Ha; you just think you are getting off that easy.
We ended Thursday with shopping and eating (two of my favorite things!).
Friday morning I was able to pick up my regalia...it seemed that others living closer to the seminary than I had already made arrangements to pick up their cap and gown on Friday so I was good to go. I also walked over and got a "cut" key for my girls so they could lock up their room.
Before graduation rehearsal, we.....ate!
Breakfast buffet at Shoney's, baby!!!

| Smile, Boy! Stop it, Momma. (notice shirts? luggage still had not arrived!!) |
Graduation was held at the Presbyterian Church down the street from the seminary. It is so beautiful. These pictures cannot capture the beauty.
And then the eating commenced again! Honestly all we did was eat and shop before my Saturday graduation.
The seminary provided a "picnic lunch" which we ate indoors because it was h.o.t. in Virginia! The parents came and ate with us and then had to get back to the motor home to let out the dogs (sing with me...who let the dogs out? who...who...who?).

| picnicking indoors...my kind of picnic! |
Told Grad Girl she looked like Rosie the Riveter and....
 |
| She's got it down, wouldn't you say? |
Showing off the campus to my family. Don't you love the wall gnome?
 |
| We might be related. |
This is the outside of the chapel. The kids decided to take a "cool" picture.
 |
| Yeah, we're cool |
Yet, there is always one who doesn't get the memo.
 |
| "Wait! You mean we were supposed to look 'cool'????" |
Do over!!!!! (notice the boys never break the pose...such naturals) Hello, Gap? I've got two natural models for you.
 | |
| such a fun family. I love them to death!! |
One of my all time favorite places to go and say.....Wawa!!!
Had to take the family there.
 |
| Fountain drink time!!!! |
We spent more time shopping. Luggage hadn't arrived yet. I refused to wear that orange shirt for another day, let alone my graduation so Macy's here I come!
Not only did I get to change shirts, but I received a "selfie stick" for my graduation gift! Selfies!!!! Of course, no one had even heard of selfie sticks until they were banned in certain places. Obviously they are not banned in VA....or we just weren't caught! Living life on the edge.
And this is what a selfie stick can do. Pretty neat, eh??
Finally caught up with my brother and sister-in-law and of course we ate!
Guess what arrived hours before my graduation???? We were reunited with our luggage at about midnight on Friday night or Saturday morning. Murphy's Law dictated that if I had NOT bought new clothes, luggage would not have come in and I'd still be wearing that ding dong orange shirt!!! Guaranteed.
