So, Keith has officially graduated. Actually, he's had his diploma for over a month, but the ceremony was just last week. As you can see, his parents were able to join us in Phoenix. They surprised Keith at the airport. The ceremony only lasted about two hours, which isn't bad considering there were about 1200 graduates. We were there over fours hours total, which was a little long for the kids, but they did great. I'm not sure how I would have done it by myself, so I'm thankful that Granny and Pops were there to help!!
I love being reminded that we live in a small world. As we were leaving the stadium, I ran into a girl I knew from high school!! She had received her masters also and was there with her husband. They live in Texas now, so it's not even someone I would run into at home. I haven't seen her since high school, so it was really crazy that we saw each other in Arizona!
Part of the fun of graduation for the boys(all three) was getting to see the University of Phoenix stadium. I wish we could save our seats for the super bowl next year!! This was the first class to graduate there, which was neat to be a part of that. You could text a message saying congratulations or whatever you wanted and they put it up on the big screens. Keith's mom sent a couple and we were able to get pictures of them. Keith's name has been on the big screen, so I think that makes him famous!! I'm really proud of him and all that he has accomplished. I know it's been much harder for him because he's had a family to support while going to school. I think the best advice Keith and I have to offer anyone coming out of high school is to finish college before you get married and have a family. I don't have any regrets about the way we've done things, and I wouldn't go back and change anything, but it does add extra challenges.
Keith, I just have to say, Way to go baby! I'm so glad that you were able to take part in the ceremony this time. You're the best!!

Congratulations Keith!!!! Chris and I are so excited for you!
Congrats, Keith! That is a great accomplishment. I know your family and Libby's are all very happy that you have come this far with your education. By the way, Libby, who did you run into from high school?
congratulations! now you can tell me what i am doing wrong over here at the gym...
Congrats! I am proud of you too! I'm having a hard enough time just getting my bachelors=)
By the way, I don't know if Carissa asked but would Chloe want to be a flower girl with Kiley? We of course would love to have her but that is up to ya'll if you think she would want to ... she could just walk down then come sit with you and Kiley can stand up there with Lacey. Anyway, can't wait to see ya'll, hope the house is coming along good!
Yay, Keith!! We're so happy you got to walk this time. You'll treasure those photos forever. :)
