Elaine's View Point: Julia's graduation

Hey everyone,

I decided I needed to get back to writing. My blog is one outlet for that. I kind of have a captive audience of family who will always like what I write! I have missed several events in the last six months, so I will try to update on those as I get inspired.

The first event I’m covering is Julia’s graduation from NC State University. I am very proud of her for all the work she put into accomplishing this goal. She worked at Old Navy and the JC Penney’s for most of the time she was going through school. Her last semester she ended up quitting Penney’s, but it was a good thing she did. I’m positive she couldn’t have worked and gone to school that last semester. She is currently seeing Derek, so I enclosed a picture of her and Derek. Jesse has remained good friends with her so he came to her graduation. We had the camera out taking pictures and I took one of him since I thought you all might be interested in knowing how he looks these days. I’ve come to love Jesse, he is a real character and fits in well with our family. I worry about him like he were my own. I don’t know Derek as well, but he is real sweet too.

There were over 5,000 people graduating at the same time as Julia. The graduation was at the RBC stadium here in Raleigh. It was a real zoo in the parking lot and in the stadium. Scott took the pictures for us.

After the graduation, everyone came to our house and we had a barbecue. Laughing would be the best word to describe the day. We were all happy and celebrating Julia’s accomplishment. Two weeks later, she was hired by State Employees Credit Union and she is presently in her training period. She really likes it so far.

I haven’t posted in so long, that I wasn’t sure how Picasa was working. Hopefully, the link at the bottom of this post will work.

Enjoy!
