graduation^2

Congrats Lynley and Tye!

Last weekend we made the familiar 3 hour trek to Waco for Baylor graduation day. Both of the sibs were graduating. They were in different graduations, so it was kind of like "killing two birds with two stones"...or whatever they say. Baylor had 4 graduation ceremonies and we were the proud alumni there to see 50% of the graduates walk across the stage. Sic Em!

We arrived in Waco late Friday night. It rained the whole way there. But, on a positive note, we were able to stop by Spring Creek BBQ on the way! Yesss! In this Barrett's opinion, they have the best BBQ! Their hot, buttery rolls are dreamy. If you are what you eat, I'm in trouble. I can eat 5 in one trip. I made sure not to fill up on one meal though, I had a lot in store for the next day...

Not to brag or anything, but I have been to 5 Baylor graduations thus far. With each ceremony comes a little more wisdom. I didn't have time to make Aunt Kelly's famous pancake cookies (from graduation #3), but I did make sure to pack the snacks: nutter butters, wheat thins, popcorn. check! And the entertainment: iphone, people magazine. check! We were ready! Let commencement commence...

We went to Tye's graduation Saturday morning at 9:30. Had lunch with the Barrett fam at Mama Baris, which also has great rolls, and is a "must" whenever we are in Waco. Then after a quick trip to the Bookstore, we went to Lynley's graduation at 2:30. This was followed by dinner with the Nicholson fam at La Fiesta. It was great! And memorable. We seem to eat wonderful meals (and save so much money) when the parents are in town. Thanks!

Lynley graduated with a Bachelors in Early Childhood Education and Tye with his Masters in American Studies. Way to go brother and sister! We are so proud of you and love you both! Actually, after seeing all the great graduation gifts, we are thinking about going back to school ourselves. 

Meanwhile, we no longer have anywhere to crash when we make our frequent Waco visits. We used to have options, now that Lynley and Tye are moving, we are homeless (weekend) Wacoans. So, if you live in Waco and don't mind having a married couple crash your living room floor (particularly on home football weekends), let us know!
