[May 8, 2015] Friday
Friday morning, before saying my final goodbyes at
Intermountain, we got to go with Matt, Lisa, the grandkids, and Lisa’s folks to
Matt’s graduation from the U. He graduates with a Master’s Degree in Mechanical
Engineering, and we’re so proud of him. It’s been a lot of hard work, late
nights, and a major lack of sleep for him to work full time while he did his
homework and studies, and Lisa has been such a huge support to him to help make
it happen. I’m sure they’ll all appreciate having their daddy home more with
them now. Matt really loves his little family, so I’m sure he’ll appreciate
having more time with them, too.
Matt, we just want you to know how much we appreciate your
hard work, your love for your sweet wife and children, and for us. You have a
strong spirit, mind, and work ethic. We look forward to sharing your
experiences through your blog (which is such an amazing effort on Lisa’s part
to keep the family up to date). Maybe you’ll be able to contribute a bit more
and share your perspectives, too, now that you are through with your degree.
After the graduation, we all went out to lunch. Lisa’s dad
was gracious and treated all of us. When we get back from Bolivia, it will be
my turn.
Here’s a picture of Matt, Lisa, and their kids after the
graduation. Andrew didn’t want to smile, but we all know that he was really
giggling inside – what with his dad all dressed up in a funny hat and robe!
