First Wedding of the Summer

Last Saturday I had the blessing of doing the hair for one of my friend's weddings. I was originally only supposed to do the bride's hair, but this ended up turning into her hair and two of the bridesmaids along with her make up, the two bridesmaids' makeup and her mom's. It was quite fun! The wedding was beautiful and so much fun to be a part of! The reception was unlike any that I have ever been to either. All of the wedding party members gave speeches, they had 6 'specialty' dances... first dance, father/daughter, mother/son, wedding party, siblings, and married couples... they also had the dollar dance after that as well! I ALMOST caught the bouquet (which I never have) but Matt caught the garter (there were only like 3 guys). The dance was SOO much fun and it was great to be with all of my UNI friends one last time before the summer!

Georgia!

We (my parents, grandpa, and I) are currently in Atlanta, Georgia for Matthew's graduation from college. I am super excited about being here to support him for this event! We got here yesterday (Thursday) and hung out a bit and then I went to visit a few of my friends from this past summer while my parents visited some high school friends and Matthew and Papa just hung out! Then today the 'adults' went to some programs for Matthew while I continued to enjoy my young days of no responsibility with my friends. Then tonight we all had some good home cooked dinner and are settling into bed now. Matthew graduates tomorrow and then we are going to Mary Poppins at the Fox theater (so kinda like Broadway) here in Atlanta for Mother's Day. (Shhh... it's a surprise but I don't think mom will read this before then.) Then tomorrow night Matthew is having a joint graduation party with two of his good friends and we are also helping move him out of the fraternity.

I am so proud of Matthew and how hard he has worked in his college years. He is graduating top of his graduating class within his college and has made such an impact on campus. As we walk around and see how he interacts with all the people around him, you can see how much he loves everyone and how much they respect and enjoy him as well! He is a wonderful brother with such a heart and I am so proud of him!

Way to go Matthew, Tech Grad of '10!

Almost there...

I only have 3 finals left and then I am DONE!!! Wahoo! Come on Summer...
