Jackie's Graduation from SHSU

Friday, December 16th we attended the commencement ceremonies at the Bernard G Johnson coliseum on the campus of Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX.

Jackie was among the graduates of the College of Education and the College of Fine Arts and Mass Communications. Jackie received her Bachelors of Music degree and graduated with the academic honor of Magna Cum Laude.  Way to go Jackie!  All of your hard work and dedication has paid off!

Following graduation, we all went to Jill & Josh's for some appetizers and to watch the recording of the football game between SHSU and Montana. Sam Houston defeated Montana 31-28. With this victory the SHSU bearkats are on to the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) national title game on January 7th, in Frisco. The top-ranked bearkats will face the winner of the semi-final game on Saturday (#2 North Dakota State or #3 Georgia Southern).  So Doug & I will look forward to seeing at the kids come home to attend the championship game at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco,TX.
