He did it!

Brad graduated March 27th (which happens to be our 5th wedding anniversary)from the Commercial Diving Academy. He is now cetified in underwater welding, bridge inspection along with about 20 other things. I am so proud of him! My parents took the motorhome so all of our family could ride together to Jacksonville for his graduation ceremony. When they asked Brad's family to stand he had by far the most people there for one person. Everyone had about one to two people and Brad had his wife and 2 kids, in-laws, his parents, his nana and papa, sister, brother in-law and his buddy Reuban even suprised him and came. The tears just rolled down my face and thank goodness no one was looking at me! It is so comforting to have so many loved ones that support him. Reuban's wife even made a diving cake for the celebration that was delicious!! Brad has already gotten a job in Pinellas Park (near Clearwater) as a bridge inspector for the state. It is a great job that not only pays great but he doesn't have to leave the country to do it!! He starts tomorrow and said he is excited to finally be "diving for dollars"!
