It has been a whirlwind month or so as I (Sal) flew down to Florida for Thanksgiving and got to hang out with the family down there (Lee & Ron; Sam, Chris & their boys; Alex, Brit & Blake; Mom & Dad, Charlie & Ekat, Emily & Savannah) while Kim stayed home studying for finals that he'd be taking the week after. So I went, and had an amazing time - and Kim stayed home and took all his finals and passed all his classes and graduated from Fayetteville State University last weekend! Woo hoo!
It's been a long haul for Kim - really over the last thirty or so years as he attended classes on and off - some at Metro State in Denver, some at Arapahoe Community College, some at Mesa State (Colorado Mesa University), some at Campbell University, and the rest at FSU. What a testimony of perseverance and hard work. We're really proud of him, and the kids were so excited for him that Sarah and Sean, along with Rocco and Rilo surprised Kim by flying out for the weekend to attend his graduation and celebrate with us. It was AWESOME! (AND he was totally surprised!)
The church hosted a small party for Kim that afternoon and so we had a great time celebrating Kim, showing off our grandsons and kids, and spending time with great friends who would take time to acknowledge and celebrate Kim's accomplishment.
