This weekend we celebrated a huge accomplishment! Jason graduated from USC with his Masters in Business Administration (MBA)!! It was a 3 year program he completed at night and some weekends. It was a program for full-time working professionals and managers. His emphasis was strategic management and consulting with a secondary in entrepreneurship. Jason did such a wonderful job handling all the pressures of school, work, family, church, and everything else while he did this. I am so proud of him! He is a wonderful example of hard work, perseverance, and success. I am so lucky to have him for my husband!
This was a long haul for our little family. Jayne had just been born when he started the program, and we're celebrating her 3rd birthday tomorrow. It was quite a sacrifice of both time and money to realize this goal. It has been so amazing having Jason home in the evenings since he finished the program. We just love getting to see him more. Jayne is so crazy about her dad and always runs to him as he enters the door. Luckily she was small enough during most of the program to not totally realize the days that would go by between her getting to see him as she's be asleep when he left for work and asleep by the time he got home from school. But she now knows how to call her dad on the phone because of all the many times she's called him so they could at least talk. This was a wonderful experience but we sure are glad it's over! It was the perfect finishing touch when we heard the Trojan fight song start playing at the end of the ceremony as the graduates left the building. We'd truly made it!

We had a wonderful time celebrating with our family this weekend. Thanks to everyone for their support, driving/flying the distance to come, and to Jeff and Judy for the wonderful celebration dinners! Fight On!

Congratulations to the whole family! What a great accomplishment! What a day!
If we were living closer (Arizona) we would have all been able to come out. We miss getting together with the whole Jonas family. Hopefully you don't move to far away.
