Bragging Rights

I am going to warn you that there will be some serious bragging going on in this post. You would never know it from the photo above, but these are two smart boys. Apparently they weren't smart enough to protect their nipples while surfing tho... but I digress. Christopher just graduated from USC law school at the top of his class! Yay! We are so proud of his hard work. 
We are proud of Mari too for earning the bucks and supporting him in every way while he studied. Chris is taking a bar course now and begins working for Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher in Irvine in the fall. It will be his turn to support Mari now! Maybe a grand child is in my not so distant future?

Josh graduated from The U of U and has been working for Goldman Sachs for just over a year. He recently applied to Carnegie Mellon business school and was one of only forty students to get a full scholarship! Court and Josh just bought their first house, are both working and now grad school! Busy times but so worth it! So congratulations Christopher and Josh! We love you!

Ha ha, Linda I think it's funny that I have to learn about my brother getting a scholarship from his mother-in-law! He's not so communicative with us. He just told us he got a good enough score to get in.

I agree with many points. But in some areas, I feel we need to be more aggressive. Just my opinion. Love ya. bridal jackets. Louboutin Shoes buy louboutin shoes. Modest Wedding Dresses
