The Graduate

Yesterday was a proud day.  Our youngest graduated with honors (there were so many times we didn't think he'd make it through K-12!!).  Political Science major with 2 minors.  We are so proud of him.  He's on the hunt for a job for a year or two before graduate school -- excited to see where life takes him!

The graduation was in the morning.  Bingo was fun, but with no student speakers, it was a bust for actual B.I.N.G.O.  I "won" since I have three lines with 4 ... just couldn't get a 5th! We had a take-out lunch on our deck with a couple bottles of bubbles.  Followed immediately by a day-drinking/food coma.  Dinner out with the 5 of us and it was a fun night - laughing, celebrating, excited for the trip.  PS the gag gifts his brother and girlfriend gave him were so funny (but the real gifts were super generous)

Today is all things PACKING!  It shouldn't be horrible.  I have most of it listed out and some things already gathered.  We travel to Europe in the spring with carry-ons only.  It makes travel so much easier.  Spring clothes are light and easy to pack.  If I go away for the weekend, I need a 50 lb checked bag, roller carry-on and a big purse LOL - I'm the queen of overpack.  This is my ONLY packing pride moment so I tell EVERYONE!!!

I'm getting powder SNS on my nails today.  Will see if I regret it.  I need polish to stay on the entire trip and that's the only type that will.  It feels weird and thick.

This is a quick hello.  Lots to do.  Fingers crossed for safe travels (if you never hear from me again ... my travel nerves are running amuck LOL).  But, assuming all is well, see in a couple of weeks.  Later gators.
