Oh, the hormones!

Another two weeks have come and gone. It really feels like time is starting to pick up. However, another 26 weeks of this seems like forever! I guess I should stop wishing the time away and enjoy the quiet times and sleep while I can.

This past Wednesday my oldest nephew, Nathan, graduated from kindergarten. It seems like only yesterday he was born. I often tease him and tell him that he is really my baby. I think he will be 20 years old and I will still be trying to carry him like a baby. There were several occasions as a baby I tried to sneak him out of my sister's house in my purse:)

On Wednesday morning, I arrived to his little graduation ceremony. My sister told me that Nathan has a little "part" in the graduation where he got to talk in front of everyone. Nathan got up there and said his little part like a pro! My little baby is growing up. I was fine until they started handing out the certificates. Then, it just hit me and I could not control the tears. I was boo-hooing like a 10 year old girl! Just thinking of how much he has grown in the past five years really put me over the edge. It wasn't just a tear here or there. I was unconsolable and snot was going everywhere. I know I must have embarrassed the heck out of Melanie. After the slow, sad music stopped, I was able to pull myself together. You would think he was going away to college or something! If I acted this way with Nathan, I can only imagine the pride I will feel for my own child.

Here is Nathan doing his part of the graduation.
Here is a picture of me and Nathan at his graduation.

This was not an isolated incident, I can't listen to any sad country song or watch any commerials dealing with kids going to college. Lesson learned: Always have tissues on hand and ready!

Our one year wedding anniversary was also this weekend. This was the same day that my friend Lynsey got married. I cried a couple times that morning thinking about Greg and my wedding the year before. I was hoping I wouldn't embarrass myself and cry hysterically at her wedding. She looked absolutely beautiful and we had a great time! Thankfully, I was able to keep it together at the ceremony. Greg and I will be celebrating our wedding anniversary this upcoming weekend! I hope the wedding cake is still good!

Here is a picture of Greg and I with the bump at Lynsey's wedding.
