Hi everyone! Sorry I have lapsed a bit on writing. Life has been crazy busy lately between work and other stuff that I haven't really had a chance to sit down and talk about.
Friday my sister Blair graduated from Baylor. I can't believe that she's officially a grown up and is already going to start working in her field. We all drove up to Waco to see her graduation ceremony and to help move all of her stuff back home to Crosby. It took about 4 hours of sweat and irritation to get everything packed up in the U-haul and the two vehicles. I love my Dad, but man he can get cranky during a move!
Mom and Dad left with the U-haul, and Ted and I stayed back with Blair so she could take some pictures with her roommates one last time. On the way to campus, Blair was very emotional, which is definitely not the norm. She's always been a bit of a stoic, so it was really touching to see this response from her. I think it really showed how much her roommates mean to her and the impact that her college experience had on her.
Thinking back, I don't remember having that kind of response to leaving Centenary. I haven't seen some of the people that I considered really good friends while there since our graduation ceremony (my S'port girls are the exception to this rule). The only time I really cried was when I saw my mom cry. Centenary was a great experience, but at the same time I was beyond ready to get out of there. I wish I had developed such a strong tie to Centenary the way that Blair did with Baylor.
So, when you graduated from college did you have a big emotional response? Or were you like me and were more good riddance than good bye?
