Fam.

Got to visit with these two today, and Mom for a brief second too.
The report: Deacon is still alive.

Today I said some final goodbyes.

Yogurt and a mall trip with Hutlas.

I'm gonna miss these people...

The time nears.

Today I enjoyed some of my farewell gifts:

A treasure box of notes and photos from my most dearly loved ones to bring with me on my journey.

Some beautifully presented educational material about my destination.

Scenes of my family.

What immeasurable gifts...

I just love them.

Mother's Day.

Today started with a french toast breakfast for Momma made by yours truly.

Continued with the purchase of a plane ticket to Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Followed by a stroll on the Greenway.

And concluded with the annual tradition of Chinese food for dinner.

And of course, the usual pleasantries and antics that come with this family.
Perfect. (Again, we missed you, Engers!)

Happy Mother's Day
to all the amazing women out there that continue to perform the very hardest job, free of charge, full of love.
We celebrate also those who give this same kind of motherly love even if they don't have children of their own. And finally, we remember mothers now beyond this world and celebrate the beautiful children they leave behind to continue their legacy of love.

2010 Graduate.
Yeah, Girl.

We had some family strategery going down to make sure we got the best view of Amy as she crossed the stage and received her diploma from GCSU today.

Woot.

Here's the whole gang that came up to Milledgeville to see Miss Amy take her walk.
Party for sure right here.

I'm mighty proud of her.

CONGRATULATIONS, Amy!
All the blood, sweat and tears (quite literally) paid off!
