Merry Christmas!!!

Jen graduates with her Masters!

At last Jen finished her student teaching to finally cap off what has been a few years of blood, sweat, and tears (Thats no joke)! She graduated from TWU with a Masters of Art in Teaching. We are very proud of her for her hard work and sacrifice. She did a great job with the 2nd graders (they loved her to death), and did it all while pregnant with Cierra! She worked up until the day she had the baby. She's definitely tougher than I am! Not only that but she had to fulfill requirements from the school here in Oregon and TWU in Texas. That made a lot more busy work for her. We're happy that she's done (the house was falling apart without mom!) and proud of her for her accomplishment! Since she wasn't in Texas at the time of graduation she didn't get to walk with the rest of her class, so it feels a little surreal to her. She certainly did what most wouldn't have done and we're very proud of her.
