Bragging moment: he was the valedictorian {the valedictorian, people!}. I have been looking up to my little brother since I was a little girl. He got all the intellect, talent, kindness, and wit in the family.
Here are a few pictures of his awesome day {and a few from his open house}:

my cousin Stuart, who also graduated today! |
All in all, I'm super proud of him and Stu, and it was an awesome day.
In other news...
+ We went on two dates with this couple over the weekend (We have a third planned for Thursday. That's three in a week. No big deal.)
+ First pool party of the season happened!
+ I had an awesome Memorial Day. Last year at this time, I was recovering from surgery. Sam carried me down the stairs and into the car, and I hobbled slowly to the grave while he held me up. This year, we walked in side by side, carrying flowers. I couldn't stop thinking how blessed I am to have a healthy body, and so many people who have gone before me to pave my pathway.
Congratulations, John! We're so stinkin' proud of you!
