Rick Finishes School!!!!

Rick finished his Masters Degree in Sytems Engineering from Pen State in August. We celebrated for over a week. He worked hard for this. We started his Masters over 9 years ago. He was working on and Electrical engineering Masters through the University of Idaho. It was hard to find classes for him to take that would count toward his masters and when we did find one he would start it and something major would happen in our lives, like a new baby, a big move, twins, move etc. He managed to do well in all of his classes except one and was only 3 to 4 classes away from finishing. Two years ago he came home and said he felt like he should start over and do a systems engineering degeree. I had a harder time than he did giving up on the other, but it felt right. This time no major events happened in our lives and he was able to complete it in two years. I am very proud of Rick he worked hard for this. He has always been very good at putting the kids and I first which is what has made this so hard to accomplish, but he did it.
