Picture of the Week - 5/24/2018

Today is easily one of my favorite days of the entire year.  Not only is it our anniversary (which would be reason enough to celebrate alone), but it's also CHALK full of great memories.

We have had vacations, award ceremonies, picked up puppies, celebrated milestones, attended other weddings, and generally just enjoyed May 24th SO many times over the last 21 years.  It's a great day.  I hope you are all doing something fun today to celebrate 5/24/2018!

BTW - Bob and I are celebrating 21 years married today.  We're quite proud of that and can't wait, honestly - not just saying this as is customary, wait to celebrate another 21 years - or so.  I highly recommend marrying your best friend.  Makes for a pretty fabulous life.

Last night we let the boys play hooky from jiu jitsu and went to dinner.  It was SO nice.  We so rarely get to eat together as a family of 6 - and even more rarely do it while relaxed and in good spirits.  The conversations were great.  Pleasant.  Then we had ice cream and sat outside and just enjoyed a rare, relaxed, May Wednesday night.  The boys even let me take their picture :)

Today is a BIG day for the boys too!  Quinn's 8th grade picnic is today.  Then tonight is the 8th grade honors night - which he got an official invitation to attend.  Kinda cool - and can't wait to see what he won!  

Today is also the first day of the first sleep-away camp for Zane and Beck.  It's a mini-camp at Woodlands (same place Spencer and Quinn attended).  I think I may be more excited for them than they are - but only because they have no idea how much fun they are going to have!!!

Tomorrow Bob and Spencer will fly off to Virginia Beach for a weekend of wrestling tournament.  I pick up the little guys on Saturday morning (with my mom!) and then we will probably hide in the house the rest of the day because of the weird tropical plume of moisture that's been stuck over Georgia for the last 2 weeks.  It's going to be quite rainy this weekend.  Probably a good time to do some MBA paper writing!

Next week we start the crazy and chaotic summer routine.  It mostly involves shuffling the big boys back and forth to the high school for sports practice of some sort and shuffling the little boys to a wide variety of camps.

Have a really great May 24th!  I know we will!!!
