Graduation Day!

Today Troy graduated from Westminster College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. The ceremony was wonderful. Gov. John Huntsman spoke, and there were bagpipes galore. Sophy didn't mind the first half of the ceremony, but screamed louder than most of the proud parents during the second half. Her reason: they were interrupting her nap. Mom and baby were in the hall watching Troy on a TV as he walked across the stage. Grandma and Grandpa Gerber came to watch Troy and hold Sophy. We had fun! Troy has worked for the college full time while going to school full time and this semester started a new job, trained people in a few of his old duties, had a baby (with some help of course), finished his classes as well as a senior project. The greatest part is that he was able to receive the award of Magna Cum Laude at graduation, meaning that he maintained an average GPA of 3.75 all 4.5 years!! We are so proud of Troy and excited to have him home with us more often. Way to go Troy!
