I am SO proud of Austin and his accomplishment! He graduated with honors from Pierce College with his degree in Nursing today. He has worked hard and been so dedicated to this education. It's not easy for a Dad with a family to just go back to school full time and put everything else on hold, especially for Austin who has a hard time learning in traditional ways with his ADHD and major stress/anxiety with test taking. BUT, he did it and he should be proud!
It was so fun for us to go watch him walk in his cap and gown, what an example to his little girls! Some of our great friends came to support him as well, that means so much to us, that they took the time and effort to come. Austin's brother, David, also came from Utah to represent his family and it's been so much fun to have him here with us for his first time in WA.
We had a celebration BBQ at our house after the graduation with more friends and family and we all had a great time. We are so blessed with the BEST neighborhood of such amazing friends and to have some family so close by to spend time with. I made Austin a cake for graduation, which since I am still learning this cake business, it took me A LOT of time, practice, and research to try and pull it off. But I can officially say that I have made more than just a princess castle came now!
Thank you to everyone that has supported and helped Austin and our family out while he has been in school. This is a great accomplishment and I know he will be amazing at whatever nursing he does.
Austin has one more graduation ceremony tomorrow which his his pinning ceremony and that is a big deal for a Nurse, so I will be posting more pictures tomorrow after that event.
Oh, these girls are too adorable! Just LOVE them!
Our family with Austin's brother, David.
