Wow - what a month! Only 9 more days 'til I leave for China to pick up baby girl!!!! Well, school is winding down and while I won't get to go to my pinning OR graduation, it is a celebration for me anyway because I've worked hard for this! So here's a big shout out to most of my peers in this picture - ROCK ON! (ok - guess which one is me?!?!?!??!So NEXT - some of my closest friends threw Robert & I a "China Send-Off party!" It was AWESOME! Mostly, because as we get closer to leaving, there have been numerous preparations, distractions and stressors that have kicked our butt! So it was really, REALLY cool to just hang out with our friends, chill, grill out and open up some gifts for Mary!!!!! This particular group of friends, we call "NO FEAR". We are like-minded in that when it comes to issues that are not pleasant, or questions of spiritual nature based on God's word and just issues we face personally and collectively; we have faith and confidence and NO
FEAR in our desire to receive and search for truth in every circumstance, uphold what is right and honorable in God's eyes, live life passionately and AUTHENTICALLY as we all are a work in progress. We lift each other up, and it's just.....awesome. So here are a couple of pictures of our party hosted by one of the most generous and awesome couples around, Renee and Shorty Hunt! THEY ROCK! They are hilarious too - shoot, ALL of "NO FEAR" are!!!!
Check out Mary's first stadium chair - awwwwwww!!!! THEN - I go to see my
niece, TONI who is getting married May 9th. Can't attend the wedding so she had a bachelorette party. The SAME night
, my nephew Chris (Toni's big brother) had his Senior Prom and it was also the Sandi's FIRST prom! (Toni and Chris' little sister - BTW, my sister has 2 more!!! Mallori and Kendall! Anyway, it was one night of major celebrations. At Toni's party, we all wore crazy wigs and makeup and went to dinner - FUN! THEN - Toni, Mallori, Lori and I went and CRASHED THE PROM!!!! SOOOOOO much fun! We stayed long enough to dance a couple of dances with the young whipper snappers, make a scene and scoot out FAST! Chris dressed really funky but Sandi just looked beautiful! (Sandi is the ONLY one without a wig and I have green hair and my sister Lori has the wild pink wig! Toni's got the "MACY GRAY DO" and Mallori is the cute neon wig!) So here's some pics of how we like to have crazy, fun - without going to jail!!!!LOL! It was an incredible weekend of awesome memories, great times and celebrations. I can't WAIT for Mary to join in!!!!!
