He Did It!!

He did it!! My man graduated from Dallas Baptist University yesterday. He has been slowly working on his Business Management degree for more than 15 years now; not consecutively, but off and on. He's been very serious about it for the past 4 years, but with working in full time ministry and taking care of a family, it's been a slow process. As many of you know, he had the opportunity to take his last 24 hours this past semester so that he could graduate now. I don't mind bragging a bit; out of 8 classes, he made 6 A's and 2 B's. Yeah...that's my man! We were able to get most of the family sitting together.

D.S. and good friend Scott.


Spicy Girl will be graduating on Tuesday, so I brought her regalia to get a Daddy/Daughter graduation picture.





Daddy Spice and his mom.




Dinner afterwards at The Spaghetti Warehouse. This is D.S.'s best friend since about age 12, Kevin.





And my best friend, since the moment Kevin married her!!






Me with my man!!







The Panda Family came by for dinner and fellowship.








Spicy Girl HUGGING Panda Girl.


It was a beautifully, exciting day. I know that Daddy Spice is happy, relieved, satisfied and eager to move on to the next adventure in our lives.

Finally able to leave a comment. Blogger hasn't been nice to me.

I'm SO proud of DS! How exciting. Of course, I'm sad at the same time, knowing what will be coming up. When we go down to the lovely pink granite, we'll have to go to Chuy's!

Wahoo! What a wonderful celebration and great feeling of accomplishment! We are right in the middle of seminary, so I can only imagine the feeling of relief to be finished :) And yay for getting to see the Panda family (even though PandaPop has an odd look on his face in the picture, heehee)

YEA!!! Congratulations DS!!! I know you are so proud of him and can't wait to see what God has in store for you all.

My hubby is working on his masters as we speak, he should be finished in 2 years (has to take night classes so it will take him longer)
