Master Jacob

I am happy to let each of you know that we are done with school in our house!!!!! Jacob completed his Master's degree this summer and graduated on Friday night.

The evening started off nervously......for the last month Jacob has been waiting to find out for sure if he was graduating or not. He emailed people, called people, and basically drove himself crazy. Finally this past Wednesday he talked to someone who said oh yeah we mailed you a letter in July but it came back to us I guess we had your address wrong! Evidently they are not familiar with trying again! Anyway back to Friday, all the way to the gym Jacob kept saying I hope my name's on the list. So we walked in and I grabbed a program and we frantically searched for his name......thank goodnes it was there (Ialways knew it would be)! So there we were, Jacob had to go line up and I took on the challenge of saving seats expecting the rest of our family to be there ASAP to help me. Little did I know that would not be the case and instead I was forced to ward off seat stealers for quite some time. I was forced to stick out my belly as far as I could so people would avoid making me mad but there were some very persistent people who wanted my seats. Thank God for the people behind me who helped me to laugh it off and ward off others. Finally everyone showed up and the party started.

The graduates marched in and I noticed that the seats were filling up rather quickly and there were still graduated coming. Turns out they didn't set up enough seats........

The ceremony was nice and pretty quick, although not quick enough for all of our group!

Soon it was Jacob's turn

We are all very proud of Jacob's accomplishments. He is the most driven person I know and when he sets his mind on a "challange" he will complete it.
