#Graduated

Let's just ignore the fact that we still have a week of school left, and that I'm not actually done with my courses for a sec. Cuz it's time to celebrate! (here's where I would normally insert a little confetti emoji, but alas, this is a blog and not Instagram) I GRADUATED! It actually happened! Woohoo!!

We got to graduate with the five kiddos in our Kindergarten class, and even though it was different, it was also really unique experience. There have been countless times where I wished that I could have had a larger class, or more people my age to be around, but at the same time I have so loved getting to know all of the younger kids at our school this year, and it was just so special to be able to say things to each one of them, and to get little notes from them after the ceremony.

So here's to graduating and adulting and new adventures and all of the other cliche things that graduates usually say.

Let's Party!

A few weekends ago we had a little graduation party for Stephen and me. We brought lights and flowers and candles and glitter jars (DIY for those here if you want some for yourself  :) ) and set everything up at a little Italian Restaurant in town. Everyone who cam brought blessings to share, and it was so so encouraging and special to have so many of our loved ones gathered together in one place. We basically spent the whole evening laughing and crying and eating the best Italian food that you've ever tasted. All in all, it was a pretty fantastic night.
