My husband is a lawyer. Law school is over. Graduation has come and gone. Sentences I hardly dared to think. On the other hand, it's hard to believe that this chapter in our life is coming to a close.
We had a fabulous weekend with family and friends. Drew's mom, dad, dad's wife Jessica, my parents and brother all flew in to witness the blessed event. From bowling, to dinner out, to bruncheons and luncheons, to talking with Eric in Romania, to a killer storm sending everyone home, to Makenna cutting her first tooth last night, we had a memorable graduation weekend. Drew was recognized for receiving both his Juris Doctorate and Masters in Business Administration when his name was called. They "hooded him" with a purple (J.D.), red and blue (U of R) hood before he walked up the stairs to the stage. And after three years of grueling workloads in his classes, Dean Douglass handed him a scroll of blank paper with a ribbon around it (his actual diploma will come this summer after grades are in).
After all is said and done, I am so extremely proud of Drew and all he's accomplished in his academic career. Just to graduate law school is a huge feat in and of itself. But a duel degree, his membership in Law Review, various competitions he's taken part in, and most importantly, his devotion to the church and his family all add to the amazing man he is.
Now we have two glorious weeks of NOTHING before his Bar Review class begins, which goes right up until he takes the Bar at the end of July.
