In my Facebook feed on a mid-February morning
was a message from our firstborn with a one-word message ... "DONE"!
So very proud of our oldest who has been working fulltime from home at Hill AF Base and ALSO working fulltime to complete her Master’s degree in Informational Technology from the online Western Governors’ University (in record time, by the way, finishing in just 10 months which is about 6 months ahead of schedule) ... all during a pandemic. When she started this process, she set her end date for Valentine's Day 2021, so even then she's a couple of days ahead of schedule.
Gary planned a party to celebrate his wife’s amazing accomplishment at his son’s Warehouse 22 event center. He invited neighbors, friends and co-workers with an e-invitation then held his breath while he waited for any of them to RSVP. Not many did, but as it turns out, there were about 30 people who shouted “surprise” when we came through the door … and lots of hugs and congratulatory messages in cards and videos.
We love this beautiful and SMART girl (one of 6 who are also beautiful and smart) who is - and always has been - driven to succeed! She is well-loved by many – especially her friends and her boss - and we are proud of where she is in life.
Congratulations, Kelly Sappington Yocum!
