Thank God it's Monday. I never thought I would utter those words but since it's a holiday, it seems appropriate. First and foremost, Happy Memorial Day. Today is the day we honor those who fought and lost their lives for our freedom. Thank you for your service. #neverforget.
My weekend has been a busy one (as usual) so let's recap on all of it while I sip this water and relax:
Friday
My little cousin, Nia, graduated from high on Friday - in the top 10% of her class mind you. I've
pretty much been saying this every weekend since but I am so proud of these kids. They are doing amazing things and setting such good examples of the younger generation (i.e., my kids and cousins). She is on to college in the fall (I can't remember if its Spelman or Valdosta) but she wants to be a veterinarian. Congrats Nia!

I borrowed this picture from her mom's Facebook page. |
The first half of Saturday was relaxing. We lounged around the house in pajamas all day. I cooked a big breakfast, took two naps, the kids destroyed the house and Hubby and I caught up on Scandal (omg, was that season finale not crazy?!). Later that evening, we headed down to Healy Point Country Club to continue the graduation celebration for all of the graduates in the family. My Aunt Cynthia did a great job planning and organizing the event. I didn't realize until that moment how many kids in the family graduated this year or headed off to do amazing things. Sheesh! The joys of a big family. There are tons of pictures from the night but here are a few to share:

We rolled in some time after 1:30am that night and pass out. Any time my family gets together is a great and this party was no exception.
Sunday
I think everyone slept in Sunday morning since we knew we had another event to go to that afternoon: Jazz in the Courtyard. Each summer, the Douglass Theater in Macon does live jazz music on the courtyard. The Douglass Theater is a historic theater that has hosted (and jump started) the careers of James Brown, Little Richard and Otis Redding, to name a few. My family are members and patrons of the theater so we always attend this event. Nothing like sitting under the stars sipping wine and listening to jazz.
I made an ice cream stop on the way. I love Baskin Robins. |

An 11:00pm basketball game, why not? |
