I am so proud to announce that Mr. Italian Stallion graduated over the weekend with his A.A! He has been working so hard for the past 10 years on getting this done and he did it! This was a very big deal to our family because when he was in the 8th grade he had made the decision to drop out of school. A few years later he completed his GED with AWESOME scores might I add, and then in the fall of 2001 he enrolled in Penn Valley Community College. Shortly after, we met, married, and had 3 children so it took him a little longer than expected to finish. This is was his very first graduation and I wanted to make it extra special for him! We invited out family and our closet friends to the ceremony and the next day we hosted an open house to thank everyone for all the support over the last 10 years. Funny thing is that only our family and our faithful bestfriends were able to make it to the open house...I was so embarrassed and felt terrible! After the day was done, my sweet husband told me the party was absolutely perfect because all of his favorite people were there and he did indeed feel very loved! So, thank you to all who came and helped me make that weekend a memorable one for him. I kept telling him I'm the luckiest woman in the world to be able to share that special moment with him, I had tears in my eyes as he walked across the stage and never had I been so proud of him in all of our time together! Seriously was one of my best moments ever!
Teddy, I love you so much! I stand in awe of you everyday, you are the most disciplined and hard working person and you have been a great example to our family. Thank you for all your hard work!
After all was said and done, he told me, "Not too bad for an 8th grader, huh?" LOL
Oh, how I love that man!
p.s. I'm trying to get better at blogging...I know it's been 3 months, but hopefully I'll have a little more time to do it now! :)
