One, graduated from Arizona State University.The other, turned 30!
I had made plans in March to fly to Arizona to help Katelynn celebrate graduating from ASU. She worked so hard and it all paid off. I couldn't miss this milestone! With April-August being our busy time at work, I wasn't going to be able to make it to the actual ceremony, but would fly out the day of the party and spend a good 30 hours in Arizona.
Some last minute changes in the work schedule made it possible for me to be there for the actual ceremony. I changed by ticket and worked with Kate's mom on the surprise. The whole week, and even the morning of the Graduation, I was texting with Kate as if I was missing her big day and wouldn't be in until Saturday. Little did she know, I was on the first flight that morning, and was in town in time to make it to her ceremony.When Kate looked up at her family, there I was waving. It took me sending her a text with SURPRISE, but when she saw it, her face said it all.
I LOVE surprising my friends. I am bad at keeping things a surprise, so I felt very proud that it worked.
Here are some pics from that weekend...
It was honor to celebrate this milestone in Katelynn's life. CONGRATS BUG! :)Two weeks later, I was on my way to Vegas. (I luv me some Southwest Airlines)
This time, I was on my way there to celebrate Rene's Dirty Thirty.
8 ladies made their way to Vegas from LA, Orange County, San Diego, Nashville, and Virginia. We all love us some Rene. If you know her, you know why we love her. She is a riot. Her laugh fills a room. She an encourager like no other. She is real. You want to know her. Trust me.We spent time in the Lazy River, got some sun by the pool, danced in the hotel room, saw a Cirque du Soleil show, hung out with Cab Drivers, and just enjoyed Sin City.
Celebrating Rene's Dirty Thirty was a weekend to remember, full of laughter and joy. It was an honor.
