Hey May!

My youngest SIL had her senior prom recently.
She'll graduate in a couple weeks and attend school at South Alabama...on a scholarship, no less.
Beeeautiful!
We celebrated Cinco de Mayo at Cocina Superior in Brookwood Mall with CJ's sister and BIL.  We had so much fun!  Staci has pictures of me and the hubs - I'll add those just as soon as she gets them to me.
My cousin Loren and her husband Brandon had their first child last week.

Isn't she precious?  God is so good!
Mother's Day!
Sunday we had a feast of a lunch at my parent's house.  Hubs and I picked up Golden Rule BBQ and my little brother, John, cooked two whole chickens on the grill, collard greens (or "greens" as we call them), sausage, potatoes, and carrots.  My dad bought my mom a cake for dessert.  It was all so wonderful.  I had no idea my brother was such a grill expert!  After lunch, mom opened her gifts and we all had cake.  She got two sets of flowers, one from John and one from my dad.  I think she felt pretty special yesterday.  I love my mom so much and feel blessed to be her daughter.  Every time I see her, it's never long enough.  Whether we're shopping or chatting at the kitchen table, I have the best time with her.
She's my best friend.
   
Next, hubs and I went to dinner at New York Pizza in Homewood with CJ's family.  We had so much fun with everyone.  My MIL seemed to enjoy herself - although she liked her gifts, I know she would have been just as happy having her kids (minus Kayt, she was sick) and grand kids together.  We ate pizza and laughed for a couple hours.  It was such a good time.
For the record, I had my camera at both celebrations.
For the other record, I didn't take any pictures.
For the last record, I could kick myself for that. 
Next up is our beach trip!
We are within mere HOURS of relaxing at our most favorite sandy spot in the world.  I am so excited for us to spend our days on the beach and our evenings indulging in steamed seafood.  I have to admit I'm not excited about being away from Dale for so long, but I know he'll have a blast being pampered at my mom's house:)

We have the most gorgeous hydrangea bush outside and I snipped a few flowers off to enjoy indoors.  I think from now on I'll always be sure to have hydrangeas close by.  So lovely!


Alright, it's way past my bed time.
