Melissa's graduation

Melissa graduation was on Friday evening and we are so proud of her. She had a few rocky years in middle school and we know how much hard work she has invested to get this specialised diploma ("Fachmatura" in German). The next step is a bachelor's degree in nursing which starts in September. She will continue working at the hospital until the end of July and then she has 6 weeks holiday! She deserves it :)

The next three photos are funny.

The first one: "Mum!! Do you have to?!"

"What! A photo!?"

"Oh, ok.......posing smile!" Melissa and Michaela (Michaela did her internship in Kenya!!!!)

Melissa receiving her diploma:

The graduation ceremony took place in the village church in Trogen (where the school is located) - some village church, eh?

Photos after the ceremony:

One very happy Melissa

 Melissa and Benjamin (her friend from church who also graduated)

I have never noticed a resemlance between Melissa and myself before, but after seeing this photo of her in that pose I saw ME! Wow!

I took some photos of Jordan today (he has a new haircut) and I'll see if I can post them before we leave for England on Friday. My thoughts from last week are going to have to wait until we come home!

Hugs,

Rebecca
