Jarrett's Doctoral Graduation

Keepin' it classy with the shades!
Whoo Hoo! Graduation time finally arrived it was a gorgeous day overlooking the Pacific Ocean at our old home-sweet-home, Pepperdine! It was a blast hanging out with the extended family as we celebrated Jarrett's huge accomplishment.
It was a warm and bright day, and these cousins had a blast entertaining each other during the ceremony.


There it is!! The "book" as we fondly have been referring to it.. 200+ pages of  APA formatted goodness. 

Girls were yelling, "Hi Daddy! That's my Daddy up there!"

Waiting for his turn to be hooded...
The shots I got of the actual hooding process were blocked, but heard later that President Benton remembered working with him a few years back and gave Jarrett a big hug and said "Welcome Back, Congratulations Dr. Fisher!"


The girls made a beeline straight for their Daddy after the ceremony, and we got pictures with the family who have encouraged and cheered him along through this journey.

To the Dr....
Wow! I can't believe it's finally done. I am in awe of the YEARS of dedication, endless requirements and hurdles you went through to achieve the goal of becoming Dr. Fisher. Your humble character, attention to detail and integrity are traits I deeply respect, and shine through in your writing and work. Thank you for working so hard for our family and our futures! As your wife, prayer warrior and best friend it has been an honor to walk with you through the highs and lows of this journey. My own faith has grown stronger year by year as I've witnessed countless prayers answered and doors opened in ways only our mighty God can do. I am so, so proud of you and can only imagine the ways you will use your many gifts to bring glory to our King. I love you always, K xo
