Daren's Graduation

We flew down to Texas last weekend for my father-in-law's MBA graduation. We couldn't be more proud of him!

We decided to bring the dogs with us because, well... they're just way too cute :) The plane ride to Texas was AWFUL. They got sick or nervous and puke all over their little carrier. Nasty. But on the way home they were little angels (even with the extra three hours stuck in the airplane because of a stupid dust storm in Phoenix).

they did not like it in there :(

We were so happy to be there for Daren's graduation. It was really neat to see him getting his diploma after two years of HARD work. He didn't do it for work or for a raise... he simply did it because it was one of his goals. Isn't that awesome?!

We were spoiled rotten all weekend long by Daren and his cute girlfriend Liliana. Ahh! It was just SO much fun and SO good to be with family. We went to Red Lobster, Outback, and Olive Garden (all of our favorites), saw Planes, and went to a place called Main Event for bowling, laser tag, and pool. I wish I would've taken more pictures, but here are some from my phone.

I know it's a little blurry, but if you look closely you will see that we got FIVE strikes in a row. It was unbelievable!

But we weren't the only ones who got spoiled all weekend long... The puppies sure love Uncle Tanner :)

giving them some watermelon :)

We also spent time with my mother-in-law Suzette, but of course I didn't take ONE picture. What the heck?! But it was SO good to see her and Jason--even if it was just for a little bit. Suzette is more than my mother-in-law, she really is my best friend. I just love her :) aaaannnndddd... she gave me 70 POUNDS worth of clothes! I am not exaggerating here people. I brought an empty, HUGE suitcase and she loaded me up with clothes that she had never even worn, or maybe worn once. And it wouldn't all fit even in one suitcase so she had to load up my other one. I just tripled my wardrobe! It's like Christmas times 100. I am SO lucky and spoiled.

She also made me the most darling sign I have ever seen in my life. Every time I look at it I can't help smiling. It's just way too cute.

I truly have THE BEST in-laws in the world! I really lucked out in that department. I  love them like they are my own family and it's amazing because I think they feel the same way :) It was just a perfect weekend in Texas--minus the suffocating heat, of course.
