Graduation 2011!

     Graduation: come and gone so fast. I had such a good day, and I am not even sure it really has sunk all in. My family came to town Friday evening and we went to Chili's for dinner. Our plan was to go to the baseball game afterwards, but a huge storm rolled through. So my mom, dad, and brother,Cameron, went to Manny's for a drink and to watch the Braves game. Afterwards, Cameron and I hung out with some of my friends at a bon fire. We didn't stay out too late because 8am rolled around quick! 
Dan Cathy, president of Chick-Fil-A was our commencement speaker. He is a Georgia Southern Alum and had such a good speech. He said the 2 things you need in order to be successful are 1. your cell phone in order to stay connected (he preceded to give out his cell phone number) and 2. the bible and trust in God (Proverbs 3:5-6).I loved to hear such a successful business man with a heart for Jesus. He told us when our diplomas come in the mail, we will be getting a coupon for a free chicken sandwich. His only request was " when you redeem our free sandwich, bring someone who is paying full price." 
 
 Freedom is our schools mascot. He is a rescued bald eagle that flies across all the graduates on graduation. This was by far my favorite part of the ceremony. 



Graduates!

       After graduation, we picked up a quick lunch at Zaxby's and then went to look at my new apartment for next year. I am so excited about living there next year and my family all like it a lot. We headed to Savannah for dinner at Paula Deens restaurant called Lady and Sons. It was my second time being there and it was so so good. I may still be full from it. This weekend was full of fun, friends, family and faith and I hate saying see ya later to people. Luckily, I will still in be in Statesboro for the next few years. My heart is not ready what so ever to say good bye to this town or the people here. I have had such a great 4 years, I am so sad they have come to an end, but looking forward to the next to come!
