The Graduate


This past weekend was a very special one for the Verdigets'. A much deserved celebration was had down on The Plains by both of our families. Felix had the honor of participating in the graduation ceremony at Auburn where he was hooded by his dissertation chairman, Dr. Charlotte Sutton. I can't tell you how proud I was of him while sitting up in those seats in the coliseum. I must have teared up a hundred times (pregnancy hormones probably didn't help at all). Felix's Mom, Dad, Gina, and Jason all came into town. We met my family in Auburn and had an early lunch at Byron's Barbecue. I offered him anything he wanted for lunch, so that is what he chose :) We had a great time with family, and Felix got some very thoughtful presents. Here are some pictures from his special day. We are so proud of you Pooks! I love you!
