Gator Grad!

Although she completed all her classes and internship back in August, Kelly made it official when she went through the graduation ceremony at UF in Gainesville Saturday Dec. 16.









It's hard to believe she's already a college grad, seems like just yesterday she was going off to her first day in kindergarten at Limestone Creek Elementary.






Scott finished his Fall semester classes at FSU and met us in Gainesville in time for the ceremony. Kelly's boyfriend Bill Black was also there.


She started out at Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, got her AA degree, transferred to UF and finished her degree in 4 years. Many of her classmates are far from done and few were able to get into UF. The Univ. of Florida has become an upper echelon public school, with very demanding academic standards. The value of her degree will only increase over time.

Now she's off into the working world with a "real job" at the PGA of America. She loves her new job and is expected to do a lot of traveling for the PGA in 2007. We're very happy for her and very proud of her accomplishments.

She's also now a member of the Florida "Gator Nation", and like all Gators is looking forward to seeing Florida crowned college football national champs on Jan 8. GO GATORS !!!

Congratulations! Kelly worked had to achieve this result. Time has galloped along, and seems to be going faster all the time. Moe and Grampa
 
Thanks Dad & Moe. Kelly learned along the way how to get organized and stay focused on priorities. Good skills for life. You're right, the older we get the faster time seems to go by, doesn't it? It makes you realize how important it is to make the most of the time you have. We're glad we were able to be there with her.
 
Congratulations to Kelly, we are all very proud of her! She worked hard all the way through and earned the honor. She is probably (with that great job) finding that the real world is even better!
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words! I'm really glad that it's all over! Hope you all had a great Christmas and I hope you have a Happy New Year! Hope to see you in 2007!

XOXO
- Kelly
