The Light

We are out of the tunnel and have officially reached the light!

Today was a wonderful day for our family.  To say that I am proud of this man would be the understatement of the century.  He has earned his OD degree, which in itself is a remarkable accomplishment.  But what I am most proud of is that he did it while investing in his marriage, bringing two beautiful boys into the world, being an amazing hands-on Daddy, maintaining his own physical, emotional, and spiritual health, and cultivating a rich community of friends.  He has never used his academic pursuit as an excuse from living life to the fullest in all areas, and as a result we are closing this chapter of our lives not with a big sigh of, "Finally" but with precious memories and bittersweet emotions.  I am so thankful for his leadership, discipline, and perseverance.  Praise be to God for his sustaining grace, abundant provision, and constant guidance to Jonathan and me over the last four years.   

Congratulations to my handsome Doc!    

Confession of a Relieved Student's Wife: this photo reveals that I may feel a little bit of a share in that hard-earned diploma!  He definitely could have done it without me, but I don't think he would have had nearly as much fun! ;)
