Better late than never.

I decided that for Christmas or my birthday this year I want to get my college diploma framed. Random, I know. It wasn't something that mattered to me when I was graduating from Clemson, but for whatever reason I really want to have it framed now. And not just any frame, but a real deal Clemson frame. My good friend Rachel has a really nice one that has a picture of Tillman Hall on it. I want something snazzy like that. I'm kind of leaning towards this one:


I feel a little silly getting my college diploma framed. I mean, in a few years our office walls will be lined with all of Matt's diplomas (minus his college diploma - he has no clue where that wandered off to). His diploma from medical school, residency (?), every time he passes his medical boards......I'm not sure what kinds of diplomas and certificates he'll be receiving, but I do know that my father in law (who is also a doctor) has about 7 framed degrees in his office. Maybe degree is the wrong word. I think some of them are board certifications. Anyways, all this evidence of how smart and accomplished Matt is, and then there's my Clemson diploma. It kind of reminds me of the scene in "Meet the Fockers" when Greg's father shows his soon to be in-laws the "Wall of Gaylord."

At least all my old soccer, tennis and softball trophies (yes, I played softball) are still in Tallahassee. And I won't be bringing those to Charleston anytime soon.
