Congrats Graduates!

One negative side effect of having a sister with an eye for photography and the camera to capture... is that the rest of us become really lazy when it comes to documenting.  Sorry, but this is the only photo that was managed the whole weekend.  We suck.

This weekend two of my cousins graduated from college!  Mom and I swam our way down to College Station to watch Mary Elizabeth cross the stage at Texas A&M University, while my dad ran up to Norman to watch Scott accept his diploma at Oklahoma University (we don't hold it against him).  Our family is so proud of both of them.  I think sometimes, when college is considered the 'norm' in a family, it's sometimes overlooked as a relatively easy task... but it's not.  It's a lot of work, dedication and caffeine; and we really commend them both for going the distance.  Scotty is officially a registered nurse, but is continuing on with specialty school after a year of field work and Liz is crossing her fingers for a second round interview as a Spanish teacher at a local Episcopal private school. 
Congrats Cousins, you can now breathe a little easier! 

OH, wait!  Here's a pic of Liz... via someone else's camera.
