May

I love the month of May. It means the end of school, TV season finales, and Mother's Day. I've got another post about season finales, but this weekend was full of parties celebrating graduations and moms.

Cousin Ariel graduated from nursing school on Saturday! Woot!

After graduation, we headed to Altus to celebrate Mother's Day with my dad's mom and then go to Ariel's graduation party. On Sunday, my mom's family got together to celebrate Mother's Day.

Mother's Day is great because moms deserve a lot of recognition. My mother especially (I may be a little partial). My mother works so hard teaching every day. She goes early, stays late and brings a ton of stuff home. She cares so much about her kids that she gives up her own time to work on things for them. She doesn't let all that work get in the way of other things though. She is committed to Capitol Hill, cooking once a month, teaching twice a month, and doing all the pre-school curriculum. After all that, she still has time for me and my dad (which is saying a lot). Here she is with D at the CHCC Christmas party.

Thanks for everything, mom. I hope you had a fabulous Mother's Day! You deserve it.
