Can I just say how very proud I am of my husband?!

He completed his bachelor's degree in 3 1/2 years and did so while working full time.

He deserves to be celebrated everyday but we tried to make this past weekend one to remember.

Family from Indianapolis and the Chicago area drove and flew to be there to watch him receive his degree.

It was an awesome day.

Warm and sunny, full of family and fun.

Congratulations to John for a.) being super handsome and b.) graduating college

He enters

He exits

His family

Some of my family (missing Jeff, Lauren and their boys and Johnny!)

It's the "I finally made it" kiss

Sharing silly stories of the past 3 1/2 years.

I'm glad we went through this part of life together and cannot wait to see what the next

season brings. Cant. Wait.

His main professor, Dr. Sanders- one of the sweetest men ever. He wrote a song for his class

of graduates and sang it to them at their celebration dinner. 

Congratulations, John L! So. Proud. Of. You!!!

It's Friday and I can't think of an awesome title!

I was very excited by this week's blanks since last night I bought a new dress and shoes for John's graduation. Also we looked at neckties for half an hour. He was SUPER excited about this....(not).. (sidenote: why does graduation gear look like a judge's outfit?) What a crazy 3 1/2 years it has been but he's done an amazing job, has earned  this degree well and I am amazingly proud of him for his accomplishments! Also, thank you US Government for paying for it. It's a nice trade off. Strange but nice.  Send someone to war a couple of times and give them a free education. Sounds good enough, yes?

So... HAPPY GRADUATION, JOHN L. CULPEPPER,  you're the cutest and the smartest!

1.  One fashion trend I really regret is      jean jumpers and sandals with socks...I don't know if that was a trend or if that was just a combination and result of our private school rules and my need to wear Doc Martens   .

2.  The one thing that always completes any outfit is      pearl earrings or other  studs (like John Culpepper) .

3.  I would describe my personal style as       all over the place.  I love classic and simple and I adore a trendy thing here and there.  

I love bohemian styles too   .

4.  My fashion muse is       I love anything Nicole Ritchie wears     .

5.  If I could own one designer piece of clothing it would be     I don't know. Do purses count? I love D&G bags, Balenciaga bags. I sure do love 

designer jeans though    .

6.  I would love to raid the wardrobe of     any of my college friends.  It was fun trading clothes then and I am sure it would be fun (and interesting) 

to do so now   .

7.  Today I am wearing     capri jeans and a peasant top and flip flops (with pearl earrings, of course) and a cat necklace    .

Happy, Happy Weekend!
