CONGRATULATIONS!

photo credit: Mark Holladay Lee


I am so proud of my husband.  
He will be graduating tomorrow from Brigham Young University -Hawaii with a Bachelors degree in Social Work.
This has been a long hard road for him, juggling being a husband and a father, working full time and going to school full time, but he DID IT.
THIS IS A BIG DEAL.  
Aaron had tried different vocational schools in the past, but mainly worked full time not ever seeing himself going to school and getting a degree.
That was 7 years ago when I met him, look at him now.
He will be the first to graduate in his family with a bachelors degree.
He has already been accepted into the graduate program to get his MSW and he was accepted into the Advanced Standing program which means he will be able to accomplish it in one year instead of two!!!
I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU BABY :)
CONGRATULATIONS!
i love you.

Great job Aaron!!! I know that was a trial for your family, but the end result is well worth it. Now your little ones have a strong example of both mommy and daddy graduating college. That is a big deal! Shanae, kudos for being supportive. I know how hard that is as well.
