Saturday, May 18th, was a gready day of celebration in Lake Charles. My Nanny & Grampy drove from Brookesville, Fl. My Grandma & Grandpa, Mom, Dad, and Joseph drove from Macon. Martha, Buddy, and Lindy flew in from Lineville/Atlanta. All for the big day.
I was completely overwhelmed with the love and support from my family and friends. It took quite a bit of time and determination to make it to graduation day. And I've been so blessed to have so many loving people praying for me along the way. I am so grateful.
Showing my family the diploma, I pointed out that when I began college at Samford, I would have never guessed that I'd graduate from a school in Louisiana. Never would have guessed that I'd graduate with the last name Griffin. Graduating from McNeese reminds me that God has a plan and purpose. Graduating as a married woman, could not have been a more wonderful blessing. Jarred has been an incredibly supportive and encouraging during the last few semesters.
(Thanks, Lindy, for being photographer for the day!)
Me and Hubby.
His graduation for his master's degree will be coming up after fall semester. :)
Grandma and Grandpa are such amazing role models to me and so many others.
Nanny & Grampy have such a special place in my heart (many good memories of Canada trips with them).
I look up to each one of these wonderful Christ-like grandparents. Blessed to have them at both my high school and college graduation.
Special friends on a special day.
Love them.
The Griffin family (minus David who was getting lunch ready). I'd say I have the best in-laws in the world! :)
Offically finished. . . .
