Graduation Day!

I've been on a blogging break, as life has been busy around our household the last few weeks. We also had some computer problems, but have hopefully gotten those worked out. My older two sons are now both college graduates! We're very proud of them and all of the hard work they've accomplished. Ryan, 22, has been hired as a youth pastor. Randy, 20, would like to teach English in So. Korea or China for a year before going on to get his Master's degree and is applying to several programs. Here are some photos of the wonderful day.  Thank you to the dear friends who came to help them celebrate!
That's my boys!
Blessings,
Marcia

  1. Hi Marcia, I wondered why you were MIA, but I can see you had two very good reasons for it. Congrats to both your handsome boys and good luck to them in their new endeavors. How wonderful for them and the family. Wishing them much success. Looks like it was a fabulous day for a graduation. Many blessings,Tammy
