THE GRADUATE

IMG_6872

We’re finished!!!  Spencer graduated with his MBA last weekend!  (I think I might end up with lots of exclamation points.  This is all very exciting.)  AND he got straight A’s to boot!  I’m so proud of him and all the hard work that he’s done in the last 2 years.  I think we are still getting used to the idea that school is actually over.  He doesn’t have a job yet, but is currently involved in 2nd round interviews and we are hoping that this will be the one.  Please pray for us. :)

The entire Hill clan made it out for Spencer’s big day.  It was fantastic.  Everyone arrived on Wed. afternoon and the festivities began with a big meal at our house.  I cooked and cleaned and decorated, etc.  Ryan must have known something was up and helped out by taking two 2+ hour long naps which NEVER happens.  Thank goodness.  The food was delicious (if I do say so myself) and it was great to have everyone in our home.  The ceremonies took place on Thursday and Friday.  We ate lots of good food, went bowling and just enjoyed family and the awesome milestone of an MBA Grad.  Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Brothers and cousins.  Ryan and Christopher held hands the whole time we took their picture.  It was so cute!IMG_6893

My brilliant husband.  Doesn’t he look so handsome and smart in his Graduate robes.  He kept saying he was a wizard.  It was funny.

I just want to say how proud I am.  Spencer has worked so hard and sacrificed so much for his degree and for our family.  He’s done it all with amazing grace and poise. 

I love you so much Spencer and am honored to be your wife.  Thank you!

Yea for Spencer! Cristian decided not to walk but we heard that when everyone went up to get their diplomas, they couldn't shake the Dean's hand because of concerns about swine flu! So stupid.
