Great pics Ryan!

Best wishes to our internet fire hosts and good friends (Dave and Pam) as they celebrate Nathan's graduation today! Congratulations Nate!!

Our oldest son graduated yesterday. What a proud and unexpectedly emotional moment that was. His Mom cried through the whole thing because...well...that's what Moms do.

I was just standing there feeling proud of the fine young man he has become until he brought us each a rose and gave me the biggest, tightest, longest hug I have gotten since dropping him off for his first day of school. The wave of emotions that ran through me during that father/son hug is something I will never forget in all my life.

He is going to school for Diesel Mechanics in the fall and already has an internship lined up at a JD dealership in which they will help pay for his schooling. He also received $1000 in scholarships so that will help with books and such.

Don't mean to brag but I'm a pretty proud Papa today. smile
