Kenny's Last Class - EVER!

It's been a busy week for Kenny with the new job, and tonight is his final class for his Master's program! After 5 years of school, we are so excited to have this finally over!

We got married during our second semester of our freshman year of college (we dropped out and moved to Mesa, and both started working full time). After a few years, we knew he needed to go back to school at some point, but since we already had 2 kids, he also needed to work full time so UOP was the only way we knew how to make it work. My brother was an enrollment counselor, so he helped us get started. Kenny started school May of 2003 and has basically been going non-stop (year-round) ever since.

When Kenny started he only had 9 credit hours completed, so he had to do ALL of his bachelors degree and while he was in school they changed the requirements for the CPA program, requiring extra credit hours beyond your bachelors (essentially requiring you to get your master's degree) before taking the CPA exam. He graduated with his bachelor's last April, then started his Master's in May.

His graduation ceremony won't be until November (one of the crappy parts of UOP) so we will be having a party then, but we are just so proud of him and grateful for all his hard work and dedication for our family! He has worked so hard for this accomplishment! Next up is preparing for the CPA exam.

CONGRATULATIONS KENNY!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
