Graduation Day!

So guys I graduated from college yesterday...

that was pretty weird. 

Just me and my sisters. 

Okay Halley isn't technically my sister...but she might as well be. 

Carey Roommates Y2K12.

My dear friend Leslie, 

a.k.a. "Noëlle,"

French wouldn't have been the same without you.

Mom and Dad.

Aren't they just so cute?

My precious Sutton, 

my very first friend in college. 

Sweet Hanna Sams,

we've had so many interesting adventures. 

My darling Amber, 

you always put up with my craziness. 

And Anna, 

my beloved cow. 

These are just a few pictures from the joyous day....it was basically just one long photo shoot. 

It was a pretty weird experience, 

mostly because well...

I've never graduated college before. 

I've so enjoyed my time here at Louisiana Tech. 

I can't even begin to describe how much this place has influenced me over the past four years. 

I've learned so many countless lessons, 

some easy and some hard, 

but all with very real and very necessary purposes. 

I've made so many wonderful relationships here, 

friends, 

mentors, 

teachers, 

etc, 

etc. 

I'll never be able to thank all of you for all that you have meant to me. 

There have been so many of you who have invested so much in me and I am so very grateful. 

The Lord has blessed me infinitely more than I could have ever dreamed. 

I am one lucky girl. 

Ruston has been good to me in so many ways. 

I don't even want to try to list them all...

so I won't, 

because I would inevitably leave something/someone really important out,

and then I would just feel silly.

So thank you to all the men and women who have 

cared for me, 

prayed for me, 

encouraged me, 

listened to me, 

taught me, 

had fun with me, 

and influenced me. 

You have been a blessing in my life. 

Thank You.
