Master Mike!!

Wahoo! We made it!! He has that all important piece of paper!! (And it's the actual one--A&M hands out the actual diploma at graduation.) CONGRATULATIONS MIKE!!

We had a great time with all the graduation festivities. The morning of graduation was moving central and then we spent the evening celebrating Mike! It was so great to have his parents in town, even if their sleeping accommodations were, shall I say, Boxy... :) Thanks for coming Mom and Dad! We went to this great little mom and pop Italian place for dinner and then suffered through 3 hours of name calling! But it was great to see Mike walk across the stage and think of all that he has accomplished! I'm so proud of him--way to go Babe!

And thanks to everyone that sent a graduation gift--or pitched in to get him great things! His family was generous and put together enough money to allow Mike to get a nice used piano and he got a money tree (Mike said that now that he's graduated, I think that money grows on trees!) to put towards a BBQ from Katelyn and I! We are certainly blessed!

These pictures are for Meg--the brainchild of great gift giving! He was SO surprised!

What Italian restaurant did you go to? I'm looking for a good one other than Olive Garden.

We miss you lots. It was weird not seeing your family near the front on Sunday! Hope things are going great with the new house!!
