Graduation!!

Jason Graduated today, from the BYU-I Paramedic Program! He and another student from his class spoke, and they did a pinning cremony where they recieved their Paramedic badge, and I got to pin him. Jason also recieved the Paramedic of the Year Award!! It was very neat to watch him go up and get his plaque. You could tell he was a little shocked, and I was very proud of him!!! Jason's parents were able to come up for his Graduation, and it has been nice having them here. I know it meant a lot to Jason.
This year has gone by so fast. I am surprised that we're already here. I am so excited for Jason to get to move on and get started on his internship, take his National test and start applying for jobs, because I know how much he really enjoys what he is doing. It's such a blessing for him to enjoy it so much, and to be excited for his career.
With his Paramedic schooling, he almost has his Bachelors Degree. He just has one more semester and he will officially have it. So he is planning on doing that online. He has also talked about getting on as a Flight Medic. He has already taken extra Critical Care classes in preparation for that. It takes being at the top of your game to be a Flight Medic, which obviously is the allure to Jason. He would work at a Fire Department, and work a couple of shifts as a Flight Medic in Tri-Cities here and there. Or travel to spokane about once a week for a shift. He just has to work a few years as a paramedic before that.
Well that's our life's excitment right now! We are finished!!! Yay! We're coming home-Washington Watch out!!!
