Let's Celebrate our Graduates!

This spring has given our family so much to celebrate and be thankful for! Obviously, the birth of our healthy baby boy, but there are 2 other very special people in our lives who have made us extremely proud!
We couldn't be happier to announce the graduation of Dr. Richard Omar Freij!!! This May he graduated from Michigan State's Medical School and is moving to Pittsburgh this summer to begin his pathology residency. He's had a few weeks off between the two programs, and the timing couldn't have been better. He's been a five star uncle to Helaina and Zach. He's definitely smoothed the road for us during our transition to a family of four!


The proud parents of the graduate!

My brother Nathan actually completed his degree this past December, but on Monday we had the honor of watching him walk in the graduation ceremony and proudly receive his diploma! Nate worked for the City of Valpo through an internship while he was going to school, and he must have impressed the big men, because immediately after graduation they offered him a full-time position with the city. So here's to my brother, an official graduate of Purdue University and the City of Valpo's Project Manager in the Engineering Department.
