Becca has done it! Graduation Day, December 17, Becca graduates from USD with a degree in Business Management. Ceremony is at the Dakota Dome in Vermillion. I took this great picture of her before she went down to the floor to get in line. You look beautiful Becca!
Becca's friend Kaylani's father was behind us and took this good picture of us in the dome.
Becca told Bernie about the great dome dogs and he tried one. She was right. They are good.
Becca lined us with the other graduates on the floor and the procession started.
President Abbott gave the opening.
Speaker was Representative Kristi Noem. 
Hadley tried to be good but a girl can only be so good for so long.
The graduates proceeded in for their diplomas.

After the party, we went down to Leo's for more drinks and visiting. Bernie and I were staying at the Prairie Inn, where we had a really nice room. The next day, Sunday, we continued to try and empty out Becca's apartment as much as we could.
