The baby of the family has officially turned his tassel.
This past Friday I dusted off a dress I haven't wore since June of 2009. The dress that I wore when I graduated high school. For some reason, I never wore other than that one time. Others also put on their Sunday Best for the traditional ceremony that celebrates those like our tall, handsome fella in a red cap & gown. Small town graduations are short & sweet. Quick welcomes & farewells. Standing O's from the graduating class for those who are most deserving. Back flips off the stage. Unique wahoo's when their loved one's name is called. Short & sweet, but still memorable nonetheless.
Sam's cousin (one of three that graduated with this class) was the salutatorian && praised the Lord's name with his welcome speech. He spoke so elegantly about how following the Lord can only bring bring good things to your life.
Tassels have turned.
We had to follow the post graduation ceremony traditions... of lots of pictures!
To the graduate: dude, we are so proud of you! We are so thankful to call you ours. Thanks for loving us so weirdly well. I have no doubt you are going to do great things with your one sweet life. I pray that you will be inspired by the work of the Lord && seek his face in all things. We love you, cutie!
What a great post. We really love your entire family.
