Graduation Weekend

What a great (and long) weekend! We went to Tyler Friday after I got off of work and stayed with my parents. My Mom got Lee a cookie cake and decorated for him. Everything looked great! My Dad cooked steaks and we had a really great night.

The cookie cake, I forgot how good these are!


The graduate and the decorations.


We woke up early Saturday morning and got on the road around 8:30am. It takes about 3 hours from Tyler to get to Ruston, LA. Lee didn't want to wear his 'nice' clothes while driving so once we got to Ruston he was going to change. We stopped and had lunch and about 15 minutes before he needed to be at the school we realized that neither of us grabbed his clothes out of our room in Tyler. It is 12:15 and graduation is at 2pm, he is supposed to be at the school at 12:30pm. He is in shorts, a t-shirt and adidas slides...........we are watching everyone walk into the school and they are all dressed to the max! Lee has nothing else but his nice shoes, I mean nothing. So..........we go to WalMart (this is our only option in Ruston). Get a pair of pants and a button up, long sleeve shirt. The shirt ended up being a 3 quarter length shirt on Lee and while he was changing all I could do was laugh! I mean we will remember that 'disaster' for years to come. But it was fine and graduation was a success!

Before the graduates came out.


Lee saw us in this pic and is smiling.

Waiting to go on stage.

After graduation I got a couple of good pictures.

Once graduation was over, everyone headed to Shreveport and we ate at Ralph and Kackoo's (really great Cajun restaurant).

We drove home after dinner because we wanted to have all day Sunday to relax. We got home around midnight and I think I was asleep before my head hit the pillow:) Sunday morning we got up and went to pick up Lily. She was really happy to see us and be home. She had a great time playing with Tammy and all of her dogs! She was worn out!

Fabulous Weekend!
