HE'S DONE!!!!

We had one of the best days in our life last Saturday!Align Center

Dusty's family is such a great support to him!!! My parents and his parents were also there. We missed Dalan and Timari and Ryan and Malya!

We are so glad that Daddy is going to be around more often. At least we hope so.



He is so handsome!!! I LOVE YOU DUSTY!!!
If you did know this...Dusty hates being on the blog. He even said on the way to graduation. "Are you going to put this on the blog if I let you take my picture" Of course!!!


The big moment!!! I am so proud of him! The past four years have been so long I am so glad he hung in there and finished!!! I never thought this day would come.

At the graduation ceremony one of the speakers gave Dusty a special recognition in her speech. She said she was going to tell a few story's of students that stood out above the rest. She told how he had gone to school for a year back in 97 and quit and then came back and raised his grades. He drove from Honeyville. Worked a full time job and is married and has 4 kids under 6. The whole place clapped and cheered. It was so neat. I was balling like a baby.

We are so excited to be done. We are staying here in Honeyville. He is going to stay working for his dad on the family ranch. He is a huge example to me and the kids. How knows may be some day I'll go back and get my degree. As much as I hated it I am glad he did it and didn't give up!!!
