We have had the wonderful opportunity to spend the last 2 weeks back east.  We planned the trip around Marshall graduating and getting his masters degree.  We are so proud of him and all that he has done to get here!!! it has been a very intense few years as we worked straight through his bachelors and then his masters and completed both in 4 years.  The best part is that Libby won't remember Marshall spending countless hours studying and going to class.  I will but she won't.  Now we get to enjoy having him around more!  and we kicked it off with the longest vacation we have ever taken!!

so I will put up some highlights of our 2 week trip as best as I can!
