We did it!

Congratulations Dad!! We love you!!! You did it!!
Today Nick graduated from Thunderbird, School of Global Management, with his Masters in Business. We have has a great time in Glendale and have enjoyed all the friends that we have been able to make. It was a huge blessing and bonus to live with in 30 min (with no traffic) of both sets of parents. We are so excited that so much of our family was able to come. Nick's grandparents from Douglas even made the trip.

Nick was excited to have Owen and Corbin walk across the stage to receive his diploma. (All three did an awesome job, no one tripped and they all posed for the picture beautifully!)

We are so proud of our Dad and Husband! He has worked so hard!
We tried to get all the LDS students got together to take a picture.
Owen and Corbin wanted a picture with their Dad and their buddies Tyler and Joe.

Here are more of Nick's T-bird friends.

Three future T-bird students! (Corbin, Ellia, and Owen)

This was our last Thunderkids activity before graduation. We are going to miss everyone!

Brother Love!


Jaren has been learning to use his hands. It is fun to watch him focus so hard!

My Mom came out for the day to do some beading and get some quality time in before we move. She wanted to know why she had to smile in the picture, she didn't feel like being happy, she is going to miss us!
We are going to miss Grandma too!

Congratulations, Winwards -- I'm sure you all worked hard to get to this point! :) When do you actually leave for Puerto Rico?

Nick and Maddy Winward said...

We were set to leave the last week in May, but now we are waiting to hear back because they want to do a 3-6 month training in New Jersey first.

Congratulations on graduation AND on the job! That is so exciting! Puerto Rico is absolutely gorgeous. I went there when I was 17 for a few weeks and loved it. Of course, I don't speak Spanish, but it was certainly an adventure! How fun for your little family and oh, the memories to be made! Congrats, Winwards!
