With Beth's graduation on the heels of Alisha's, I was kept quite busy sewing. Once Alisha's dress with its 'Double Bubble Trouble' was done I was ready for a sewing break! At that point I had Beth's dress all sewed with exception to the hem and the neck finishing so I wasn't feeling too pressed. I finally got a chance a couple days before grad to measure up the hem so it hung right. I hemmed it Friday morning before company started arriving for the celebration that night. Before attending the banquet I took the opportunity to take some grad photos of my girl.
The meal was wonderful and the program was enjoyable. Beth was predicted to be a BYU art teacher that often visited Naomi on her ranch....
I'm not sure about the Naomi having a ranch part, but I think they got it right when they later talked about Beth writing a book.

Graduations are exciting. I love to participate in the recognizing of not only my own children, but all those who have accomplished a major portion of their education. In Burdett, many of the students that graduate from grade nine do not go to high school - so for them this is the only school graduation they will celebrate. Beth and a few others will move on. Next year Beth will go to school with Naomi again and I'm sure they'll leave their own distinctive mark as they move through school. As for me, there is so much joy associated with seeing my children stretch and grow that it is not really possible to put it into words. I love my Beth. She is such a wonderful girl, with numerous talents, interests and abilities. She holds a distinctive place in our home and family.
I am so blessed!
You look beautiful Beth!!!
