From our Family to Yours...

 

May God bless you with a Merry Christmas and keep blessing you all through the New Year!

Two Down, None to Go...

 
I am now the proud mom of two college graduates! Sam graduated from CSUS with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Not only did he graduate, he graduated Magna Cum Laude! He worked so hard and we couldn't be more proud!

Sam and I had many discussions over whether or not he would attend the commencement ceremony Friday evening. I wanted him to go and he kept refusing. Basically I ended up playing the ultimate "Mom" card called "guilt" and he eventually gave in and agreed to attend.

After it was over, he had to admit that he was really glad he attended and he actually had a good time with his friends.

Sunday afternoon we had a pizza party to celebrate with friends and family. The pizza was so good it was gone before I could get a picture, but at least I got one of the pretty cake!

Although the party was really for Sam, Steve and I were celebrating too...for after 8 years of sending kids through college we are done! Ahhhhhhhh, maybe now we can actually save for that RV we have been dreaming about for so long. Or maybe we should do the kitchen remodel. Or perhaps take a real vacation. Hmmmmm...

By the way, is anyone interested in hiring a good mechanical engineer? I just happen to know one that is looking for a job!
