Debbie had everything displayed so nice.  She even had a scrapbook she had made up of our whole family.  It's beautiful!

Love how this picture shows how happy he really was!  This was his dream come true!

Vikki and I packed up everything and even emptied the freezers and refrigerators, so I could take the food home, since tomorrow we have to drop the camper off to have some repairs done, they didn’t get right last year.  

Our cars were sure loaded down on the way home ha ha.

I got home and Bill had the deck steps done.  It sure looks nice.  He told me TV5 was coming to interview him in an hour.  I quick got ready and he told me they needed pictures of when he was in the service.  I told him I sent all the pictures (even the one on the wall) with Debbie to where they are having the ceremony tonight.  Bill had pictures on his phone, but couldn’t  print them from his phone, so sent them to mine.  Ran two off, but then TV5 people got here.  Bill did great on his interview.  The Newspeople were really nice.  After they left, we got ready and headed to Frankenmuth.  The ceremony was amazing and I was so happy to see Bill honored with his diploma from Frankenmuth High School.  I loved how they had all the veterans there go up with Bill and salute him.  It was so nice that so many came out to the ceremony and to G’s Pizza afterward.  Everything was perfect!  I am so thankful for how God has always watched over Bill and has given him good success even though he didn’t graduate.  He blessed him with being on Salary at General Motors, Elder at church, Chaplain at Hospice, Chaplain of Trinity Riders and Faith Riders, President of Faith Riders and Commandant of the Marine Corp. League. Thankful that he chooses to follow Jesus!  It was so nice to see his dream come true tonight.  I am very thankful for Vikki starting the process for this to happen, and to Debbie for organizing everything and doing an amazing job in Frankenmuth.  She had all the right contacts.  What a wonderful day for Bill and all of us.  Sure do love him!
