Girls’ Day

It had been quite some time (months, maybe?) since my mom, sister, and I had hung out together. We were blessed to be able to spend most of Thursday with each other because our schedules aligned!

Girls Day

I had the day off of my regular job and only had to pet sit two dogs, Hannah finished her classes in the morning, and my mom and sister were at my house by the early afternoon!

We were able to visit Hannah’s jeweler to get her engagement ring resized, browse around some decoration stores, enjoy a lovely dinner together, and I even got to do a little photoshoot of Hannah. It was such a great day, and just what I needed. I miss living with my family, but the time we spend together now is extra special, and something I cherish so very much.

We filmed a vlog to remember our day, and I think it adequately shows the silliness that ensues when we hang out.

I went to sleep that night feeling incredibly blessed. It was a good day 🙂

Hannah’s Graduation Party

Our family celebrated Hannah’s high school graduation, 18th birthday, and her and Josh’s engagement all in one day. Whew! It was such a fun celebration.

Also, Hannah’s decorating skills are on point. My parents’ backyard looked like a Pinterest board by the time she was done decorating.

Between Hannah’s friends, church family, and extended family from New York, my parents had 80 people at their house on Saturday. Though it was hot, humid, and stormy throughout the day, we didn’t let the weather stop us from having a great time.

Jimmy and I arrived a couple of hours early, and after I finished frosting cupcakes, I designated myself as the photographer for the day.

We ate Italian food, jumped on the trampoline, took turns holding babies, admired Hannah’s engagement ring, took a million pictures, and talked into the late evening.

I had a lot of extended family asking me to take their pictures, which made me so excited. My cousin had a baby in June, so I was beyond pumped to take her picture, feed her, and snuggle as much as possible.

The party ended with a bonfire and smore’s, the perfect ending to any party if you ask me 😉

All in all, it was a beautiful day full of spending time with loved ones and celebrating Hannah and the accomplishments she has achieved through Christ. Congrats, Hannah!
