Graduation Weekend

This past weekend we had graduation on Friday.......
and then there was graduation on Saturday...

Brock graduated on Friday night. He is like another child of ours and we couldn't be more proud of what he has accomplished. He will be attending college in Stevens Point in fall. Way to go Brock!!


Brock and his sister. They are so close - one more reason to be proud. I am sure she will miss him when he leaves for school.

Brock and his older sister (ok cousin). But like I said we think he and his sister like our own. So special to us all.



Then Saturday we went to the Twin Cities. Jenn graduated from Hamline University with her Masters Degree in Public Administration. Look out world - Here she comes. Jenn has worked so hard not only to get her bachelors from River Falls, but also as she continued to work full time and go to school at night and weekends to obtain her Masters. For those of you who know her she continued to volunteer for all the organizations she believes in. We couldn't be more proud of her. She is a bright, talented, beautiful young woman who has the whole world in front of her.

Here is her campaign picture. She has talked about running for office....



After graduation we went to Spill the Wine for dinner (downtown Minneapolis) and then to The "W" for a post grad party with her friends. Here is Jenn and Heather at Spill the Wine.

A view from The "W" - Downtown Minneapolis. We were on the 27th floor - what a view of the city.


The weekend ended not only with graduations but also with get-togethers with friends on Sunday night and Monday evening. A busy weekend - but so memorable. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends to spend time with.
