The 4-year journey began on 7/6/2013 (bottom right corner of photo)
On That day: Dad and Mom and Daughter headed onto campus,
Spending the day moving her into her room at Ruby Hall Dorm.
When dad and mom drove away that afternoon, mom was tearful as she waved back to her daughter.
Dad was stoic.
OK, Actually I cried all the way home.
Here to culminate an epic journey for our brilliant, funny, sarcastic, loving daughter -------
There'll be Caps and Gowns and
Pomp and Circumstance...
Graduation Day at Mississippi State University!
"The Tassle was worth the Hassle!!"
Grandstand seating for her Mom and Dad...
(wait a minute, how did she grow up SOOO fast -- we're still
mommy and daddy, really)
This is the Basketball Stadium, with a huge 4-sided screen in the center.
Now the place has filled up!
Graduates-to-Be on the floor, facing the stage.
MSU President Keenum makes his speech, which is good, with funny stories thrown in...
The Graduates-To-Be listen attentively without squirming in their seats...

Is everyone ready for the next step???
