In the craziness of the past two weeks, I've been making sure to enjoy the little things. So far, this means I've been re-reading plenty of Harry Potter.
Last Thursday, my baby sister graduated from high school! It was definitely different being back at school, especially as an alumni and not a student. I enjoyed getting to say hi to some of my teachers and seeing some of my classmates. Watching my sister walk across that stage & head off for project graduation definitely brought back plenty of memories. Even though walking back into school for the ceremony reaffirmed for me how much I don't miss high school, it was nice to visit. It doesn't matter where life takes me, I'm sure I'll always bleed Red & Black.
The very next day, I had the rehearsal dinner for Adam & Erin's wedding! Its getting so close now--only 3 days left! In those few days there's still tons left to do! Picking up dresses, getting manicures & pedicures, spray tans, setting up the reception, SO MUCH! Its all exciting, especially since this is the first wedding I've been in & Erin is the first of my friends to be getting hitched. The rehearsal dinner really set in how close the wedding was, and each day brings it closer! I'm so excited for my friends, they're great & I know they're going to have a very very happy life together. Celebrating their marriage will definitely be a highlight of my summer. I've been so blessed by Erin's friendship since I was 6 years old & I'm so grateful I get to help celebrate her & Adam's day. I look forward many more future days in our friendship & watching their family grow!
Monday my parents & I celebrated Memorial Day by going into town for a parade. Its always nice to see the community coming together, especially in memory and honor of those in the military. Plus I always love watching the kids chase the candy & get so excited about the police cars and fire trucks. This year we were able to watch the parade with one of my best friends and his family. Times like this are the reason I love coming home. Friends & family mean more and more as I get older. I also feel so blessed that I've been able to see all my cousins since I've been home as well. Family really does help make this place feel like home.
I'm really looking forward to my June Writing Challenge! I think it may actually begin Friday since the wedding is the first, but we'll see how it plays out. I'm definitely looking forward to doing more creative writing. My life definitely isn't quite exciting enough for me to write an entire post each week. Although I am very much looking forward to blogging about the wedding!
