A Graduation!

Missy Tippens

Our daughter graduated from college this past Monday! We had such a special day celebrating her achievement on the beautiful Emory University campus. But the day was also filled with gratitude for our son. He'd been in a terrible car crash on Saturday on the way down for graduation. When we saw his car (which was destroyed), we knew it was a miracle that he wasn't gravely injured. He had what we're hoping will be successful surgery on Thursday. We're so grateful to God that he's going to be okay!

So graduation day was also a celebration of life and God's provision! We're so proud of our daughter. She worked so hard for 4 years! And she earned her B.A. in linguistics and psychology. Future plans TBD.

I thought I'd share a few photos and a video. Emory's graduation is so cool in that they always have bagpipes play as the students enter! They did it way back in the dark ages when my husband and I graduated from there (grad school) and have continued today. :) I'm including a short video for you to get to hear some of the music.








We're thankful for a wonderful weekend!

  1. Congratulations on your daughter's graduation and thankful as well that your son is okay. The same happened to my brother right before his graduation from Anderson; unfortunately, the results were not the same for our family.

  2. Oh, Missy! That's so lovely, the bagpipes... the glorious day... and a graduation! How wonderful for all of you.

    Congratulations! And I'm so thankful that your sweet son wasn't seriously hurt. What a scary thing to go through. God bless you all!
