Graduation


On Sunday, Ben graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Criminal Justice.

If you ask him, it's not really a big deal, but he's worked really hard to get to this point.

He did less than awesome at his first attempt at college--really he just never went!  He decided to give it another try about the time that Luke was born.

The number of credits he needed was overwhelming at first.  He worked nights most of those years, so he had to figure out how to work sleep and classes into his days, and he studied through three babies.  

It took a lot of dedication, but he trudged through and 16 1/2 years after he graduated high school, he finally has his college degree--and a high GPA to boot! 

We are all really proud of him!

He absolutely did not want to walk--I can't really blame him--but his mom and I talked him in to it.  We both thought it was important for the boys to see the end product of all of his hard work!
