Graduation

I am so proud of my husband.

Blake graduated from tech school last Thursday and that in and of itself is quite an accomplishment. 

He is now a Geospatial Analyst for the United States Air Force.

But, he didn't just stop there.. his fellow classmates honored him as the 'Outstanding Contributor'. Which means they thought he was the biggest help and contributor of their class. He tutored students and helped his fellow classmates pass the tests. He was presented with an award for this.

He also did very well on his tests and had a great GPA. I figured he would be one of the twenty or so students that were Honor Graduates. But when they didn't call his name to stand and be recognized,  I was pretty disappointed. And I could tell, Blake was too. But it was very short lived because he was instead, called on stage and honored as the 'Distinguished Graduate". That means he was the honor graduate of the honor graduates in his class! He was presented with an award and the commanders coin.

I just love my family.

We made some awesome friends while we were here. Christina and Phill live above us and Blake and Phill were in the same class together. They are heading to Cannon AFB as well, and even though he and Blake will be in different squadrons, we will be in the same town, and for that, I am super happy. They have been such a blessing to our little family.
