I took a bunch of pictures, so this is probably picture overload, but these are for the proud mama!
Geneice's family with the graduate
Jed's family with the graduate
I loved this picture!
Handing the name card
Colten with a friend--Justin Moore?
(Did I get that right? Someone leave a comment and correct me if I'm wrong!)
With Grandpa Owen--if you've ever had a picture with Grandpa Owen, you know EXACTLY what is happening in this picture!

When Geneice first came in. So sweet. :)
I don't know if anyone else was touched at all by this, but the words to the song that the Madrigals sang, I thought, were very fitting:
You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend,
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah!
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
I cried clear through it. I'm a bawl baby, I know. I blame it on John--I swear I didn't cry near as much before I married into his family. :)
