we have a DOCTOR in the family!

After 4 long years and lots of hard work, Thomas has finally graduated from UGA. It was such an awesome feeling to watch someone work so hard and accomplish a goal they have set out for!

Thomas's graduation was at the Performing Arts Center at 10:30. Here are a couple pictures from the ceremony.

We headed to Loco's for a quick lunch and then headed home to get ready for the big party! Here is the some pictures of the set up for the party...

chicken salad with crackers, grapes and cheese and pasta salad (I bought the pasta salad from Kroger! My mom made chicken salad and purchased the cannolis)

strawberries with cannoli cream, cheese balls and cannolis

Beer in one tub

Water in the other

Other drinks: coke and wine. For the wine, I mixed 8oz moscato wine with 2 oz ginger ale and added fruit

The Georgia overlay was actually a twin bed sheet

I bought a balloon to go on the mailbox but since it was pouring down rain, we hung it by the door

Obsessed with the cake! So much detail

With my handsome husband

It was such a great day! We appreciate and love all of our family and friends for coming out to celebrate with us, especially on a miserable rainy day! I can't wait to start this next chapter in our life and to be a 2 income household!

Love,

Foodie Post-April

Sorry my foodie post is a little late! Yesterday was a crazy day! And I couldn't get it to rotate, so just turn your head!

My foodie was from North Caroline so I got a lot of "Caroliner" treats! I didn't get a picture of everything individually because everything was used so quickly!

I made BBQ pork chops with the Carolina Treet! It was delicious!

Thomas stole the chow chow and pork strips from me and immediately stuck them in his snack drawer!

I haven't had a chance to eat the pickles yet, but I love that they are individually packaged!

Love,
K
