I don't care what they say, the happiest place on Earth is graduation from a 5 year program. I got teary choosing pictures for this post. What a beautiful day! The culmination of so many hours and so much sacrifice. I was on the verge of tears the entire time. We came to Fort Collins with one child and left with three and one on the way :) ( more on that later, for those who don't know about it). We bought our first house, we made lifelong friends, we experienced joy,tears, heartache and a million blessings and tender mercies along the way.
But it didn't stop with me getting emotional about our little family. I thought of the contribution that Justin's family has made in giving him opportunities to grow up around animals and to support his dream. They knew him back when he was a handful, and here he was, becoming a doctor. :) Doesn't it make you all warm inside? Or teary? Anyone?
And my parents. My Dad had surgery one week before graduation (to remove cancer) and he was there. It was all so inspiring and I was filled with love for everyone there. See? I told you. Happiest place on Earth. Maybe there are lots of happiest places on Earth :)

Congratulations Justin and Maggie!!!! What a great feeling to be done. Your family is absolutely beautiful. I'm not teary, but definitely full of warm fuzzies.
You can count on me to be teary eyed with you Maggie! Good job LB...we are so proud of you! love your BS :)
Mag--it truly does sound like the happiest place to me too! Congrats to your hubby and all the work of a 5 year program (and to you too!) I remember seeing that little countdown meter on your blog and thinking 5 years was just so dang long--and now it is over!!
Can't wait for pics from your new Texas home!
