    utmom2008 is "official"!!

    On Saturday, May 17th my user name became official. My son graduated from The University of Texas. I have a clip below of the fireworks show that is done at the very end, along with a pic of Andrew and the President of the University. My son was asked to speak at the commencement because he was the Student Body President this past year...it's a great feeling to see your son speak in front of 23,000 people!

    What an accomplishment ! Your son is who he is because of what his parents taught him and what you expected of him. It seems you did a wonderful job! Congratulations to you both!!!

    Congratulations to you and your son.Our kids do make us proud !
    His parents must have guided him in the right direction.
    Who knows; he might become our president some day.
    We need a few good men or women --that's for sure !

    Congratulations on your son's graduation!!! Those years still seem awefully distant for me right now, but I can't wait to know the joy and elation you must be experiencing as a parent. Way to go!!!!!!!

    Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
    And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go

    Thanks to all you guys for the sweet words. Yes, I am very proud of Andrew, and my daughter Amy. I can now say that both of my kids are college graduates. Amy graduated from TCU in 2003 and now Andrew is a 2008 UT graduate. Amy lives and works in Austin and Andrew has been accepted at UT's Law school starting in August.

    I think our very own Mister T wants me to set him up with my daughter as well. That would be fun....all of my in-laws being of the TCB variety!!
