Congratulations, Lee!!

After two years of hard work, Lee successfully earned his 

Master's degree in Aeronautical Science!

Although a lot of our excitement at this news comes from the fact that it is a really 

big accomplishment, I have no problem admitting that a lot of our excitement also comes from the fact that it is over! (Too bad this also means we will 

have to start repaying student loans.)

The program Lee completed was an online program through Embry Riddle University, a prestigious aeronautical university. (Lee also refers to the university as a money sucking leech.) :) Since it was an online program, Lee spent a great deal of time on his laptop. He adopted the chair in our front room as his own personal study chair, and that's where he spent countless hours in the past two years! Here's a funny story that says a lot: The week Lee's final project and review were all due, the next door neighbor came over to play with Morgan and Brynne. I heard her ask the girls, "Why does your dad always sit in that chair up there and do stuff on his computer?" With degree in hand, 

this is what Lee now likes to spend his time on the chair doing:

I really am proud of Lee for this accomplishment! Earning a Master's degree is no easy task, but it becomes an even harder task when you are also a husband and father. I appreciate how hard Lee worked to make sure our family's needs were taken care of, even if it meant staying up late into the night to meet a school deadline. 

Congratulations, Lee!!
