My Very Own Scientist

   

Mike's convocation for his Masters of Science was Friday morning and even though I've been warned they are long and boring I was excited to go.  We didn't attend his undergrads and we missed mine due to a car accident.  It was LONG but definitely didn't bore me.  I anxiously waited on the edge of my seat until they called Mike's name and he walked across the stage so I could clap obnoxiously and give a WOOT WOOT from the crowd.  I won't say too much because I know Mike hates the attention but I feel pretty impressed with all that he has accomplished as of late.  The past year has been pretty stressful around the Balderson household.  Mike though has been able to successfully write and defend his thesis, undertake (and complete a lot of) a major house renovation, care for his new born son, and do this all while trying to keep his disgruntled wife happy.  Love you Mike, and I can't wait to be obnoxious again at your convocation for your doctorate!
