It was not quite four years ago we moved Joel out to Arizona to start his studies at U of A.
Last Friday was the culmination of all his hard work.
It was a beautiful and sunny day. The school ceremony was at 7:30 but Joel had a School of Civil Engineering 'personal' commencement for the 30 BS degrees, 5 master degrees and 1 doctorate degree in Civil Engineering.
We got to hear of all the things people did and the extra awards they earned and it was very cool. Joel picked up a few accolades for his extra work involved over the last 3 years. I couldn't be more proud.
When that was over we took a few pictures. A few hundred it felt like.
Then it was on to Chipotle for a celebratory lunch time burrito!
After that we headed back to school and started getting ready for the entire school ceremony. Which is huge and takes place in the football stadium....
We watched and watched to see if we could see Joel coming in. I had my doubts that we would...Nah!
Son of a gun had first row seats! I think it was completely random but he is lucky that way.
I was going to go on and show a few more pictures and explain it but this is a video that shows the entire night better than I can explain it
It made for a great night!
We are so very proud of you Joel!
