Mandy's Graduation

May 3, 2008

getting ready before the ceremony begins

The color of the hood denotes the college of the degree earned --
the white hood is for a Masters in the College of Arts & Sciences.

The graduation was held in the FedEx Forum
where the Memphis Grizzlies play.

There were two cermonies with about 900 graduates in each...
Christian searches for Mom with binoculars!

The program was a thick book!

After the cermony...

We realized that Christian has attended SO many of our graduations!!
He's been to Jacob's undergrad at MTSU, Mandy's undergrad at MTSU,
Jacob's law school, and Mandy's grad school at University of Memphis...

After attending all those graduations,
he decided it was time to try the gear on for himself!

After the graduation, we all went to the
Commissary in Germantown for BBQ.

After lunch, we returned to Jackson for cake & gifts,
and Sara, Josh, Kristie, and Phoenix joined us to celebrate!


What a big day!
