It's Official!

Well, he did it! Brandt is a graduate of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette. It was such an exciting day. Not only did he graduate, he graduated as an honors athlete and was recognized in the General Studies College ceremony. One other athlete was recognized in this ceremony. Also, Brandt's coach, Theo Sliman, attended the ceremony. This is the first graduation he has attended for any of his players. We love you Theo! There were two ceremonies. One was a general assembly of all of the graduates, then they split up by colleges. It was in the individual college ceremonies where the diplomas were handed out. Of course everything ran late. We got out of the last ceremony and back on the road to BR about 4:00 and we had a party scheduled for 6:00. Katie and Ryan were ahead of us and I get a text that traffic was stopped from Gross Tete to BR. Still had so much to do before everyone got to the house and now traffic problems. We quickly started texting to push the party back and had to call Danny's brother to go pick up the food. When we got home, Katie and I took off to Sam's to pick up the cake, only to be told it wasn't there. They gave us one out of the cooler (since I had a house full of guest and NO CAKE!!). All in all, it was a great day and night. So many friends to celebrate with and support Brandt in all that he does. We are so proud of Brandtman and can't wait to see what God has planned for him in the future. Oh...and Sam's called the next morning...the cake was there, the girl "overlooked" it. Hmmmmm!!!!!
