Graduation And A Festival

Saturday was a big day... we graduated with our Educational Specialist degree in Administration from Montevallo. Woohoo!! This has been a long year and a half, but we accomplished what we set out to do. Lots of long hours, dedication, and missing out on a lot of fun stuff... but it will be well worth it in the long run. Anywho, we didn't actually walk at our ceremony.. we did that for our master's degree and decided to pass this time. But we had to have some pictures in our cap and gown.. so here you go. Here's the graduate in our house.... we had our own ceremony and I bet it was a lot shorter than the actual ceremony.
And here I am.. woohoo thumbs up because I am pumped. Let the party begin!!

Now I could only find this one cap and gown in the closet from our other graduation.. so we had to split it up. Matt got to wear the gown and I got the hat. I think I have the hat on backwards... or maybe the hat just looks weird because my mind is so full of knowledge now... probably not.


We also worked and enjoyed the Buck Creek Festival. We worked for a few hours at our church's booth and passed out fans. Then we headed over to the Crocker's booth where they were selling some t-shirts.




Matt and I consumed a lot of junk yesterday... but it's so hard to resist these festival foods... dippin dots, corn dogs, ice cream, fried pies, steak sandwiches... delish!!




And look at this sweet family! The kids were such troopers for the day. Hope you had a good Saturday!
