CCCB Alumni Reunion

The 2005 graduates of Central Christian College received their long-awaited diplomas Friday night and we watched as they gracefully walked across the stage (some praying they wouldn't trip)in their stunning black robes. Being an alumni of what 3 years now, I have sat through some incredibly boring graduation ceremonies in my day, but this year it was done in record time! Praise Jesus! I went to support some of my dear friends, Ricki Bell and Samantha Armstrong. They were part of the freshmen class when I was a senior (cool bunch of kids - my brother John being one of them).

The real party didn't start til afterwards at the receptions, where we raded the food line for some delicious homemade goodies. I fondly remember my dear friends, the Sanchez's, natives of Mexico, who's mom is an incredible cook. They would make some of the most delicious Mexican food you ever tasted! Mmmm...

Well, back to the point of why I am writing...the Alumni Reunion! I ran into a ton of friends I went to school with and here are some of their updates:
