Tomorrow is the day Brad and I have been waiting for since 2006. Brad is GRADUATING!!! I am so so so excited!!! We were talking tonight about all the changes in our lives since he started college and I though I'd share:
1. Brad was the manager at ChuckECheese's and I started working as a nurse(RN).
2. Brad started working at Mathers Electric as an apprentice electrician. 3. We got married!
4. Brad cut his hand at work and almost lost a finger. Had surgery and lots of stitches and couldn't work for three months while his hand healed. Big time blessing from the Lord that it did heal, the surgeon wasn't sure if the surgery would work.
5. A few months after starting back at Mathers, Brad decided that the risk of injury wasn't worth it, and started working at Nature's Finest as a Pest Technician.
6. Brad was in a wreck that was a hit and run( he was okay), but from this we decided to buy our Honda CR-V.
7.We bought a house!
8.Our house flooded and we had to move in with my parents for almost 2 months while it was being repaired.
9. Brad tore something in his knee playing baseball and almost had another surgery.
10. Brad was promoted to manager at Nature's Finest.
11. We became parents.
12. Brad started working as a Financial Accountant at Canopy Oaks Elementary School.
13. Leaving Grad rehearsal Brad was hit by another car on Capital Circle. Had it happened less than an hour earlier during rush hour there would have been injuries for sure. Thank you Lord that Brad and the other driver are okay and that Raelee wasn't in the car with Brad. Oh and that he was driving his beat up car and not the CR-V.
Also in during this time, Brad's dad had two heart bypasses done and many other surgeries on his heart. We had deaths in the family. Two of my siblings got married. Our well broke. Our AC unit for our house was stolen. Friends came home from missions. We went on a cruise. Our BFF's had babies...I could keep typing all night I think!
Quote by Brad "All in all, it's been an awesome experience"
I just want to say how proud I am of Brad. He's the first in his family to go to college and it wasn't really something that he had planned on when he graduated high school. I am so proud of all he has juggled during this time. He has been an amazing husband and friend. He is a great father. I am most proud of Brad because he has worked full time all these years, and for most of them he was also taking a full time load at college. That was not easy. We've felt bad cause we've had to tell family and friends over and over again, "we can't do (fill in the blank) cause our schedules are too busy". We weren't just saying that, they really were! We're excited to start on this new chapter of our lives and be able to spend more time with family and friends. Congrats Bradley!!!xoxoxo

"Oy!" is all I can say for what y'all have been through over the last five years, but if the two of you got through all of it as well you two have, I do believe you two should be able to survive anything. You two are fortunate to have one another.
After all that, I believe another cruise or vacation is in order!
Brad, congratulations and I wish you well in your future.
