Blue & Orange

The main reason we went to Idaho in August was to take Nellysa out to attend Boise State University. I still can't believe she left me. During orientation we were able to tour the dorms that she would be living in. She was so glad that she didn't have to live in the dorm that she stayed in during orientation. This is one of the dorms. There are two towers that look alike.
This is what a typical room looks like.
There are two rooms that share a bathroom.
This is the game/rec. room. They even have a piano.

This is Nellysa's room.

I made my niece, Linda, go with me because when her parents dropped her off at Ricks College, she stood in the parking lot crying and saying "I can't believe you are going to just leave me", so I wanted her to be "moral support" :)

This is one of Nellysa's room mates in the other room.

This is the girl that Nellysa shares a room with.

All set! You can leave now Mom.

Graduation

Meade Senior High School

Class of 2010

Well, our baby girl graduated from high school. She was able to wear cords for having a GPA of 3.5 or above, and cords for being a member of the National Art Honor Society. We are very proud, but definitely not old enough for her to graduate :)

Nellysa receiving diploma

The walk past her classmates. There were almost 500 graduates.

Graduation was held at the Maryland Equestrian Center

Nellysa will be attending Boise State University in the fall.
