Here They Are...

Pictures from Nate's graduation last Saturday...


Here he comes.. I don't know what happened.. it didn't look this blurry on my camera..

In his seat.. he's in the middle of the screen looking at me.
He made it!!

Changing his tassle..

At the University Center after it's all over..

This is the cake I made him.. I thought it turned out pretty good.. except I this cake had a big crumb issues.. so it looks like pistol pete has spots on his chin..
Anyway, Nate has worked so hard over the past few years.. working full time and going to school part time.. sometimes driving to Stillwater 3 days a week. That's a gas bill I definitely won't miss.
I'm really proud of him. He's actually given a lot up for me. For those of you that don't know Nate was about 18 credit hours away from a degree in architecture when we got married. He took a year and a half off because of my job situation.. at first we thought we were moving to Arkansas and then it turned out I got a job here in OKC but it didn't pay enough for him to be in school full-time. Architecture school is like an 80 hour a week job. So, he gave up school for me. When he went back it was for a degree in sociology, that's the degree he just received. I don't know if he'll ever finish the architecture degree, sometimes he wants to but sometimes he doesn't. He really did sacrifice a lot, as far as school goes, for me. He's always wanted me to be able to succeed in what I do.. What a great guy!!!
Congratulations Nate!! I love you!!
