Graduation Pictures!

Hello All! Graduation has come and gone and what a beautiful day it was! The breeze was blowing so the weather was not at all unbearable. Thank the Lord for nice weather! I had a wonderful turn out of people who care. I got so much more than I deserve, that's for sure! I appreciate everyone who helped me to pull this momentous occasion off with no glitches! There are so many more pictures that I have but this gives you an overview of what my big day was like! The decorating started on Thursday afternoon, at the church. Mam-ma, Mom, Aunt Kathy, Nathan, and Aunt Charlotte were all there to help me get everything set up. Thank you SO much for all your help, guys! You're the Best!


LOVE the balloons and daisies at the beginning of the walkway!
