10 Years Ago

I graduated from High School!

Tonight is our High School graduation soiree and for reasons I cannot disclose, I am skipping it. I am however reliving my glory days (not really) by uploading a bunch of photos and sharing them with you all, because that is how much I love you :)!

Graduation 2002

Dinner at Chili's after

Me, Diana, and Kristina

Me and Lewis, we played a composition by one of the seniors that night

I used to have super long hair my senior year!

What do y'all think, have I changed much?!

It's Friday, Friday

So Wednesday was the 4th, and there was plenty of fun, food, fireworks, blah, blah, blah...

My family came over and after a long day of lounging

And eating

We watched fireworks down the street!

Thursday, Zac came back and after a long day of this...

I wore this new gift from Zac out to the movies to go see Ted!

Today was uneventful, but hopefully things will pick up this weekend maybe some poolside... :)

How was your rest of the week, after the holiday?

Top 5 Tuesday

1. Yesterday I read this!

Dallas Symphony receives $700.000K grant 

I can't help but think that the meeting I attended last Friday was part of the reason this happened :)

Check out my post about it  here

2. I shot this picture of the moon Sunday night. Doesn't it look beautiful?

3. A couple of weeks ago I ordered a Longhamp Le Pliage bag, but soon realized the small version was too small. After convincing Zac to let me keep it, I decided to get the bigger version and I love it!

4. My necklace from Southern Belle finally arrived!

5. My MIL gifted me this chevron/missoni-wannabe scarf from Sam Moon. If you are from the Dallas area, I am sure you have heard of SM, if not, you need to get there fast! This place has every trendy item that you can think of and for great prices.

On a more sad note, I had to drop off Zac at the airport this morning to go to DC. I'll be spending 4th with my family and missing the Mr.

What are your plans for tomorrow?

Love to hear from you, 

~Mrs. S

Patience

This is our rose garden after 1.5 months of planting.

It used to look like this...

Last Thursday while I was getting ready for the blogger event upstairs, I heard a loud noise coming from outside, and lo and behold this was going on... What sounded like a mini tornado had knocked over the lawn table and my hibiscus, and the grill! It was crazy....

Did you plant any flowers that are just now blooming?
