Graduation Celebration

It is hard to put into words how a mom feels when her one and only daughter graduates from college. My heart is full of joy and awe as I look to the past and remember my little redhead running around full of hyperness and spunk... and now look at you, all grown up and strong. You never fail to amaze me with your spirit, strength and beauty both inside and out. I thank the Lord everyday for the privilege to be your mom!

Crystal received so many nice graduation cards, I thought I would share some of the quotes and thoughts from some of them with all of you. (Please don't tell Hallmark)


For the Graduate, the future begins today, in your dreams, your actions, and your heart. Never forget how much you have to offer the world.

Crystal had to wear the bling-bling shoes all day long. It's the look that counts..right?

You have you own gifts to offer the world, and there's no one exactly like you...God blessed you with talents and wonderful dreams for the things that you're hoping to do.....So, if you have faith and the courage to dare, all your dreams will be sure to come true!
