Hello friends and the rest of the blog world! I apologize for being away for a bit, but we have been SUPER-CRAZY-BUSY since moving back! Let me catch you up:
Thursday May 12th
My sister, Maggie, graduated from UT with a Masters in Accounting. I am super proud of my smart and beautiful sister who has also already taken the CPA exam and has a job with Crow Horwath that starts in September.
Friday May 20th
My wonderful husband, Alan, graduated from Washington University in Saint Louis with a Masters in Tax Law. It was quite possibly the quickest road-trip we have ever taken, but totally worth it to celebrate this huge accomplishment. Woo Hoo! I am so excited he is finally done! Alan also has a job which he will start this coming Monday at Stone & Hinds law firm in Knoxville. I wonder if dual incomes means an increased shopping allowance for me...hmmm!
We ate dinner the night before Alan's graduation at Annie Gunn's which is a wonderful restaurant in Chesterfield
the all-campus graduation ceremony was held in Brookings Quadrangle-it was beautiful!
all the faculty sat under the pavilion where the speakers addressed everyone from
Alan walking in with his classmates
After the all-campus graduation ceremony, we headed over to the law school where there was a smaller ceremony for just the law school graduates
the law school graduation took place under a beautiful tent on the lawn in front of the law school
all the law school graduates
so proud of my smart husband!
Alan calls Katie (who wasn't able to make the trip) and tells her he is done!
Saturday May 21st
My sister, Christa, graduated from West High School. Wow did this ever bring back some memories! I am so proud of and excited for Christa about going to UT this fall. She has so much to look forward to! Oh college how I miss you!
