Congrats, Brandon!!

Thursday night, I got to watch my baby brother graduate high school. I may or may not have shed a couple of tears, especially when I finally got to squeeze him after they threw their caps outside!

Brandon went around and hugged everyone in our family and personally thanked them for the impact they've had on his life, and we were all in tears. I'm so grateful Brandon has a heart after the Lord, who is so grateful and humble! I'm lucky to have him around! I had so many emotions watching him cross that stage. The speaker even mentioned Brandon in his speech. It's such a cool thing to hear other people talk about Brandon and how awesome he is!

Our Dad!

We LOVED having our Great Grandma Agnes there, she was the life of the party, truly. Everyone wanted a photo with her!

a new favorite photo!

Brandon keeps saying how happy he is in life right now - and that's all I want for him! I'm just so stinkin' excited to see where life takes him! I know he'll do great things, and we couldn't be more proud of who he is! Looking forward to a fun summer before he hits the books for college in the Fall!

We spent the majority of our weekend celebrating him with lots of fun, photos, and FOOD! More to come on that later. I hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Fun friends, good food.

My weekend started out with a little pizza and fruit... I know, kind of contradictory... but its what my church provided.

Friday night was for all the volunteers to come meet at our old building and learn the dance moves to this years sports camp songs. Sports camp is an AMAZING thing our church puts together for our community... we offer an entire week FREE to kids K-5, to come play fun sports, dance a ton, and mostly... to learn about Jesus.

Oh heeey Caleb, I see you.

After that, I literally went home and fell asleep, since Saturday I'd be doing a WHOLE lot of driving.

Why, you ask?

To watch my best friend GRADUATE COLLEGE! I was so proud of her. I still can't believe I made the nearly 3 hour drive there at 6AM, and was back home by 5PM... but let me tell you, that did me in. I took an accidental 2 hour nap when I got home... woke up to eat, and fell back asleep.

But lets back track... this university is where I spent nearly 2 years of my life... I loved it there. Isn't the chapel beautiful!?

I was so proud of her in this moment! She has been through a LOT in the past 4 years, but has been so blessed in her education and I know she will do great things in her life!

It was really fun being back and seeing a ton of old friends, too!

After this I drove down to Columbus to have lunch with Lynds and her family at a really cute diner...where I enjoyed the most delicious cinnamon bread known to man, some incredible tea, and the waiter finished our meal off by saying at "I'm not sure if you're a mother...but if you are, happy Mother's Day"..... he's lucky I'm not easily offended ;)

Caleb was busy all day Saturday with his best friends (about 12 of them) enjoying his last HOORAH being "single" ;) yes...that's right. It was his bachelor party. I wasn't concerned at all...Caleb is a fantastic guy and so are all of his friends. They went to a Red's game, then to dinner and a bowling alley... but I did get THIS text from his brother (also best friend/best man) around midnight...

It's fake, I promise.

I think Caleb just wanted to get a rise out of me... seeing as in one of his favorite comedies, the dude gets this actually TATTED on his face. Yikes.

Sunday was spent at church in the morning, and then my cousin's last soccer game of his season. Sadly, they lost...but when they are still in the single age digits, they could really care less. It was a blast.

Then we spent the afternoon with my grandparents eating taco's and eating fresh baked cookies. (What wedding diet?!)

Hope everyone had a blast this weekend and a wonderful day celebrating the special women in your lives!
