Paul's Graduation

The day finally arrived, Paul graduated with his MBA on May 8, 2010. He was the tallest and most handsome graduate up there! On a more serious note, he worked very hard for this degree, not only at CCU, but at work and continued to be a great father and husband and still graduated Summa Cum Laude. We are so proud of him! Of course I couldn't get a good picture of him getting his hood, but here he is walking across the stage.

Hayden was so good the whole time, he napped, read books with Papa...

...and gave the graduates his support as they walked out of the auditorium. Future politician??It was a big day for our little family.

Paul and his parents, Ray and Donna, who were beaming with pride as well.

Paul and his fellow graduates, who are all looking for jobs by the way...(well not Paul), but if you know anyone who needs some fine young men to come work for your institution....

That night we went to The Rio Grande to celebrate with family. Hayden was so good, yet again, and let us celebrate for quite a while! Our apologies to the bus staff who had to clean up the floor after we left, but hey what do you expect from a two year old.

Hayden actually liked Mom that day, wish a little more of that would happen, but I will take what I can get.

Paul got some great wine, great cards and gifts, and one big surprise...

He's reading his card from me...probably thinking wow do I have to read all of this now? What is that...what did that just say...?

We're going to MEXICO!!! It is all booked, planned, childcare is in order, time off of work is secured...WOOHOO!

Inside Pauls card I wrote him a little poem to tell him what his gift was:

"Now that your hardwork is done, let's have some fun in the sun. Pack your bags, we're going on a trip, get ready for some margarita's to sip. Wouldn't you like to know...

We're going to MEXICO!" So Playa del Carmen here we come! We leave on May 22, and it is a much deserved trip filled with relaxation and fun!
