Ok.....so I'm not very good at this blogging thing, but I'm working on it.
It has been quite some time (2 months) since my last blog. This lack of writing is simply because life has been everything but lacking!
Spring break at the end of April was spent up in NorCal in Santa Cruz! A bunch of us stayed with some friends for most of the week. We went to San Francisco for a day, went wine tasting at a local vineyard, went surfing, and Bo and I went zip lining through the redwood forest! It was such a great time to be able to share our last break with some of our closest friends. I have truly come to cherish each and every moment with the people who are dearest to me.
Graduation was at the beginning of May from Azusa Pacific University! Those were 4 of the best years of my life with amazing growth experienced around some of the most amazing people I have ever met. The whole weekend seems like it flew by so fast, but it was a blast! Both of my parents were able to fly to California for the long weekend, which also meant that Bo and I got to stay with them at the Grand Californian Resort in Disneyland. We weren't complaining. A bunch of Bo's family were able to come down for our graduation as well. It was a great time celebrating a huge achievement with our wonderful family and friends around us.
Calli's high school graduation was over memorial weekend. Bo and I were able to fly to Minnesota for the weekend with enough time to fit in a bridal shower for me, her graduation, and her open house grad party. The shower was filled with delicious cake pops, chocolate covered strawberries, solo love song serenades, and many presents. It was a wonderful evening of blessings from everyone there! Then it was on to Calli's big day. She graduated from HCA and is heading out to APU this fall!! I am so thrilled to have her in our neck of the woods! I decorated her graduation cap for her...appropriately displaying our APU pride and colors. We were all so proud of her!
After her graduation we went out for dinner to celebrate. Saturday, however, was filled with yard work in preparation for her graduation open house on Sunday. As a result of a long day of work outside and team work over all, she had a stellar open house with at least 250 people at our house! So many friends! It was such a joy to celebrate the amazing woman she has become, the great journey she has completed, and the new adventure she is about to embark on. Bo and I were SOOOO thankful that we got to be there that weekend to spend it celebrating with Calli and my family!
So much more has happened, but we'll stick with that summary of the month of May for now. But you just wait until you hear about our crazy life in June!!!!!! More details to come on the exciting future of Bo and I. :)
