Dr. Wylie

On Tuesday, January 24th Jon defended his dissertation for his Ph.D. in Educational Leadership! His committee signed off on it so he is now, technically, Dr. Wylie!! We are so thankful to be finished and so blessed by all the support and encouragement we had along the way. (graduation coming this May)

Granna Wylie, Mr. Richard, BeBe and PopPop all came into town for the defense and a celebratory dinner. Here are a few pictures from "defense day."

The kids ran out to greet "Dr. Daddy" when he got home.
(No they don't actually call him that! But it was fun for the day!)

If he wasn't squinting from the sun you would be
able to visibly see the relief on his face :)




Later that evening Jon opened a beer and this is what it said inside the cap.....
what?!?!  After 200 and some-odd pages I think he's really okay!

How wonderful it was to share in the day that my son officially became Dr. Wylie! From day one I have watched as God prepared him for each step that he took to reach this major step in his earthly life. There is no greater joy for a parent than to know that their child walks in the Truth and that their child is following God's will for their life. Thank you Emily for being the help mate and wonderful wife and mom that you are to your family. Behind every good man there is a great woman! All my love.....Mom
