CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2012

Mike and his brother, Richard, both graduated this month! Mike graduated with his Masters in Administration and Richard will graduate from dental school this weekend! We are so excited for both of them!!! These last two years have been hard on our family as Mike has been teaching, taking classes, running the lawn care business, coaching different sports and academic teams, and serving as the Elders Quorum President. I cannot believe that we made it through those two years and there has been a great weight lifted from our shoulders. I know that we only made it through because of our faith, family and friends! How grateful I am for the Gospel and for the knowledge that we have and for the support of loved ones!!

The Graduates

We did a little ceremony with the Nehrings and had the kids hand the guys diplomas. Mike was unable to attend his graduation because the boys had their last soccer games and we had a couple other events that day (he would rather have been doing those things!). So, we made him wear a cap and gown as well.

Graduation cake! Lindsey and I couldn't resist adding our names! After all, we kept the home going and were supportive while the guys were busy with their schooling, etc.=) I am so proud of you Mike! I know that the Lord has great things in store for you (for us) and that we are about to embark on an adventure in Administration! I know that He is preparing a place for us right now! I love you and am grateful to have you as an eternal companion to go through this journey with!
