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!

Sam ~ congratulations on graduating from college. You sure put a lot of work in, especially in the last semester with the rocket engine test. Great job and hope you find a job soon.
I am also glad that both of our kids are finished with college. Saving some money for something for us sounds great.
I agree...Sam worked hard and I am proud of him. I am proud of you too for supporting both our boys as they pursued their educational goals. Maybe they will in turn support us in old age! :)
Let's start looking for that RV soon!
Sam congratulations!! We wish we could have been there to share in your day. You are an amazing young man!!
All of our love,
Dee, Ed and Nick
