A Weekend of Celebrations!

As I lay here in bed on this rainy Monday, I look back onto such a rewarding, happy, loving, fun filled weekend.
***Warning: There are a ton of fun pics in this post***
Since I started school, I have not missed a single day! That's almost 4 months worth of classes and learning. Most people probably do this all the time-  welp, if you knew me back in college, you'd know that I was the queen of skipping. But that's because I didn't like it... Anywho, I digress. This weekend though, I'd be missing both Friday and Saturday.
Friday was my baby sisters graduation from college. It's been a super long haul for her and the day finally came. I couldn't have been a more proud sister. And I am super thankful for my telephoto lens to capture it all:

there she goes!

Only a little excited

She now has a double major: Elementary Education and Liberal Studies. After our fabulous lunch, we all headed back to my parents to relax a bit. But of course you have to go out and celebrate! A new country bar opened up close by, so we figured we'd try it. The food was amazing, but unfortunately they put little to no alcohol in their drinks. Which is whatever- but when your charging us for it, put it in there! We lined danced for a little bit, then headed out. It was a nice place, but very young crowd!! And it seemed like a big place for competition. Oh well- we made our own fun!

Saturday love was in the air! Our good friends got married!!! They've been dating for over 8 years, and yesterday they became each others  permanent date! It was a cloudy day, but nothing could rain on their parade. They had a beautiful church ceremony, and an amazing reception!! We ate, drank, and danced the night away in celebration. My legs and abs still are sore from  all the fun we had!

beautiful!!

I'm still not use to seeing my name like this...
but I love it

After a fun night at the wedding, as much as I wanted to sleep Sunday away, the school I go to hosted a Salon-a-thon for the  Sandy Hook Promise. It was the most rewarding experience  and something I can proudly say I participated in. The whole school was decked out in green and white, and OPI made a special nail polish color called 'Sandy Hook Green'  which was made specifically for the event!! All proceeds from the event went to the Sandy Hook Promise, 100%!!!! I am honored to call this place My School!!
