Brad's Law School Graduation

Breck's brother Brad graduated from law school this weekend from Ole Miss. So Mom, Breck, Jennifer, Randy, and I made a road trip to Oxford for the festivities!
Our first night there we went to one of Brad's favorites Taylor Grocery for dinner. We had fried catfish, french fries, and fried okra. They supposedly have great potato salad too, but I'm not a fan.

Brad signing his name on the bench. The seats, walls, tables, and even the toilet seats (yuck!) are signed by people who have been to this tiny restaurant!
Welcome to Ole Miss!

Saturday morning was Brad's graduation. It was outside in "The Grove," and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day! I had never heard of a graduation ceremony outside, but it was really nice!

I did not take any pictures of the other part of our trip: packing and moving Brad back home. Everyone worked really hard to pack up his apartment of 3 years to bring everything back home as he waits to find a job as an attorney! We got it all done and made the drive home on Sunday. It was a long and busy weekend, but fun! Congratulations, Brad!
