Brandon Yost, J.D.

We made it!!

Brandon finished Law school and is now an official proud owner of J.D. degree.  Not only did he make it through but he did it with honors and received a special award for his work in Tax Law. I was actually crying a bit as the graduates walked in...I'm turning out to be quite the sap these days.  I'm so proud of all his hard work in and out of the classroom. He did such a great job at school, at work, and, most important to me, always made time to be an awesome husband and Daddy.  It's been a great, challenging three years and we've loved it. We've made life-long friends who are setting out on new adventures of their own.  I've had a hard time letting this "chapter" of our lives go: the people, places, and routines we've gotten used to.  But, we are grateful for the times we've had and are excited to see what adventure is next.  In the meantime - CT BAR, here we come!
Brandon's parents, oldest sister & her hubby (also a lawyer) flew out to celebrate the occasion with us.  They took the red-eye in to be here for Sunday graduation and then we had the whole week to play with them and show them our favorites in New England: We covered a lot of ground: a day in Boston, Lexington & Concord, 2 days in NYC, a day exploring CT, and a day exploring Newport, RI.  I'm pretty sure they needed a vacation after they got home.  Olivia and Ben loved having them here too...in fact, every time Ben goes down for a nap or bed he has to look at the window and say goodnight to "Grandpa's black truck" (the van they rented for all our sightseeing).  We're so lucky to have such supportive encouraging family cheering us on.
