He did it!

My very best friend and husband received his Masters in Art Education from NIU earlier today! I can’t tell you all how very proud I am of him and his accomplishments. Not only did he finish his degree, but he also kept going as a full-time art teacher, track coach, and most importantly- father and husband.
He is most certainly someone I look up to and I am ever grateful for his humility, perseverance, and desire to care for his family. With this big day I truly share his joy he has with what he just completed. It’s on occasions like this that I do feel that he and I are “one” and that we do rejoice in one another’s achievements.
Well done- Nathan!



I was a proud wife and found myself hanging over the railing to get a shot of him while seated. He is in the foreground…3rd row up and to the left (by 2) of the empty chairs.



The Convocation Center was dreadful to take ANY photos- here he is on the big screen receiving his diploma!
We will be spending tonight celebrating at a local Mexican restaurant with live Mariachis. Then, back to our place for dessert and champagne! Hurray!
