She was one of 105 graduates, graduating on this day.
Walking across the stage and getting that hard-earned diploma!
She was ecstatic.

Carlie's favorite person....Brent!
My parents were at the graduation, they just left as soon as it was over to get us a table at The Rock House, which wouldn't take reservations, so we just had to hurry and get there.
My niece and one of my nephews also came. Jamie had to stay home with Eli because he had the stomach virus.
Our whole crew.
We love these people more than they know.
What a week! Carlie had to go to the doctor at the beginning of the week because her tonsils were the size of golf balls and she couldn't swallow. Turns out she had a bad case of strep. The doctor said it was one of the worst he had seen. I felt bad for her but it did force her to slow down. She is constantly on the go! Between work, Brent, and trying to get ready for graduation she has been busy. She got antibiotics, a steroid, and was told to rest.
She still felt kind of bad the day of graduation, but was much better on Sunday (the day after). She claimed it was because she got to see Brent....whatever!
We are so proud of her. She worked so hard this year: juggling high school, a job, and college..then add a boyfriend to the mix. She has always been my most determined child and that determination and a whole lot of prayer is what has gotten her this far. She was accepted into the Baptist Health College of surgical technology and will begin on July first. For now she will be commuting four days a week, at least until she begins clinicals in October. The sky is the limit for my sweet girl!
One down, two more to go!!
"Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest."
