It happened, Benton graduated from Weber State University with a Bachelors Degree in Information Systems and Technology-Network Security. I couldn't be prouder of him! What an exciting day for him to finish school, he has worked so hard these past 6 years while we've been married. He's been going to school and working at least 2 jobs (1 full time job & 1 part time job) the whole time. I feel so blessed to be married to someone who is such a hard worker, it's one of the things I love about Benton the most. He'll always take care of me, he is so determined- I know he can succeed at whatever he puts his hands too, which makes me all sorts of jealous. I could sit here and brag about him all day because I cannot be happier for him and his accomplishment, I'll stop now, just know how grateful I am of everything he does for us!

So being as excited as I was about him getting his degree, I decided to throw Benton a SURPRISE PARTY! I started planning it about a month before I threw it, and man was it hard keeping it a secret. Some of you know that we have been finishing our basement now for about 3 months and we were down to the last of it and I thought it would be done way before the party, but nope we didn't get anything moved down til the day before the big Surprise party...I was SUPER stressed out...poor Benton thought it was because of me being 8 months pregnant, but little did he know I had much more planned for him! His good friend Mike got him out of my house, they went to hit golf balls...Benton would never turn that idea down, so off he went and I started scurrying around my house tyring to get ready....here he is walking into the party and everyone anxiously waiting to yell SURPRISE!
He was shocked, had no clue at all! I'm so happy it all worked out, here are some other pics from the party!
Congratulations Benton, I am so proud, love you!
