Sunday Funnies

Lehigh Bound

Today my sister-in-law, Elle, left for college all the way in Pennsylvania :(

Isn't she gorgeous?!

Not only is she really really ridiculously good looking, she's super smart...

Elle was the Salutatorian for her graduating class!

Oh, and she was student body president...

*no biggie*

Did I mention that she was also the captain of the girl's basketball team?

Basically Elle is amazing.

I love her so much and am so proud of the incredible woman she is becoming. Last night we had a farewell dinner for Elle. I don't think it really sunk in with anyone until we started saying goodbye for the night that it was really goodbye until Christmas!!

Group hug around Elle last night.

This morning we met up with Elle before she got on the ferry to head to the airport.

Did I mention that Elle has a studly older brother?! ;)

{this is when the tears started}

We love you Ellie!!

I hope you have an amazing time @ college. If you ever need us we're only a phone call away... and don't forget to Skype us!!

Oh! I almost forgot to tell you one of my most favorite things about Elle...

She's never afraid to bust out her sweet dance moves!

*elle & my brother @ our wedding bustin' a move*

Elle- dance party when you get back for sure!!

2 years and counting...

Two years ago today I married my best friend. I'm so thankful for Josh and I couldn't imagine going through life with anyone else. It's been an adventure to say the least but I wouldn't trade it for the world. With each passing day I my appreciation and love for him grow and I couldn't ask for a more wonderful husband.

photo that makes me sad

Today's topic for the 30 day blog journal is: a photo that makes you sad.

As soon as I read the prompt the photo I chose came to my mind... I thought about picking another picture, but I really want what I write to be honest. I want to look back at what I've written on this blog and see what I was going through @ the time.

The photo I chose is of my mom and dad on their wedding day:

This photo was in a frame on my mom's bedside table for as far back as I can remember. The reason that this photo makes me sad is because it hasn't been on my mom's bedside table since March 2009. The picture came down after we found out about my dad's affairs. This pictures makes me sad because when I see it I think of what could have been...

I have to admit that I'm a little nervous about how it's going to go with Jay in the car for 8 hours, but I figure we'll stop every few hours... it won't be that bad, right?? ...right?!? :)
