Kansas Part 2: Graduation Ceremony

The main reason (besides the little girls) for coming to Kansas was to attend my older brother Blake's graduation ceremony from Law School. For the last two years (yes, TWO years) he has been attending Washburn Law School in Topeka, Kansas. We as a family are so proud of him and this huge accomplishment!! It normally takes someone three years to complete law school and Blake did it in two. He has worked his guts out and did it! He has a few 6 week classes to finish up and then he will take the Idaho Bar. Good Luck Blake and Congratulations!
Of course we can't give credit to only one person when achievements like this take a team effort. Blake's wife Breanna has been his cheerleader through it all. She's a great Mom to her girls and a great wife to Blake. She's put up with a lot marrying into our family but she's still accepts us for who we are. It was hard watching them pack up their home and leave after losing their little boy, Keagan to sids. They were an amazing example of faith and strength to us all. Grandma Sherri took very good care of Keagan's grave site in their absence and always kept it decorated on holidays while visiting often. We are excited to have Blake and Bre moving back to Idaho in a few short months and congratulate them both on this achievement!!
(Stay tuned for the post of their little boy, Eli Marcus, to be born in July!!)

Looks like you guys had a great time. Congrats to your brother. It'll be handy to have a lawyer in the family, but hopefully you won't ever need him. =)
