The Big Day

We have been waiting for this day for 2.5 years! It is finally here!

Joel's Graduation Day!

This morning's walk down the aisle signified the end of a long journey for Joel, and our entire family. Joel began working on his Master's of Liberal Studies in Creative Writing through the University of Denver in the Summer of 2007. He has worked very hard over the past couple of years taking classes, writing papers, composing poetry, sharing nonfiction pieces and even creating some fiction. Today's ceremony was the final step and Rhonda & I were there to take it with him. We are so proud of all his hard work!

Here are a few pictures from the outside ceremony--the weather actually cooperated & the commencement speaker kept it short--we were done in 1.5 hours!







Joel is the tall one down in front in the center of the picture--he was in the front row!
