I have been waiting a VERY and do I mean a VERY LONG time to make this blog post. Yesterday, Michael graduated from Nursing Anesthesia school at Union University. And what an awesome feeling it is to FINALLY be done!! He still needs to take the dreaded boards to officially certify, but that wont take place for another week or so.
This weekend has been full of graduation festivities. Friday night (07/29/2011)...Mike's Anesthesia class had a private party/ceremony. Mike's dad was able to come down and attend that with us. Also my parents were able to drive in from Charlotte, along with Mike's mom and step dad for the weekend to also attend the graduation festivities.

Me and Amy (Chuck's wife)...happy that its FINALLY over!!!
Friday night's ceremony was a fancy event. They had 2 of these cakes made with all the people's graduating from the program pictures printed on it.
Mike is on the very bottom right...it was a pretty good cake, and we even got to eat his "face"
All the students...again, bottom right is Mike.
At the ceremony, they highlighted everyone personally in the class. There's my handsome man having his moment.
On Saturday, the actual graduation took place. It took place at this huge Baptist Church here in town. It was one of the best college graduations I have been to. 1) My man was graduating, but 2) the ceremony was done and over with all within an hour and 10 minutes. It was AWESOME!! It really was a very nice ceremony.
Yes...that is the inside of the church! HUGE!
Mike amongst the crowd...I was annoyed b/c he was sitting by this big ole' dude who was TALL and blocking my view
After receiving his diploma...yeah, he was just a tad bit excited! I took a video of him actually walking across the stage.....

We are so glad that these 31 months are OVER. I am ever so proud of Michael. He has worked so so hard these past 31 months...and he continues to do so. HAPPY GRADUATION, Baby. WE DID IT!!!!!!!

Congrats! I'm glad you've finally reached the end of the tunnel and now you can finally enjoy the celebrations!
Yea for Mike!! What an exciting weekend. BTW Mike's picture is the bottom right.
Yay! Makes me jealous...I wish Nate's program was 31 months, we'd be long out of Ohio right now! Have fun with the move/all the changes :)
Tell Mike the Boston relatives say congratulations!! And, make sure you pack your fur lined boots and down coats! You may even have to come to Boston to warm up! Uncle Roger can tell you come great stories of living in Rochester on his mission. Lands End is a great source of winter gear along with Cabelas. Both of them have great kids stuff too! And they are made well and last a long time.
