Auntie Heather Graduates!

We are so proud and happy for Auntie Heather today!  She just graduated college from San Francisco State University!  This has been a long road for Heather.  There was a time she didn't think that she was going to go back and get her degree.  But through her own perseverance, through lots of hard work, she did it!!!

Damien, with the rest of his siblings, went to watch Heather graduate at her school.  It was a hot day and I was happy the plan was just to send the siblings.  The kids would have been miserable!  I waited until later in the afternoon to load up the kids and head up to San Francisco to meet at the restaurant where we were going to have a party for her!

The drive was pleasant and we were there early enough to help Marlene set up.  The kids were great!  When Heather arrived, she was absolutely beaming!!!  You could just see that she was so incredibly happy and proud of herself.  One by one, the restaurant filled up with people who loved her and were there to celebrate her!

It was a wonderful day for not only Heather, but for the people who loved her and have watched her on her journey towards getting her degree.  We couldn't be happier for her and wish her the very best in her future!
