Mom Graduates

Last night my mom graduated from Black River Technical College with an AA in Business administration (something or another). We all met at Bonanza at 5:00 to eat dinner, which my grandfather paid for, then we all went over to the college to find a seat and cheer mom on when she walked across the stage. There were eleven of us present, plus a couple more from our church because Jennifer was graduating too. My mom ended up receiving a departmental award also...which was cool. This has been a long time coming, and my mom's first graduation ever (she did not graduate from high school)...it was a major milestone in her life, as well as ours. Riley and I helped her study for her GED classes when we were little, helped her with homework in college, and then had the opportunity to watch her graduate last night. (Way to go MOM!!)

Side note: Warning to anyone that will be traveling through Pocahontas, AR, DO NOT EAT AT BONANZA. It was great fellowship, but left a lot to be desired as far as food went.
