Michael's Pinning Ceremony
Michael's Graduation
Green's Gluten Free Beer! Hard to find-from Belgium
(One day Gpa and I will visit the Distillery!)
Well, it is official...Michael has graduated from Austin Peay State University. It was a crazy week, but we all made it through smiling =) We could not be more proud of Michael! He had his final assessment (final) on Monday and on Thursday was his Nursing Pinning. The Pinning ceremony was beautiful-Megan, Eric, Panama, Nana joined the two Cleveland girls to cheer Michael on-he was awarded the Sigma Theta Tau International Award (yes, I am bragging on him!). It was really awesome-of course, Nana says that is the best award! STT is the National Honor Society for Nursing and it is awarded to the student who has maintained the highest GPA and demonstrates impeccable leadership in Nursing.
Graduation was on Friday-it was a small graduation in comparison to the UCSB graduations our family is used to. We arrived 1/2 hour early with no parking problems (I worked half a day) and we got great seats. After graduation, Michael and I went into Nashville for dinner and celebrating with friends. We went to a wonderful sushi restaurant, the Flying Saucer, and stayed at the Historical Union Hotel. Amaya had a party night with her Nana-I hear they had a blast =)
The weekend ends today with the Baptism of our God-daughter: Avery. It will be a beautiful baptism. We are looking forward to a fabulous ending to a very special week.
