Congrats, Grad!

Whew. Billy made it. Congratulations to the graduating class of 2013!

Thank you to everyone who came to share in the special weekend with Billy and for coming to his open house! Special thanks to those who traveled significant distances for him and another thank you to Aunt Peggy and Ross for staying with us this weekend! :) Amidst the stress of it all (well, I won't claim much of the stress...that goes to Mom), we (I will again not speak for Mom) really enjoyed the weekend.

Thank you also for the prayers and support as Billy moves on from high school into his future. We are pleased that he made the decision to serve the Lord and trust that God will guide him going forward. Nobody knows what lies in the future, but we can be comforted in knowing that there is no need to worry when we are following an almighty God!

Enjoy the pictures!

Sunday Graduation Ceremony

Yeah. We were happy to be there. Here we are waiting for them to get the heat up to the perfect ceremonial temperature. (150 degrees; not sure who set that standard).

Senior boys acapella ensemble. Billy, Ryan, Andrew, Jared, Caleb, Nick.

Senior choir members singing.

Mrs. Carter had a wonderful message!

Billy gets the official handshake and document.

They had a rather comical diploma mix-up. I thought it was noteworthy enough to post.

Have a good week!
