BJU Graduation!!


So hard to believe that Leigh Anne is now a BJU grad! Time has flown by all too quickly. We arrived in SC around 9 am Thursday morning, spent time with Leigh Anne Thursday afternoon and met Nolan for the first time. Friday was spent helping my MIL and SIL prepare for LA's grad party. Saturday we were up early and on the BJU campus around 7:45 am to park and get a good seat for the graduation ceremony. Daniel and Sarah stayed with Roy's sister as the ceremony was over 2 hours long. I kind of wish we had brought them along so that they would have been in the pictures we took after graduation. We went back to Roy's parent's home in Seneca, SC for LA's party. My parents along with Roy's brother Ron & his family were there as well as the Sheldon family...Jeff graduated too. There were 27 people present to enjoy some yummy grilled chicken, potato salad, broccoli salad, frog's eye salad, etc. We had a good time fellowshipping and eating! Leigh Anne is a third generation BJU grad on Roy's side of the family and a second generation grad on my side. She is home with us for a month or so before returning to SC. She's not sure what she will be doing, but is ready to "fly on her own." Seems like I am in a dream! I enjoy having her home, but know that she needs to follow the Lord's direction in her life wherever He may lead her.

Congrats! What a treat to meet you online. Our daughter, Cynthia McGuire, teaches nursing at BJU and was a 3rd generation grad on both sides of our families. You can check out my blog on Blogspot : LibraryPills.blogspsot.com

We were at BJU from 1967-1983. Dave taught history and I was the BJES librarian. We had 5 children born at Barge, so our paths probably crossed. Cynthia loves her ministry with the Nursing Division. She earned her Nurse Practitioner MSN at Clemson in 2002.
