We took a quick road trip this weekend to attend my niece's graduation from a small university in Weatherford, Oklahoma, that seemed like a high school stadium, the perfect down-home campus for Jessica, who is now officially an elementary school teacher. Congratulations Jessica! We're proud of you.
Here's my sister, Tracy, Lindsey, my mom, and Aunt Joanna. As you can see, it was quite windy, which helped cut down on the heat. There were a few tornadoes in Oklahoma over the weekend, but fortunately not where we were.
Here's my dad, Jessica's boyfriend, Dustin, her sister, Aubrey, and her dad, Jimmy.
Check out their ferocious mascot, an 18-inch high bulldog! The bulldog sat obediently by a handler almost the entire ceremony, out in the middle of the football field.
Here's where the ceremony of the entire graduating class of Southwestern Oklahoma State University took place, with graduates from each college on campus, starting at 10 am and ending just past noon. Jimmy estimated that we sat through about 700 names being read. We drove to Tracy and Jimmy's house for a small gathering afterwards for hamburgers, hot dogs, bratwurst, chips, sodas, and a delicious cake. Kelly took a ton of pictures, which I'll add later. But for now, here's what came from my camera. What a nice weekend and made it home safely last night.

You know that it had to be windy, just because it was an outdoor ceremony. I am glad that you were safe from the tornado problems, and that you made it home alright.
welcome back.
