Weekend Rewind

Well after a long weekend full of activites, I've finally got a chance to sit down & relax (even though there is a huge pile of laundry sitting on the couch that needs folded along with a full dishwasher that needs to be unloaded). We've been super busy this weekend as we have just run from place to place & task to task. Friday we had college graduation for my sister-in-law, we had a luncheon celebration with her family & then headed over to graduation. She & I actually both graduated from the same school, so I knew full well what we were getting in to as we headed into the arena and saw a sea full of guests. There are actually 3 different ceremonies to accomodate all the guests & graduates so it was quite the affair. The entire ceremony lasted about 2 hours--I guess it could have been worse. ;o) She graduated with a degree in Psychology & then is heading onto Nursing School followed by getting her Master's in Nursing....I'm so proud of her!!!

Myself & the beautiful graduate, Millie! Is she not just gorgeous?!?

The sea of graduates & guests--see why it took awhile?

Friday night, we ran a few errands and then met some friends for late dessert & drinks at one of our favorite places, Fedora's. We had a great time & didn't get home until after midnight (which is quite late for us!)

Saturday morning we got up early & headed to a wedding--it was short & sweet & even included some minor mishaps. The bride & groom just went along with it & everything ended up being perfect. They had a great brunch reception, & everything was beautiful. The happy couple is headed out for a 2-week Honeymoon in Hawaii--I'M SO JEALOUS!!! After the wedding we headed to a local nursery & picked up a few things for our new flower bed. We purchased 2 azaleas, an Endless Summer Hydrangea, & 4 hostas of various shapes, colors, & sizes. We headed home & spent the rest of the afternoon pulling up sod, planting shrubs, & arranging landscaping rock. Today after church we came home & finished the bed off with a nice layer of mulch. I'm super pleased with how it looks (& hopefully it will partially cover up all the meters & phone equipment on the side of our house!)

The finished product!

I'm actually quite exhausted from the yardwork & it's nice to be able to relax for a bit! This week is no less busy than this weekend, tomorrow we have dinner with my cousin & his girlfriend, Tuesday is our 2nd Wedding Anniversary (I can't believe it's been 2 years already) & Friday we are leaving town with my parents to go to Destin, FL for a week...I CAN'T WAIT!!!
