Graduation and Weddings

Well Camille graduated from nursing school this weekend and it was great! Heather and I drove in late Friday night and I got to surprise Camille. She thought I was going to have to work but I tricked her!

Saturday was a long and exciting day! After graduation we drove to Ft.Worth for my cousin Donny's wedding and it was so fun b/c I got to see tons of my cousins!! My mom's side of the family is huge and we have a million cousins and we always have a blast together we range in age from 39 to 5! We were missing a few cousins which stunk but we got to see a few that we hadn't seen in over 7 years. It was a sweet and much needed reunion! I love my family and extended family so much, I'm obsessed with them actually! I just love that even though we are all so different and in so many different places in life, that when we get around each other that doesn't matter b/c we enjoy being with each other. I love that we have this connection with each other like no one else in the world. We are cousins and we have all experienced the loss of a grandfather and grandmother along with an uncle who left this world too soon. I love being around them and seeing different characteristics that come out in our personalities that we recognize as Granny or Paw-Paw or any of our aunts and uncles or each other. It's fun to have cousins and to have a big family that will love each other no matter what. It's neat to see how the Lord has worked through us over the years and to see how he has continued to bless our family's relationships. Being around all of my family this weekend made me so emotional (of course) and reminded me that we aren't perfect and that it's important to keep family close and love on them no matter what. I pray that the Lord continues to watch over the "Southern families" and our relationships and heals wounds and mends relationships that have been broken over the years.

Now this week is WEDDING WEEK! We have lots of fun things to do to get ready for the weekend and I hope I can stay calm! I can't wait to see all the great friends and family that are coming in!
