weekWORD: Graduate

Ok, so I cheated a little. I agreed to host, but already had something in mind to go with this week’s word: “GRADUATE”

We have been blessed this past week to celebrate our middle child’s graduation from high school. For some this isn’t that big of an achievement, just an ordinary marker of the process of a child maturing – like learning to crawl, riding a bike, and getting a driver’s license. E has had a bit of adversity in her short life and has overcome much to be where she is today. She not only graduated, but graduated with honors, and has been accepted into some pretty prestigious schools. She’s heading off to one of them in August to study Political Science and I couldn’t be more proud of her.

She is a true testament to prayer, patience, courage, and perseverance.

Now, for the “creative” interpretation part…

I had in mind for a while to make her graduation announcements something special… or at least "different” … so I did a little caricature (Lordy, I had NO idea how to spell that one!! Thank goodness for spellcheck! Ha!) of her E's senior photo and designed a card for her. I think she was pleased.  Getting it to print right was the most difficult thing about it!!

 
Yesterday I put together a design for thank-you notes. I haven’t shown these to her yet since she’s at the beach with friends. (Oh, happy days!) I hope she’ll like it!

So, how about you? Any interpretations out there? Here’s who’s playing so far this week. If I’ve missed anyone, let me know. Take a hop over to their blogs and see what they’ve done with our word for this week. (If you’re playing and just haven’t left a comment yet, just let me know and I’ll add to this list!)
