Hooray for JR who graduated yesterday!!! It's been a busy busy two years for him but he finally gets to rest from all of his labors (at least until August when he starts his second masters degree). I'm so proud of all that JR has accomplished this year and am so thankful for his ambition and all he does to assure our family will be taken care of. He graduated with honors because, well, he is so smart!
JR's Mom, Step dad, Dad, Step mom and his niece all came from AZ to celebrate. We are so happy they were able to make it and we had a good time with them while they were here.
JR with the other Sport Psychology graduates and his professors:
JR didn't really want to go to commencement but I kind of pressured him into agreeing to going but after sitting through his 2 hour hooding ceremony I gave him the ok to skip it if he wanted to he opted out of commencement but the hooding ceremony was really neat to watch. I tried to capture JR on the big screen as he was being hooded and got a pretty bad picture of him and apparently some other guy (JR is on the right).
I threw JR a little graduation party and by party I mean balloons, a pie, and a present. Wasn't much of a party to tell you the truth.
While we were in the bookstore the day before graduation ABC news was in there and asked to interview JR. He so didn't want to do it but they were really pressuring him (as was his dad) so he gave in. This year marked the 100th graduating class from Fresno State. JR didnt' really care much about being the 100th class so when they asked him how he felt about it he was caught off guard a little and he told me he had said something along the lines of "Well, I haven't really thought much about it but I guess it's pretty cool to be a part of it" Well funny thing is, out of everything they asked him that is the one thing they broadcast but they totally spliced it to sound like how they wanted it. News people! You can see famous JR
here.
So there you have it, JR is now a "Master" of Sport Psychology so if anyone needs a sport psychology consultant, you know who to go to.

Yay, JR! And yay Jenny too! (I know how it is to be the spouse dealing with all the stuff that comes along with advanced degrees...)
Congrats to JR!! That is awesome! The video clip is great. Funny how they totally edit it.
So it looks as though we are going to be staying in Prescott with Derick's parents for a while so Derick can do some more school (pre-recs for Physical Therapy). So if you guys are gonna be in Prescott, let me know and we can get together!
