He did it.
Even with all my complaining and sending Halle in to interrupt homework, he still did it.
Weston now holds a masters degree in professional accountancy along with an information systems minor from BYU.
I still remember him working and praying so hard to get into the accounting program and then working and praying for an internship with Ernst and Young and then working and praying to get into the masters program and then working and praying to be offered a full time job.
He did every one of those things and then some.
He found himself on the dean's list and then found himself receiving scholarship after blessed scholarship including one his peers voted for him to receive.
The two graduation days were full of family (some traveling to be there. thank you), cake, and ceremonies.
Wes's sister Kendyl graduated at the same time and it was so sweet to see them end this huge chapter of their lives together.
As I sat in his convocation ceremony I was surprised at how emotional I was.
It finally hit me just how hard he had been working and that he had finally achieved his goal.
I don't think any one will ever know how many hours and late nights and prayers, and dinner conversations were spent trying to get this guy to this point.
It is unbelievable.
And I was so proud you would think I was the one who was graduating.
I think I should have earned a degree in professional lunch making or professional encouraging.
Congratulations Wes!
I witnessed it all.
Let me be the first to say, you so earned this.

Tell Bell congrats from us! I remember a few of those events too--like when he was trying to get into the program and YAY he did! And now he's done. Wow. So exciting. I can't imagine what that will feel like...in seven years. haha:) Your little family is so beautiful. Maybe this summer we can see Halle sometime?! Last time we did she was just a newborn. I think we are all definitely due for a get-together. Congratulations again!
