John's Graduation

John graduated on Friday, May 18th, 2012 from NYU Law school. He graduated with an LL.M in taxation. He basically did an extra year of law school to get a Master's degree and specialize in tax law. I am so proud of him! He said it was harder than law school was. Weston was born during school and we moved cross country. He did so great and I am so thrilled this chapter is finally closed in our lives! 

No more finals.
No more late night classes.
No more homework/reading books and outlines.
No more paying absurd amounts of money to the school and living on student loan money.
No more having my other half gone all the time.
No more worrying about grades.
No more having to sit through boring/long graduations. (I've now been to 3 of John's graduations) 
NO MORE SCHOOL EVER AGAIN!

John starts his new job at Ernst & Young in Houston on the 18th of June. He is looking forward to starting what he has prepared for for so long. I'm looking forward to seeing him more and actually having an income instead of paying to go to school. John's good friend Jeff came all the way out here from Utah to attend his graduation and support John! What a cool guy. The graduation was long, but it was very well done. The best part was that John wanted to walk with the baby since he was born during the school year. I wasn't sure if it would work out because he was being really fussy and John's dad had him outside in the foyer. He had finally fallen asleep and I didn't want to wake him up. We saw his buddy holding his daughter and decided to make it work. The baby woke up just in time and stole the show! I filmed it with an iphone, but it was far away. I almost started crying when I saw them both on the big screen. The crowd cheered and Weston was being so cute up there. I was one proud wife. Congrats John! Thank you for going to school 7+ years after high school to provide for our family! I love you! You weren't allowed to take pics up close while they were walking so we bought the professional ones that their photographer took. Jeff took a few of us outside after it was over, but we were limited on time and it was windy out. The first 6 pics were from the photographer. Afterwards we headed to dinner at a very fancy restaurant called Wolfgang's Steakhouse to celebrate. It was a great day!

John's Graduation Weekend.

John has officially graduated from Pepperdine Law school! So happy and proud of him. He has worked really hard. My mom, dad and grandma came here late Wednesday night to spend some time with us before graduation. On Thursday we hung out all day and went to the Biggest Loser ranch that is right around the corner from our apt. here in Calabasas.  It was cool to see where they work out all season. Friday morning was graduation outside at Pepperdine. It was a hot day with a bit of a breeze. It was a really pretty setting for a graduation. We all put on sunscreen, but still managed to get fried. Haha. Luckily the sunburns didn't show up till after we took some pics. I sat behind John with up the other grads so I could be his "hooder." There is this hood thing you place behind their head before they go up and get their diplomas. It was nice to get a close seat. Right after we all met up at the park next to our apt. and had lunch. It was so nice to have a lot of family there to support John. It was a great day! John starts Bar prep classes on Monday at Pepperdine. I got pics from John's parents, pics I took, and pics from my dad. As you can imagine, a lot of photos were taken. I'll try not to post too many. Heehee...
