Legally Red

Today is my oldest daughter 'Carly's' graduation in Cardiff, Wales. It was so hard not to be there but watching her walk across the platform in her cap and gown at 4am US Pacific Time after 3 attempts to tune in was awesome... She so deserves her reward BA (Hons) Law

Carly - today in Cardiff, Wales at her graduation ceremony

When Carly was 14 she had two favourite films (movies :)) Never Been Kissed and Legally Blonde. The latter she went on to watch SOOOOOO often it is beyond recalling - I still can not fathom how someone can watch one film over and over again, and still enjoy it - I think she inherited that from her dad for sure!

However, the films character as well as watching the antics of a young women enjoying makeup-shoes-clothes told the story of the making of an excellent Lawyer... Isn't it ironic that Carly is such an amazingly smart young lady, loving all the legally blonde 'girlie' things, yet like legally blonde - she obviously also had the brains to gain a Law degree and potentially become a solicitor/lawyer.

How Beautiful Lady!  Carly - July 2011 in Cardiff. Wales

Quick news report! Carly passed her Law degree she got  a 2.2  also known in the UK as 'a Desmond' after Desmond Tutu. She says quote text ‘It feels surreal, like I’m free with no burdens!’ Long may that feeling continue - you deserve it !!!!!! She has not had an easy path the last few years especially since we left UK in January 2010- and she finished the course with glowing results!

I am so proud of you Carly - not just pleased for the result but that you finished - it would have been so easy to walk away so many times but you stuck at it - Love you SO MUCH and wish I could be there to hug you - will have to wait until end July for a hug now - not long... x
