Party Time!!

So I have the BEST husband in the whole world! He is so thoughtful and sweet. Here is the story. Apparently before I was even done with my third semester, Ed started planning a surprise party for my graduation. One day, I was walking out of my house with my mom because she was going to take my kids home with her so I could study. The flag on our mail box was up and Davin wanted to "get the mail" so I let him. There was an evelope in the box and Davin handed it to me and I looked at it. It was addressed from Ed to a bakery. So I call my sister, who informed me that she knew nothing of it except that she was picking out the flavors. Anyway, moral of the story is Ed planned the best graduation party for me. This is the cool cake he designed for me.













Ed hired our friend Brandon who owns his own catering business to come and cook for us. It was super yummy food and it was so awesome to be able to just hang out and not worry about anyone cooking or cleaning.










This is my mom, my sister and me.












This is me with my awesome brothers, my sister and my parents. I Love them!
One more picture to make me realize how incredibly blessed I am. These are my girls. They consist of my sister-in-laws, and friends I have had for such a long time. Some of these girls, I have been frinds with since I was 9! That is 20 years!
How awesome is that? Want some?
Once I figure it out, I'll put the rest of the random picutres in a slide show.
Oh, by the way, these pictures were taken on my other graduation gift from Ed, a brand new super nice Canon camera! I love it, I just have to learn how to use it.
I just want to thank everyone who came to my party. It meant so much to me to have my favorite people come to my house just for me. I'm thankful for all my friends and my family for ALWAYS supporting me. I am a very blessed girl.
