Jon finally graduated from Weber State University with his Bachelors in Electronic Engineering Technology! It was a very exciting day, especially considering he has been going to school for the past 8 years, he could be a Doctor or something by now. I am very proud of him!! He got a 4.0 the last few semesters of college and graduated with a very good GPA. He worked very hard through school.
This was before his convocation ceremony. Doesn't he look handsome!!??
Him and Tye with their favorite professor, Julie. She was so nice!! Jon and Tye were her boys. They were called "The Jon and Tye Show" up in their department. They were very well known up there.
Our family. Do the outfits look familiar? Easter gave us a good excuse to get new clothes for graduation! It worked out perfectly. By the way, do you notice the mischievious baby? She is just innocently pulling her sisters hair.
The cute guy and I!
Jon with his twin brother, James. It meant the WORLD to Jon to have his twin there. He was so happy he made it!
Jon with James and their two sisters, Heather and Janene. Their other brother was unable to make the graduation because he is a school teacher and was teaching.
Everyone that came to support Jon! Thank you everyone! It meant a lot to Jon. James' wife Liz was also there, but took their boys to the car. You know how hard it is going to events with children?
Jon and Tye. Jon would not have made it without Tye. They were "study buddies" for the last 5 years. Jon was missing an art credit at the end, so Tye graduated a semester before them. These two worked their butts off, and it has finally paid off!!!
Jon and Brian, another one of the "study buddies." Jon got to know some really great people while going to school.
It is nice to have this chapter of our life over with. I will graduate next year, and then Jon will move on to his Masters, but it has been so nice having a husband again and not living as a single mom any longer. It has been an adjustment having him home, but the girls LOVE being able to see their Daddy everyday!

I didn't realize Jon was a twin. That's fun, I love being a twin. Congratualtions to your family that is so wonderful. I also didn't realize he would be going on to get his masters.....more school yuck! But graduate school has a totally different to it, at least from the wife's perspective. You feel that much closer to being done for good!
It looks like you had a wonderful day with lots of support from family, what a blessing.
Meant to say it has a different feel to it!
Holly that's awesome! Congrats to Jon, that's an amazing accomplishment! The fact that he was working, had a wife and three kids while going to school speaks volumes!
