Graduation Day!

On Saturday May 8, 2010, my husband will graduate from Winthrop University. There's really nothing more to say on that except that I am so very proud of him. The last 3 years have been very difficult in this household, and there were at least a dozen different times where quitting would have been easier. But in life, doing what's right doesn't mean doing what's easy. We pulled together as a family and stood by him. Garrett worked his tail off, most days running on a mere 3 hours sleep. And he got it done. So well in fact, he wasn't that far off from graduating with honors. Personally, he could've graduated as a D student and I wouldn't have cared, so long as he finished what he started!

So, I've been party planning for the last month on top of everything else. This week has been a little rough since I'm in full on CF exacerbation mode. All I want to do is go to bed and sleep for a week. But it's menu planning time and decorating time, etc. Tomorrow morning we get to watch him walk across that stage finally. And later on, we will get to celebrate it all with family and friends and a ton of food, music, and cake!

I can't wait! I am so proud of him. He has set a great example for our daughter and I know that she is bursting at the seams to get to witness his commencement ceremony.

We love you, Garrett! Congratulations!
