What a Great day! John FINALLY Graduated! He officially finished his courses for a Bachelor of Science in Business, emphasis on Organizational Leadership from Southern Nazarene University. I've posted a lot of pictures, because I'm so proud! Scroll down to see....
John started his day at 5:45 a.m. this morning, when he got up to go golfing with long-time friend, Rob Carpenter. They left about 6 a.m. for Guthrie, and spent the morning on the course. And what a perfect day for golf--sunny and cool, little breeze. Considering it poured buckets last night and even dropped a little hail, it was amazing that the entire Saturday there was not a cloud in the sky.
Once he got home, he had just enough time to shower and head to SNU. I headed over in a carpool of the fam--my mom, her friend and his daughter, my sister, John's parents, his two sisters, brother-in-law and two nephews. We ended up meeting my dad at SNU, so John had quite a cheering section!
It was a long ceremony (2 hours--I guess that's about standard though), but it was very nice. Their keynote speaker of the commencement address was wonderful and kept everyone's interest.
Afterwards, it was off to Arni and Nina's (John's parents) where we had John's favorite homecooked meal, Meatballs and Rice. And, of course, cake and ice cream. Those of you who know John well will laugh at his cake..."Word"!
So, the 9-year journey is over. I know his hard work will pay off, and he'll never regret a second. He's taken a lot of different paths, hit a lot of dead ends and had to start over at the beginning. But now, he's finished this journey and can finally focus on something new! Who knows where we'll be headed next....one thing is for sure. With John, it's will be a journey full of laughs and surprises. I can't wait!
