| Chilling by the pool |
Today I woke up knowing it was going to be a pretty awesome day! Had lunch at Olive Garden with my old CFA LOVES. We had a great time catching up and celebrating Veronica's womanhood, a.k.a. she turned 20! Emily is the only 'teen' left in our little group, besides Matt...he will be 20 June 30th. Everyone came back to my apartment afterwards and enjoyed the pool for several hours, where I got some needed sun. This white girl has been pasty white for TOOO long. Just a little sun on my shoulders and cheeks make me happy. Yes Mom, I did where Sun Screen.
By the time we all came in from the pool it was time for Selina & I to get ready for Jessica's graduation celebration at Church. We rushed over there to find a huge potluck, how I love potlucks! You just find a smorgasbord
of food, its great! Matt of course ate before he came but I think he still enjoyed it, especially watching Kurtis try to beat up an ex-marine. Good times. Each graduate had a slide show of pictures and during Jessica's a picture of her and our Mimi came up and immediately, My mom, Jessica, Rachael and I begin to tear up, Jess just straight up starts balling. Mimi passed away the Christmas before my graduation so I understand how hard it is to celebrate when she isn't here. I remember praying night & day that she would make it to my graduation, I wanted so badly for her to see how hard I worked and what I had accomplished. Her opinions meant more to me than anyone else'es.

On the car ride home Selina & I were talking how crazy it is that one picture can bring back so many memories and emotions. But the relationship my sisters, my mom & I had with our Mimi was like no other. Its a bond that no one can take from us. Mimi was such an amazing person and its so very difficult to go through times like this with out her. We know she is looking at us from heaven smiling because of how proud she is of all of us. She passed away in 2008 and it seems like yesterday. The pain is still fresh and we still miss her dearly. She was such a blessing to not only her family but to anyone who she was around. For those of you who knew my Mimi you know why its such an emotional time, you know what kind of person she was.
