Graduation/Mother's Day/Summer Break

Wow. So my junior year is officially over & I am officially a senior in college!!!! How did time fly by so quickly?!? I finished up my finals a day early on Wednesday (5/5) and decided to stay until Saturday so I could spend more time with my roommates (two of whom were graduating) and not make three 2 1/2 hour drives. Spending my final days with Renee, Rachel, & Caitlin were bittersweet but also filled with fun memories. They have absolutely changed my life for the better & I am so thankful for their friendship! :)
Here we see Renee about to walk across the stage to receive her diploma.
So excited!!!!
She was so happy & I was so incredibly proud of her!

Caitlin getting her diploma!!! :)
Renee & I after the graduation ceremony. She has made me a better person & I cannot accurately describe how badly my heart hurt after saying goodbye to her. It's crazy how meeting someone in a math class freshman year can turn out to be your best friend two years later. I love her so much! Needless to say, I am not good at goodbyes. The 2 1/2 hour drive home was spent crying my eyes out. :( After arriving home late in the evening, I spent some time at Ben's house. We ate some pizza & just talked. It was nice to not worry about homework or tests.

On Sunday, I celebrated Mother's Day at Ben's grandparent's house & then later ventured over to my grandparent's house.
Here we see Amanda riding her horse Secret.





Hannah rode Secret as well while her horse Lakota was eating grass.





On the left we see Bailey flying a kite as Uncle Ben looks on. On the right we see the neighbor's horses who were VERY interested in what was going on in the yard.
Beautiful horses. I love summer. ♥
