Two weeks ago the LeRouax clan packed up and headed to College Station for graduation weekend. You may be thinking to yourselves "WOW, it must be one important person graduating that they would be willing to take TWO SMALL kids to a 2.5 hour graduation ceremony?" We do seem like absolute crazy people to do this dont we? :) But this was no regular graduation. This particular graduation was 30 years in the making! This graduation came after a 20+ year marriage that ended in divorce, after raising two boys and seeing them graduate from the same University, after a year long battle and victory with a scary diagnosis, after losing a brother, and just a few months ago losing a father. This graduation was for one of the bravest, strongest, most determined women that I know and I am proud to have her as my kids Mamie!!! This graduation was for my mother in law, AMY FOCHT LEROUAX!!!!
What an amazing accomplishment!! Amy graduated Cum Laude (earning her the yellow stole) from the Mays Business School at Texas AM University with a Bachelor of Arts in Management Information Systems. She has moved back to Houston and will start a job with Exxon in July. We are so incredibly proud of her hard work and perseverance. It was not an easy journey but she came through it and accomplished her ultimate goal of getting that one very important piece of paper, her degree!
