GRADUATION UGA 2016!

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.

Ruck On!!

This is an awesome picture of Anna and a fellow teammate recruiting for the UGA women's rugby team. Tough ladies, indeed!

A House Divided - UK vs UGA

Today we had two of our children's schools go head to head on the collegiate football field - in Athens, the UGA bulldogs hosted the UK wildcats. Georgia won, but Kentucky did get some points on the board. Even though I would've liked to have seen more points, I was glad Mark Richt got a victory - he needed it. I know Rachel forgives me! She was busy celebrating Cameron's birthday, so I think she was oblivious to her team's loss.  

Sadly, FSU didn't prevail against Clemson in Death Valley, BUT...the Tarheels did beat Duke, which always makes me happy!

Athens is such a great college town; we palled around with Alex and Anna and ate some great food, gorged on ice cream, and then took a long, night walk through campus. Just beautiful! We saw the Richard B Russell Special Library where Anna works and the new Terry buildings where Alex spends much of his time. All is good! Go Dawgs!
