Weekend yardwork...

 While Wayne was mowing the lawn today, I decided our

driveway was badly in need of cleaning. Every year we power wash

the front porch and the back porch

(Chris did it for us this year)

but we usually skip a year

(or two) 

on the driveway because  #1...it is huge and 

#2...It takes forever.

So this is the year to at least clean part of the driveway...

I actually love the power washer because even though

it is slow...

you get amazing results!!!

And I can soak up some vitamin D in the process!!!

 

  

I also like to make designs... 

 ...and get Wayne involved too!!!

 ......we hope to not see you next year!!!

Moving on...!!!

The sign on the back of the U-Haul truck is very applicable

to a recent graduate. But Chris has know for a few months that

he would be leaving Louisiana and moving on to Denver

where he will be working for Halliburton, an oil drilling

company.

So after graduation yesterday we helped him to load the

 truck get ready to go...

  

They hooked his car up to the back of the truck...

 

...and he took off on his next great adventure!!!

 

I packed him a giant lunch, Wayne gave him a very 

awesome father's blessing and our advice to him

 was to not look back.....

So after a few tears and hugs...

 

...he drove off to start his new life for himself...

Best of luck, Chris, we are all rooting for you!!!

Love you tons!!!

Class of 2012

Today Chris graduated with a bachelors degree in Civil Engineering from McNeese State University.

We are so proud and excited for him to have completed this goal in his life and to have received his degree with honors!!!

It was a really fabulous day for him and for us too.

 

After the ceremony inside the Burton Coliseum....

 

We went to take pictures outside...

always a favorite part.

 

We also drove over to the McNeese campus and 

took a few more pictures.

Chris is now an official cowboy!!!

 

So happy for you Chris!!

We are excited for you and know that you will 

accomplish many more fabulous goals in the future!!!

We love you!!!
