College Grad

My wonderful friend (and new room mate) Jessica Ann graduated from Bryan College this past Friday night! We have both been awaiting this moment for a long time. We are finally both FINISHED with college (hooray!).

Mom, dad and I drove to Chattanooga Friday afternoon to attend this momentous occasion. This was only the second year Bryan had a December ceremony, and since it was much bigger than last year, they had no where on their campus to hold it. So the Decemeber graduates walked down the isle and across the stage of the Tivoli Theater in Chattanooga. It was such a beautiful place to hold a graduation ceremony. Commencement only lasted about an hour, the room was beautiful, not too hot and not too cold, and the seats were comfortable. My only complaint was the lighting wasn't the greatest for taking photos. Of course I took some anyway. Here are a few...

Education majors wore blue sashes. Can you pick Jessie out?
