Mike's graduation

Mike now has his AAS!!!! For two years straight he drove to Omaha ITT Tech(it's like driving to Temecula for all you Cali's) 3 days a week after working full time, sometimes working 50-60 hrs a week. He got his degree in Visual Communication and he is focusing on Graphic Design. This is his passion, his one true love (other than me of course!!) He graduated with Highest Honors for his grades...note the yellow cords. Then as a big surprise to Mike and all of us he was also inducted in to Alpha Beta Kappa which "means recognition and praise for those who have worked valiantly and successfully in one or more fields of the applied arts and sciences."

Being away from family it's nice that we have been able to rely on close friends. Tim and Kevin are in the Young Mens Presidency with Mike. Ted Rodewald and is family are close family friends, I call him Mike's Bromance. They can talk for hours and have a bunch in common. Right now they are working together at La Grande Excavation.
