A Proud Moment

Hubby D and I just returned from Oklahoma and a great celebration for granddaughter ML.

A few weeks ago ML sent me an email with a big surprise.  She was selected the 2018 Outstanding Senior in Architectural Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. OU has 31,250 students and offers numerous engineering programs.

ML is a National Merit Finalist and studying at OU on an academic scholarship. To say we are proud of her is a big understatement. She is a great young woman and I am extremely proud of how hard she works to stay at the top of her class at OU.

Her graduation announcements will not only say she graduates with distinction, but that she also graduates as the 2018 Outstanding Senior in Architectural Engineering.

WOW!

Hubby D and I were very fortunate to be able to fly to Oklahoma and attend the OU Campus Awards Program where ML was presented her award by the head of the Engineering Program, Dean Thomas L. Landers.

On the day we were preparing to leave for the trip, ML texted us that she also just received notification she would receive a scholarship to apply to her Master’s studies she has already started. Money and an award – priceless!

After the ceremony ML invited a few friends and we had a great cook out at my mom and dad’s house. It was an extremely enjoyable evening. The next day, ML took us to the airport and I didn’t even cry because I was still so happy about the award.

It was quite an experience and a memory I will cherish.

And, it snowed while we there.  I haven't seen snow in several years.

In just two weeks Hubby D and I will be off to attend the college graduation of our grandson, BSJ in Jacksonville.  We are also very proud of BSJ. Then in another 2 weeks we will return to Oklahoma for ML’s graduation ceremony.

Whew – I am exhausted already. But it is a good exhaustion! Having smart grand kids is really FUN!

Cheers,
Brenda
