This weekend my baby sister (she's my only sibling but I like to call her "baby" anyway) officially joined the elite group of individuals known as Florida State University Alumni. Now, I talk a big game about the horrific idea of sitting through a college graduation, mostly because there's about 2500 people and it takes 3 hours. I mean, I didn't go to mine, so why would I subject myself to that for someone else's glory? However, since she made the smart decision to be a Psychology major, and they graduate on Friday night instead of Saturday morning, I was there for her. (: I actually surprised myself by having a good time. Since, as I mentioned, I didn't actually "walk" in my graduation (please, College of Business graduates on said Saturday morning at 8:00AM...no, thank you) it was as if I was living vicariously through her pomp and circumstance. All the academia can really go to your head. I've started having thoughts of getting a Masters degree and even a Doctorate because they get those sweet hoods! Who are we kidding? Anyway, with the family in town it was a big party.
Sitting on our front porch. She's pretty.
The spread.
Because THIS is what makes the boys wanna holler. (:
Amanda Leigh with our parents.
We came. We conquered.
This picture makes me laugh. Not only because I think it was my first time actually getting in that proverbial fountain, but because we clearly didn't need to pull up our skirts that high.

Amanda GRADUATED? Wow, talk about time flying. I feel like it was just yesterday that y'all were moving in together and she was a freshman. Dang.
And yes, the masters/doctorate hoods are sexy. BUt you don't get to wear them every day. So is it worth about $50K in student loans and a ton of work just to wear a really cool hood for 1 day? Stuff to think about.
I'm so stoked about San Antonio I can't even stand it.
We GOTTA talk soon and get hotel/dates/airlines taken care of. Important b/c plane tix will get more expensive the longer we wait.
