Happy 60th, Retirement, and Graduation!!!

On Sunday, March 29th, there was a big party for Josh's dad to celebrate some exciting events that have happened recently in his life. A few years ago he decided to make a career change and he went to school to become a hospital chaplain. After graduating he was offered a position at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eugene, which allowed him to retire from his job of 29 years! Everything has come together in an amazing way and we are so proud of him for his hard work & dedication in achieving this goal! He also turned 60 years old in March, which added to the list of reasons to party! (: Grammie and Grandpa Lermo reserved the community room at their apartment complex, which worked out great because the room was filled with family and friends for the party. It was a very happy occasion!

Our boys were most excited about the cakes!! (:
Amy put together this display board with fun pictures of Dad through the years.
There was a picture taken just like this on Mom & Dad's wedding day almost 39 years ago!. (:

This walker was given to Dad as a gag-gift from his friend, Brian. (: The kids had fun playing with it.
