Houston, We Have a Graduate!

Eric and I flew to Houston last week for
my graduation from Commonwealth Institute
of Funeral Service.  

Once again, George and Nancy (my brother's in-laws)
opened their home to us and we had
a great time.  (I stayed with George and
Nancy during my lab week in March as well)

When we arrived, 
they took us to eat at the original Carrabba's in
downtown Houston - which was delicious.

My graduation was at 10:00 Friday morning,
so we got up early, but we had delicious
 waffles for breakfast... Yum.

All but one from my lab week made it to Houston
for graduation - Georgia is just a little too far away.

I graduated with honors and was inducted into the
National Funeral Service Honor Society

After my graduation ceremony, 
Eric got to play golf with George 
on the course from the movie "Tin Cup"
in Kingwood, Texas...

For dinner, George and Nancy took us to 
Vic and Anthony's Steakhouse 
for a celebratory dinner.
What a fantastic meal!!!




I'm one LARGE step closer to being
a licensed funeral director/embalmer...
My certification exam is July 9th.  Once 
I pass that, I can sit for the National 
Board Exam.  Then I have to take the
Oklahoma State Law Exam...


A little throwback action for ya...
