You may all count yourselves among my heroes. Brava!
ReplyDeleteGood times! You look justifiably proud.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations all around! When did mortarboard art become a Thing? I'd never seen it before I went to my nieces college graduation last weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun night but graduating over 400 took a lot of time. I enjoyed the graduates and speakers but the theatre full of family/friends was new to me. A very unruly group. Once we were seated people kept getting up and going back and forth in front of us. One girl did it 4 times. I finally asked her if she was done. The school brass ensemble did the into music and people talked and walked all the way through it. If I had been the director, I would have been very discouraged. Imagine how many times they had to play pomp and Circumstances to get all 400+ into their seats....I must be an older generation who learned manners and respect.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Emily. You will go on to do wonderful things.
ReplyDeleteWell done to Emily and to her supporting cast. It is a well deserved milestone. Now on to the next great thing. xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to ALL!! Good work paid off for Emily and for her supporters.
ReplyDeleteShe did it; you did it. Congratulations to you both. You must be very proud.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, cake. And I love that backpack.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Emily, welcome to the next stage of your life.
Well done Grandma, you have every right to be very proud.
