hip-hip-HOORAY!!!

what a HUGE weekend we had-and we loved it! mason graduated on friday, june 13th with his bachelor's degree in liberal studies and we are so proud of him. it's been a long and sometimes not so pleasant road for us(especially for mason), but we've been blessed beyond measure through it all-we love you mason and we can't say it enough! and happy father's day to you too honey-you're the best in the whole universe! of course mason's parents were here this weekend to help celebrate and it was awesome as usual. they're always so supportive and loving-it's so hard when they leave. we really enjoy their visits. mason's party on saturday was a big hit-we love celebrating with family and friends so thank you to everyone who came to party with us.
so, because it was a long and sometimes hard road(12 years, but who's counting), i started thinking what i could get mason for a grad gift. surfboard, nintendo wii-these things popped into my head-then i thought-what does he really want above all else??? a trip to hawaii! so there you have it...we're going to hawaii in august and we're ecstatic! i definately think he deserves it-he's worked hard for it while working full time to support his family and everything else that's too much to mention here-just know honey that we love you tons! and thanks to nia & carrie, we'll be going to paradise without the kids-i know, we're soooooooo lucky! i just hope i don't cry everyday missing the kids. but i'm thankful for great family who support us and help out so much-what a blessing.
