Trip to Maryland: Graduation

Friday morning was Tim's graduation. All week the weather forecast was saying thunderstorms, so we were praying for good weather! There was a huge storm the night before, but the morning of graduation was overcast with occasional sunshine, and a great break from the heat! It was quite the experience watching what had the elements of a normal college graduation, but also great military formality. Vice President Biden was the speaker, so having helicopters with guns fly overhead also added a special element!

A picture through the binoculars. Tim is in the last clear row on the right, looking over his shoulder.


Waiting for graduation to start.



Biden giving his speech. He did a great job.


The new Naval Officers getting sworn in. Tim is in the second to last row seen here, just past the guy in white who is sitting down (he was here from another country in an exchange program, so he didn't get commissioned into our Navy).


With the new Ensign Timothy Steiner. So proud of him!


Tim and Mike. It was so sweet to see how proud Mike was of Tim!
