Graduation

When Matt and I met we were crazy. Young, not so smart, and crazy.

 I was 20 and he was 25. 

We were immediately infatuated and quickly fell in love. 

This led to a pregnancy 3 months after we met. 

We were now young, in love, not so smart and terrified.

Jack came in November 2007

and

We were married in July of 2008

Neither Matt or I had degrees at this time. We were both working full time and raising our sweet little boy (thankfully by Gods grace with our best friend).

We found out in October of 2009 that we were pregnant again.

This time not as terrified, we decided a plan was needed desperately.

Matt decided to go back to school and finish up his bachelors degree through 

The University of Phoenix    

He did all online courses. This means that during the day Matt worked full time providing for our family. He then would come home and we would play with the kids, live our crazy busy lives and help me put the kids to bed. And then stay up to 1:00 each morning doing homework. 

Then wake up and do it all over again.

He did this for 2 1/2 years straight with incredible discipline and pretty good grades to say the least. 

This past Saturday after much determination, amazing focus, and an incredible amount of hard work Jack, Lucy and I got to celebrate Matt graduating from the University of Phoenix with a bachelors degree in Business Management.

Proud does not begin to describe our feelings.

I had to really focus to try not to cry my eyes out watching him on stage. Partially because I am pregnant and incredibly emotional and partially because I don't think any wife could be more proud of her husband than I am right now.
