I have a college graduate!!!!!
This was a great week! lots of celebrating and tons of fun!!!!
Sunday
Today was crazy busy. We had to rush out of church and head to Conway about 30 minutes from LR. We met my BF and her kids for lunch before we quickly headed over to the auditorium on the UCA campus. There Jared had his Youth Symphony concert....which of course was awesome!!!
Kind of a busy Mother's Day...
Monday
Tonight I hosted a going away party for my wonderful friend and neighbor, Dena (in the pink dress). we are all so sad to see her move away, but thankful that we will always have her for our friend!!!
Tuesday
Tonight was honors night for our high school. It's a great time to celebrate all the hard work that these kids have done....and it's amazing....7 National merit finalists in a senior class of 100!!
Jared won most Outstanding Band Student!!!
So proud of him!
Wednesday
These are my sweet bible study friends!!
Today we finished our study on Jonah and then all went out to lunch together.
Thursday
We drove 8.5 hours today to Abilene for Alyssa's graduation.
My parents drove in from AZ and Steve's mom flew in from KS. So happy to have everyone today......but geez do I look like I spent all day driving or what?!!
who cares! I am so happy to see my daughter! :)
Friday
So we had a lot of free time. We met Alyssa in the morning to give the grandparents a tour of the campus and her house. After lunch a few of us went to the local zoo...it was a gorgeous day for that!!
seriously...how do they do that?!!! It was so windy out and they were swaying back a forth but never put the other foot down....crazy!
Alyssa, Jared and my mom
ok, there has to be a funny comment about that tongue.....but I am so tired and I got nothin'!!!
After grad rehearsal for Steve and Alyssa we all went out to dinner at a local steak house!
Saturday
Walking out with her dad.
Alyssa chose her dad to be part of the ceremony. He escorted her in, hooded her and escorted her out...as a graduate!!

Congratulations to Alyssa and her great accomplishment. You had a busy week and I hope you can rest some this coming week.
Never saw a graduation ceremony with escorts like that. Pretty neat.

What a busy but fabulous week! Hoping you are getting time to rest/recover this week :)
The closest we'll be to you is Arizona and Colorado. We'll be participating in a missions conference at a church in the Phoenix area toward the end of October, and then we'll head to Denver and Colorado Springs the last week of October to visit friends and family. I would so love to meet you but doesn't look like it will happen this time -- unless you happen to be coming up to the Indiana area? :)
