It's official-- Derek's thesis is FINALLY done, handed in, and signed off on!! It has taken three years to get to this point. It has been a LONG process with many sacrifices and numerous sleepless nights. We've had to jump through many hoops to get here-- but, we're here!! We are so excited! Now we can spend our weekends together as a family again. :) Official graduation is on July 29th. Now Derek will have is master's degree in Strategic Intelligence. Woo-hoo!!!
Derek with his finished thesis:
Being silly!!
This is the acknowledgement Derek wrote to go with his thesis. It melts my heart every time I read it. :)
"To my wife Jodi and our children; Brian, Andrew, Timothy, Kylie, and Philip who had to
forego many family activities because daddy had to “work on his thesis,” thank you for your love and patience. Additional thanks to friends and co-workers who continued to support and
encourage me throughout the process. Lastly, a most humble and heartfelt thank you to Dusty
Stewart and John Davidson, two of the greatest in-laws I am blessed to call family."
Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us/Derek all this time. We know it truly helped!! We feel very blessed to have been given the opportunity to make it to this point and to achieve this accomplishment. :)
