5 things graden

Oh my... I've been gone how long???

Poor Graden.  I never even posted his 5 things from over a year ago.  (Please forgive me, son.)

Here are some things about this awesome boy.

1.  National Award Winner  This was a cool story.  When he first "mentioned" that he was nominated for "some" award, I though ,"cool."  But, he didn't say anything more about it.  I later found out that Graden was unanimously selected by all of the professors in the college of health sciences as the nominee for this award-- a big honor in itself.  He had to write up a little about himself for the nomination form, which he did not want to do, but he did it.  A couple of months later, he was congratulated by one of his favorite professors who informed him that he had been selected as the recipient of the award.  Like I said, "cool."

He also was selected as the Kinesiology student of the year.  The highest award given kinesiology students.  Here is a copy of the College of Health Sciences newsletter that he was featured in... Again, something I knew nothing about.  A couple of friends in town shared it with me.  So grateful for them.  Notice his name on the cover and then the article on the next two pages.
congratulations, graden!

2.  Graduated Summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wyoming College of Health Sciences (Kinesiology and Health Promotion)... no biggie.

3.  Had fun coaching middle school boys and girls.

4.  Loves a dog named Max.

5.  Is a fun big brother for Shand and J...
