Cody and Kelli's Wedding Weekend

I'm playing "catch up" with our blog:).  Here are a few pictures I snapped with my camera of Cody and Kelli's wedding weekend, October 24th.

The red maple leaves were gorgeous that weekend!

Wedding Day!:)

1959 (I think) Chevy Impala.  Caleb was Cody and Kelli's chauffeur.  He loved it!

 Bride and Groom's first dance.

 Groom's cake.  Fitting for a soon-to-be mechanical engineer, huh?

 Toast!

 Father/daughter dance!

We had a great weekend and were glad to be able to celebrate it with Cody, Kelli and family.  Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Cody Bollinger!  We love you!

Graduation from the Women's Certificate Program

Today, I graduated from the Women's Certificate Program at SEBTS (recently renamed Biblical Women's Institute) with an Advanced Certificate in Women's Studies.  I've been a part of this program since we've been here, and it has been a great opportunity for me to grow in my relationship with Christ and learn more about God's word.   The program is designed for women serving in their local churches or for wives of ministers-to-be.  The classes were only 6-7 weeks long (some more intense than others),  so it was more manageable for me than working on a Master's degree.   I am so thankful for this opportunity!  

The graduation ceremony began at 10am in Binkley Chapel.  It was very nice and Dr. Akin (Seminary's President) preached and presented the gospel.  It was wonderful to be a part of this type of graduation ceremony...very different from my high school and college graduation ceremonies.  I've posted some pictures from the day, above, but I still need to figure out how to rotate pictures :).   The ladies in the second picture were a part of the certificate program, too, so we had some of our classes together.

Yesterday evening, Caleb took me to Ted's Montana Grill to celebrate.  We both had delicious bison burgers and later, a milk shake.  Thank you, Caleb, for celebrating this special day with me!  I love you!
