Graduation Season
has come and gone. It was oh so bittersweet.
Trav and I are so
proud of our graduates.
All of our kiddos
and grandbabies all drove down to Goodwell, Ok. To watch our Twin Fellas walk
across that stage. They both received their Bachelor’s Degrees in Accounting.
We hollered and cheered loudly for them.
Trav and I both got
emotional when they called their names to stand up for being the first college
graduates of the family. After the
ceremony we were greeted by many of their friends, professors, a cop, and the president of the
college. Over and Over we were told how wonderful our Twin Fellas are. We were
given praise after praise about our parenting and how respectful, smart, kind
and funny our guys are. We walked away from that ceremony on cloud nine and
just beaming with pride. We could tell
that they represented the Hammett name well in the Panhandle. The last four
years we all made some sacrifices so they could get this college education, and
to see it all pay off in the end is quite the reward.
The good Lord
provided every step of the way. And we are so thankful.
We celebrated that
evening and then we started packing them up and the next morning we brought
them back home to Texas where they were missed so much.
Our fellas started
their big people jobs that Monday morning. Aaron is working for a nice company
downtown Fort Worth, and he loves it so much. He is thriving and really
enjoying that paycheck.
Cam is working for
a company in Denton, and he too loves what he does every day and he is growing
and learning and is also enjoying that paycheck. They both are working for
companies who treat their employees well and have many great benefits from
working there.
Trav and I are so
thankful for the favor over our Fellas Lives and excited to see all they will
accomplish.
Than Our Baby girl
graduated from High School. It was such a bittersweet day. When they called her
name everyone screamed and hollered. We are so thankful for everyone who was
there to rejoice with us on this big occasion in our lives. Jazzy Graduated
number 7 in her class, and she earned some scholarships and many other accomplishments
that she worked so hard for.
We all came
back to the house and had a celebration where we were blessed with so many
family and friends who stopped by to take a picture with our Jazz and be a
blessing to her. Trav and I were blown away at how many people came by. One
after another kept showing up, and it really blessed our socks off to see how
loved our baby girl is. Jazz received enough gift cards and gifts that she was
able to buy everything for her dorm room and splurge on some other items and
still save to help with tuition.
That following Sunday we loaded up and took
our Jazz on a graduation cruise. We went to Galveston to get on the boat and we
stopped in Costa Maya and Cozumel. We had a wonderful time, and enjoyed seeing
our Jazzy relax and have lots of fun. She worked so hard the last four years
and she deserved to celebrate her accomplishments.
We also were
excited that Trav’s sisters and their
hubbies joined us. We all had a wonderful time and made some great memories.
Our Jazz was asked
to be a part of the premier program at her college and so that means she starts
around 6 weeks before the rest of the freshmen start.
Again I say
bittersweet.
But I know she is
so excited to start this next season in her life.
So ready or not
this is happening..
Trav and I are so
thankful for the season of raising kiddos in our little town. All four have
attended Boyd from the time they were in kindergarten to Seniors. We made some
wonderful friendships, some that are still going strong and some that have
dwindled down. But if I am being honest, we have no regrets because we have
made some awesome memories with so many. And I only hope that we left a lasting
impression in their lives. Seasons come and go and change for so many. Interest
change and we lose touch, I have seen it happen so many times. But it is all
good. I want to take the time to say Thank you. To the many who have listened,
prayed or cheered us on while we raised our little family in Boyd. They say it
takes a village, and we had a great one for sure.
As we start this
new season in our lives, I am excited to see who will be doing life with us.
I
have to admit, we are pretty fun to be around..😆
And it so happens
that we have a lot of free time on our hands.. lol
