Well, it has been a while and a lot has happened: Graduation, Birds, Cats, and Travels! Here are but a few things that I have taken pictures of since the last time I posted.

Jack Daniel's Distillery!


The day before graduation, I took my parents down to Lynchburg, TN to tour the Jack Daniel's Distillery.


Belive it or not, This is actually COLD. The bubbles are from the Carbon Dioxide from the fermentation process.


Bottling Single Barrell Whiskey!


And this is how much can be taken from ONE barrell!

Graduation!!!


Well, Graduation was a blur (litterally). My dad was using my camera (which he had never used before) to take pictures. It was automatically keeping the shudder open b/c he didn't have the flash on. I thought it was a neat shot.


Here I am crossing the stage getting my degree. Yes that is an airplane on my head (FedEx 727). My dad took this. One of the ONLY pictures that came out. Best shot!


This was taken by my good friend, Aaron.


So here I am with my parents after graduation.


And here I am with Aaron.


After graduation, My mom took her shoes off because they were hurting her feet. Well, with her luck, she happened to step on some chewing gum (which was still sticky). So my dad is helping clear her foot of the gum. It was pretty funny, so Aaron captured this picture for us to remember it by (Thanks Aaron!!).


Well, after graduation, my parent's and I went over to see Chuck and Lou Carter. I got several shots of their garden and Garlic (Which I helped plant!).


The next day, before heading out, we were packing. We heard these planes flying overhead so I went out and took some pictures. These are five aircraft doing skywriting. I have never seen skywriting before!


They wrote "Happy Mother's Day From Geico". However I couldn't take a picture of the whole thing b/c it was so huge!


After checking out of my room for the final time, I went over to the BAS for the last time as a student. I took these shots before leaving. This is the BAS courtyard. There I left a surprise.


The Front (or Back) of the BAS that faces the Library.


I'm Home...


One of the first things I did after returning home was go and watch one of my former residents play Rugby. It was an interesting game. This is Sam at the Rugby field.


After a few weeks, I recieved my Diploma in the mail. I immediately put it in its frame and took some pictures. Here is what I spent so much time on!


Oneday my dad noticed that my odometer read exactly 100,000 miles. I thought it would be a great photo opportunity so I took a picture of it! She still runs great!


This is my oldest neice, Emily. My dad (Pop Pop) and I went to her Gymnastics recital.


This is after she got her award for completing the recital.

SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PART (For mom)


Well, It was my mom's birthday (I'm not saying WHICH one, but I can tell you that it was an important number), so my dad decided to throw her a surprise birthday party. She had no idea... Here she is on the field with Rocky the Redbird.


Since it was her birthday, my dad arranged for her to throw out the first pitch of the game. Here is the wind up...


Here she goes...


and the release! (note the ball is in mid-air)


To her surprise (another one). My dad also invited their friends to come and watch the game. Most of the people in this shot came for her party.


We also had everyone there sign the ball that she threw out.


Here is my niece, Emily, and a friend she made at the game (My second or third cousin).

Misc.


Well, my sister started to work at a vet. Oneday she came home with this baby bird that someone brought. We decided that we would take it and finish raising it and then release it.


After about a week, it had grown up a lot, so we decided that we would let it out. Anytime we went outside, it would fly up and beg us for food.


This was one of the last pictures that I took of the bird. We still have no idea what kind of bird it was. Oneday, it just simply flew off. Every now and then we think we see it, and if we have, it has found new friends with its own kind.


My mom also has a lot of plants in our yard, so I decided to take some pictures of some of them. This was one of the better shots. I thought I'd share it with you.


And finally, my brother and his wife were sent to Okinawa, Japan for 3 years. To help them out, my mom and dad is babysitting there two cats for them. This is Lexi.


And this is Max.

And finally, I made a puzzle out of a picture that I took last year. Feel free to put it together. Good Luck! (Hint: the solution to the puzzle is on my blog SOMEWHERE!)
