Mina chowing down during the ceremony.
The ceremony was nice. It was short, which was my favorite part. Mina can't stand to stay in one place for very long. Dru sang the National Anthem with a couple of his classmates. They did pretty good. Mina loved it every time the audience would break out in applause. She did really well sitting there with me. I brought her some little puffs to eat while we were in there and that kept her quite happy. She was so good! Dru not only received a certificate in Chinese for completing the rigorous course at DLI, but he also received an Associates degree in Chinese. Because of the credits he had from previous college attendance and taking some CLEPs at the education center that I worked at, he was able to attain the degree. I'm very proud of him.
Not only is he excited to be finished, but I am. There will be a little less stress lingering around and we'll probably get to spend a little extra quality time with him. This entire week Dru has gotten to go in late and tomorrow he has the entire day off. We're going to go to the aquarium with a few of our friends and their babies. It will be a fun day. After the long weekend with Dru, he will sign into casuals on Monday and get to do a bunch of "silly" things around post until we get to move next month. We are very excited to get back to Texas.
Here are a couple of family shots:
