Russ Graduates from Embry Riddle University



Russ actually completed the work for his Masters of Science degree in Aeronautical Science in April 2004, but the graduation ceremony wasn't held until 5 June 2004. His best friend, Chad DeNaughel, also graduated the same day.  Even though I played no role is Russ' accomplishment, I was still very proud of him.
After the ceremony we went out for lunch in Virginia Beach and then to the Virginia Beach Aquarium.  Russ and Chad were petting the sting rays (after having been chastened by the workers at the star fish tank where they were the first people "over 10 years old" who didn't read the signs and stuck their hands right in).  This was where I first learned that Russ and Chad are really little boys in big mens bodies who want to play.

After going through the aquarium we went outside to the nature walk.  This was the first picture we had of us as a couple that someone else took.  (All the rest were from Russ stretching his arm out.)
