Pomp & Circumstance: Carlie Graduates


She was one of 105 graduates, graduating on this day.

Walking across the stage and getting that hard-earned diploma!

She was ecstatic.

And little bro had to get in on the action.

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." 
Joshua 1:9

Much Love,

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

Wednesday Loves

Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday again!  Here are a few things I'm loving this week: I absolutely love this cute little cupcakes. I want to try and make them soon :) I'm loving this idea that came from Merideth .  Trey and I are going to make it for his first day of school.  I know his teacher very well, since both of the girls had her :) I love this Razorback plate from the Magnolia Lane Collection that I got me for my birthday! WOO PIG SOOIE!! And finally, I'm loving my grandmother, or as my kids call her, Grammy. She will be turning 76 on Friday, and I am so blessed to have her be an active part of my life, and my kids lives.  We love you Grammy! What are you loving this week? Beth
