My Baby Graduated From College!!!


I can't believe Peter graduated from college! It seems like yesterday that we took him to school. He had a wonderful four years at SMU, and I think he would definitely say that they have been the best years of his life. Billy and I are very proud of him. He graduated with a double major. He received an accounting degree and a political science degree.
He made good grades, made great friends, did lots of traveling, had LOTS of fun, met a precious and lovely young lady, and has accepted a job in Dallas. I hope Peter will always be as happy as he is now.
Billy and I drove 10 hours to Dallas on Thursday May 15th. We arrived with just enough time to change clothes quickly for an eight thirty dinner reservation at one of Peter's favorite restaurants in Dallas. Peter picked us up at the hotel and we met his girlfriend, Jennifer, for the first time. We had a lovely evening, and Billy and I enjoyed getting to know Jennifer. Friday, Billy worked in Dallas so Peter and I spent the day together. We had lunch downtown and he showed me where he worked during his internship with Deloitte and Touche. Dana and Jill flew in that afternoon, and our family had dinner Friday night with Jennifer's family. Another great dinner and lots of fun getting to know the Lev family. Saturday, was the big day! We started out at Peter's fraternity house, Phi Delta Theta, for brunch, followed by his graduation ceremony. Saturday night we had dinner at another of Peter's favorite restaurants with his roomate and his family. Sunday we spent the day loading the uhaul trailer with Peter's belongings from the past four years, and cleaning his apartment. Monday we drove our car home with the uhaul trailer attached, Peter drove his car home, and college life for Peter officially came to a close. As for the "good times," Peter always has a "good time." He came home Monday night and left Thursday for a week's vacation in the Bahamas!
