Our oldest graduated from UGA with two BAs - one in History and the other in International Affairs. We are very proud! She has worked so hard, and the hard work has paid off!
Ryan Seacrest delivered a nice speech, peppered with humor and wisdom. A great display of fireworks in Sanford stadium ended the spectacle, which was an appropriate finale to one's tenure at this fine institution.
Earlier in the day, we attended a reception for History majors and heard a great speech from John Parker, SVP & GC of Coke (who happens to be a History major from UGA!) He gave some encouraging words on the benefits of liberal arts degrees, all of which form a solid foundation in any life endeavor. I was very grateful to hear his pearls of wisdom gleaned over an unusual but illustrious - and very successful - career.
Lastly, we munched all day on sausage breakfast casserole, cheese-n-crackers, fruit, chips-n-dip, BBQ 1's pork and chicken (yum) with sauce, slaw, homemade mac-n-cheese, beans, and delicious cupcakes from Sam's.
An exhausting day but so much fun! We missed having Rachel there, but she was with us in spirit while studying in Cape Town! Uncle Walt and Aunt Renee made it from Concord and grandparents from NC as well.
Again, we are so proud of our daughter and look forward to the wonderful things the Lord has in store for her!
Psalms 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
