Congratulations to Jeff!! He Graduated!!

He did it! October 23rd was his graduation. I am so proud of him. We had such a great time. It was a neat graduation in NYC! It was one of the greatest trips with Liz, Alan, my mom and Dad and Jeff and I. We got in Thursday night and the graduation was Friday morning at 10 a.m. at a Cathedral on Campus. What an amazing journey. Every time we go back to New York we will remember our time at Columbia. It was honestly one of the funnest years of our lives. Now we hold a special place for NYC in our hearts :). I can't believe the rush I feel every time I visit! I am so grateful that Jeff and I had that time to live away and experience amazing memories on our own. Jeff- I know that a graduate degree is a hard path and you did it. Thanks to you, you have set up such a great future for our family and I thank you for that. Thank you for the amazing journey at Columbia University. I love you!

We had a great time in NYC after seeing movies, going to dinner, shopping, and exploring all of our favorite spots.

We ate at one of our favorite restaurants after on the Upper West Side called Havanna Central



Thank you families for coming and for being so supportive while we were away! We had such a great time when you would visit. We loved to show off our little apartment, our favorite restaurants and our knowledge on knowing the "ins and outs" of the city. We will all go back again someday... but this trip was truly the best! love you all!
