| Ryan and me in his apt. |
Hello everyone!
How often have we said those words? Well maybe not those words exactly, but something similar. Make the world stop, make the bad man go away, calgon take me away.....you get the idea. I'm sort of feeling like that. So many things happening, at such a fast pace. I want to enjoy all the moments, savor them, mull them around in my mind. But it seems the hours, days and weeks are melting together.
Since I last wrote, I've been to Indiana for a graduation; Longport, New Jersey for a bachelorette party weekend; and this weekend off to Connecticut for another graduation. Next weekend is Memorial Day weekend at the shore,the following is the cocktail/couples bridal shower, and then I get a blessed, few weeks with no obligations until the big wedding day in July. So many things happening at once!!

The graduation was wonderful, and despite some bad food choices, a little too many carbs in my case, I fared pretty well. I came back and was up a few pounds, but then came back down a few. Maybe all the walking we did payed off.
I am so proud of my son Ryan for getting his MBA. We had a wonderful time celebrating. Here are some photos.

Indiana University is a beautiful campus.
So this weekend I am off to my youngest son's college graduation in Connecticut. And for the first time in eleven years I am tuition payment free!! Yay!!!
I have so many more things to tell you. I'll post again soon. Remember to stay the course, pick yourself up and get back on track if you make a mistake, and keep a positive attitude.Oh, and always push that bread basket away where you can't reach, it at the restaurants!! Hugs and love to you all!

OK I love that quote at the end. You have been a busy girl and I can really relate to the take me away thing. Especially lately.
