Well, it's official!!! Ben is GRADUATED!! He finished his degree on April 20th, and then his graduation ceremony was on April 26th. He has really enjoyed being done! We all have! It's nice that now he is home on Saturdays, and in the evenings, and when he is home he isn't always stressed and worried about homework! We dropped Noah off at the Anderson's house on Thursday afternoon and then Ben and I caught a movie, went out to dinner, and checked into a hotel in Ogden since the first commencement ceremony was at 7:30 AM! We didn't want to drive that far first thing in the morning, so it was easier to just stay up there. After the morning ceremony was over we met up with a few of Ben's buddies and headed over to the student union building for a free lunch. We got busy chit chatting and almost missed the afternoon ceremony, the one where he actually gets the diploma, because we had to wait for a shuttle!! We rushed in and Ben got seated just as it started. Ron and Lynette met me in the audience seats with Noah, and we were able to actually sit fairly close to Ben's spot on the floor of the Dee Events Center, so that was really fun. We cheered and yelled for him when he was announced, even though we weren't supposed to. :) After taking pictures and everything, we went back to the Anderson's house where Noah and Ben both took naps before going to a great restaurant (Goodwood's) for a big family celebration dinner. All of Ben's family was able to attend except for the sister on a mission, so that was a lot of fun. All in all, I am incredibly proud of my amazing, hard working, determined, wonderful husband and his efforts and sacrifice to get this degree so he can best provide for our family. I love that man with all my heart!!! :)
