Laurie's Graduation Weekend

Laurie's graduation weekend in Johnson City was very busy and of course a very exciting time for all of us.


Jessica and Allen surprised Laurie by traveling this great distance from Moultrie to JC (and leaving baby Jackson) to celebrate with her.

Laurie, Mary Todd, and Erin hosted a barbecue picnic for.....................

.........................................................family........................



....................friends and classmates ( following class).............


VA supervisors.................


.................................ETSU professors...............


..... at this wonderful park where there was plenty of equipment for playing.


Bennett played so hard he only had time to eat a little ice before going on to the next thing.


After the picnic we all ( except Jason and Bennett) went to the hooding ceremony where we could not get clear pictures. But after the hooding the girls stood in front of this nice oil painting and had their picture made with most everyone attending....... with their friends Amber and Carrie. Amber told " VA tales" on each of the graduates during the program.
