She Graduated and Memorial Day

Happy Tuesday everyone! How was everyone's weekend? Mine was super busy but full of family time. 

Saturday I went to the library, as I want to start getting back into reading. Then Saturday night we had dinner at a local Mexican restaurant to celebrate my brother getting a new job. There were probably 25-30 of us there. It was a nice time.  

Sunday was the perfect day for a high school graduation! Rebecca and 305 of her classmates all graduated in a ceremony that was only 1.5 hours long. It was a wonderful ceremony and I was so proud of Rebecca as she graduated with honors! 

After her graduation, we went to my sister and sister-in-law's house and my sister-in-law cooked dinner for everyone. It was a very low key but wonderful celebration. We had talked about going out to eat, but we figured everywhere in our town that would be suitable would be packed and this was just so much better. After dinner, my sister-in-law built a small fire in their fire pit. It was truly a good day. 

Yesterday was Memorial Day and one of the things that I love about our small town is their Memorial Day parade. This year it was very nicely done and very respectful. My sister-in-law and my niece walked in the parade with my sister-in-law's work. We also found Waldo in the parade! The rest of the day was pretty low key with naps being taken, and just resting and relaxing. 

This is the last week of school for the boys. Jacob has finals today, tomorrow and Thursday. Ben has classes as well, with early release on Thursday. My plans for the week include cleaning, cleaning, laundry, more cleaning, etc. You get the picture. LOL. 

I hope everyone has a good week. Let me know what you've been up to.
