Half way over the hill....

Wednesday morning, my birthday, Griffin woke me up with my birthday present.  I asked for a watch but he wanted to surprise me with something different b\c he gave me a watch 2 years ago. A TIFFANYS bracelet was waiting for me on our coffee table!!  My husband is an amazing & thoughful gift giver.  He said, "All of my teachers had nice bracelets so since you are a teacher I thought you needed one too!"

Emily surprised me by coming up to school & bringing me flowers, cupcakes for my kiddos, & decorating my promethean board.  I have the best sister EVER!

One of my besties at school brought me balloons, a pan of rice crispy treats, & made me the awesome hat that the kinder kids wear on their birthday.

That evening Griffin took me, Alyson, & Emily to dinner at Copper Creek.  We had plans of going to get frozen yogurt after but were sadly way too full!:(

I am so blessed with an amazing family & friends. 

THANK YOU for all of the calls, texts, cards, & gifts!!

Diploma time!!

This past week we celebrated Griffin's graduation.  I can not express how extremely proud of him I am.  He has worked so hard for this, especially this last semester.  He has done an amazing job balancing a constant job, school, and a new family.  I am so happy God honored his hard work over the past years with a diploma & we are both looking forward to God revealing his plans for his career! :)

Griff chose me to hood him.  I am so glad I got to share this experience with him!

My sweet Grandma made the long trip to Abilene.  I love her so much & we were both excited to have her there. Griff's grandparents got to watch it through livestream!

My cousin Garrett also graduated & we had a big,fun family bbq after graduation. 

Thank you to all of our friends & family that traveled to Abilene for the BIG day!  We had such a fun time and love all of you!
