master in the house

last saturday

my amazing husband graduated.

 

after 10 years of traveling,

studying,

late nights,

and papers i didn't understand when i proofread,

jeff earned his masters degree from western seminary.

they also asked him to be the student speaker.

i am so proud.

 

 

(one of jeff's besties, and his seminary partner in crime, jerrod rumley, also graduated on saturday
but couldn't be at the ceremony.
it wasn't the same without them!)

the tassel 

the hood

since jeff started seminary

he has gotten married

had 3 children

moved to 2 towns

and had 3 jobs.

i remember being in the hospital after having charlotte.

she came 2 days earlier than expected

so poor jeff was trying to write a paper in the hospital.

he has worked so hard.

i already thought he was amazing

now he's just given me one more reason to sing his praise.

i love that when i hear him preach 

i learn so much.

he is one smart guy!

it was special to celebrate with friends and family.

thanks to everyone that came out to celebrate him!

jeff's parents, jim & sue

his sister, jenny, & brother-in-law, kris

my mom, suzanne, and step-dad, ron

my aunt janice & uncle roger

sweet friends from davis, the geigers

more davis favorites, the dodds

 after the ceremony, we headed over to davis

(and were surprised to see more of our davis friends!  yay!)

the dodds had a great little party at their home.

we ate dos coyotes (mmmm...yucatan chicken salad!) and the kids swam.

thank you dodds!

here are some videos from the ceremony.
