Bobby Graduates from college

The Bates just shared: Congratulations, Bobby!!! I guess those wedding bells are sounding just a little bit closer- one degree down, and one to go! Hurry up, Tori lol!!! We are so proud of you, Bobby, for the past 4 years of hard work and excellent testimony! I know graduation is bittersweet- great to be done, but hard to say all the goodbyes! But I can't wait to see what all the Lord has in store for you next (and I'm super glad that Tori's on that list!!) #BobbySmith #ToriBates #PensacolaChristianCollege #BibleAndYouthMinistryDegree

Now someone did ask if they are engaged and they are not yet. Tori said on the family's I love you day that they are planning to get married after her May 2018 graduation so she has another year left.
