Congratulations, Leslie!

The main reason for the trip south wasn't to see the ocean, but to see my sister graduate with her Master of Divinity degree from Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia, South Carolina. 

The ceremony was held in a beautiful Lutheran church.

 We got there early, so I had a lot of time to take in the scenery. There are some beautiful stained glass windows in the sanctuary.

 Flash photography wasn't allowed during the ceremony, so my pictures are a little blurry, but here she is in her cap and gown.

 Leslie also sang in the choir. She's the one on the right in the black hat. 

 Here she is getting her diploma.

 Yay, Leslie! I'm so proud of you.
