Toby's College Graduation

Toby has officially graduated from Liberty University!
Friends of Charissa's loaned us their house so we were able to have a party for him the night before with his friend Dan's family. Norm BBQed ribs so everyone was happy! But when you come into town the day before, you have to settle for pink flowers on the cake and cover up the "Happy Birthday" with a big mortar board :) Alisa and Brady weren't able to come, but Charissa's friend Jackie brought her little Lydia to fill in the gap. Some of you will remember our exchange student, Juan Erazo; he also graduated, and his family was able to come from Honduras! Chuck Norris was the speaker (he didn't rapell from a helicopter or do any martial arts, though). He gave a humble testimony of how he came to know Jesus. After he spoke to everyone in the stadium, we headed over to the airport, and Toby's aviation graduation was held in the Falwell hangar. In the photos, we're all standing in front of the plane Toby learned to fly. Toby will be home the month of June and then head off to Officers Candidate School for the USMC. If there are buttons in heaven, my dad's are busting!
