Chuck, Catie and I went to the early Baccalaureate service today. The chapel on Hope's campus is all stone, wood and stained glass. 
Even though we allowed plenty of time, we sat in the balcony and didn't see her until after the service. If all of her classmates wouldn't have dressed alike it would have been so much easier!We then headed back to the hotel to meet the rest of the family. Dad drove up just for today and he was waiting for us.
The cafeteria had a brunch and we ate our fill of pork, chicken, salads, and desserts.Then we hung out in a lounge on campus until it was time to head to the ceremony. Chuck, Catie and I went to a reception for the social work majors and met a few of her professors.
Today dawned clear and blue, but not a whole lot warmer than yesterday. We decided to sit on the east side of the stadium to get the warmth from the sun, however, we were faced directly in the wind and it was so cold!!
We heard her name announced and yelled "We Love you" but never really saw her. Again, with the dressing alike! 
Finding her was easy enough after the ceremony. I was amazed how they can get through all of those names, speakers, etc in two hours.
We are so proud and so relieved that she is finally done!
Lots of family love all around.
