On Saturday we hosted a BBQ to celebrate Phil graduating with his MBA. For those of you who do not know, this process started months after Jackson was born, and lasted until December of 2011. Phil worked his behind off to achieve this degree, and I was a first-hand witness to the exhaustion he underwent to reach his goal. Many nights he would not only travel to various places for his job, but then would return home and work on homework. He would often do homework until one o'clock in the morning, just to turn around and do the same thing the very next day. He worked full time, had two babies, and managed to get his MBA. The least we could do was throw him a BBQ.
At first I was stressed about throwing a BBQ at our new house, I wanted everything to be perfect. Then I came to my senses and realized that as long as our friends and family showed up, we would have a good time. Why should I worry about furniture arrangements, decorations, and fancy food, when the real purpose was to celebrate Phil's achievement? So instead I focused on fun. Easy food, easy decor, and easy-going. Friends and family gathered, the kiddos played outside in the sprinkler, and we felt truly blessed to have so many come and celebrate with us. We really do have the best people in our lives, and I want to extend a big thank you for all of the support. I can definitely say Phil had a good time :) and I hope everyone else did as well!
