1 down, 3 (and a little) to go

Brandon finished his Freshman year of college

(and 1st year of formal education outside of the home)

with a 4.0!!

(and, in case you missed it, 

he's also the Mechanical Engineering Freshman of the Year :-)

Congratulations, Bud!!

I am so proud of your dedication, and diligence,

your time/homework management, 

and your ability to say "no" sometimes,

to what you wanted to do,

so that you could say "yes" 

to what you needed to.
