Graduate + Birthday Boy = Justin

This weekend was full of exciting events for the Drinkwater Family!!! On Saturday, Justin graduated with his Master's Degree in Parks and Recreation Administration from Sacramento State University! It was a momentous day that he worked long and hard for and we are truly proud of him!!!

Here he is being "hooded!" (sorry for the blurry picture, but he was really far away.)
The Graduate!!!

Our family that was able to join us that early in the morning! Thank you for coming!!!

After the commencement ceremonies, we had a party at my Mom and Dad's house to celebrate Justin's graduation, birthday (which was yesterday), as well as my Great-Grandma's 94th Birthday!!!

She is a sweetheart and an inspiration!!! I am so lucky to have such amazing women in my life that I can look up to, and my Great-Grandma Sample is definitely one of them!

Ryan and Nathan wouldn't leave the train...

until it was time to help Daddy open his presents!

SPOILED DADDY!!!

We had an agreement that when he completed his degree, he could get a PS3! He was surprised though!

He also got a shot gun he had wanted from his Mom and Dad!!! (We missed you Ben and Patti!!!)

It was a fun day!

Yesterday was Justin's actual birthday and he turned the big 31!!! He now says he's well into his 30's!!! We celebrated by going out to dinner with the boys! We then took them to a friends house so we could go to a movie!

Happy Birthday and Congratulations Babe!!! 31 years of amazing accomplishments and we couldn't be prouder!!! You do so much for us, I hope we were able to make these few days really special and memorable for you!!! We love you!!!
