Anyway, I promised to talk about a plethora of things, so let's see if I can remember back to the last time that I posted:
Tim's Georgetown graduation was the weekend before Memorial Day weekend, and, being that family members on both sides had other commitments, it was mostly our little foursome, aside from a brief cameo by my uncle Ed. On Friday night, we had a nice dinner together and then went to Senior Ball, which, after going my senior year and falling in love with it, I practically forced Tim to attend {in the end, though, I think he realized that essentially EVERYONE was there}. I never turn down an opportunity to bust out the long, formal gown that I bought for my Senior Ball, and it was nice to see family friends and Tim's roommates, along with their families.

On Saturday, we all grabbed brunch at Metro 29 {we don't need a fancy brunch haha} and then putzed around before Tim's graduation ceremony. The Business School had a 6:00 p.m. graduation, and the weather looked more and more threatening as the day went on. They made the call at 4 that graduation would be out on the lawn, and, as we walked outside to snag some seats, we found that it was raining. Bummah. We still had two hours to kill and were likely to get soaked, and, more importantly, I felt awful for the graduates, who, I imagined, would not have umbrellas with them. Luckily, it only sprinkled a little bit as we waited, and the rain held off during the ceremony. Alleluia! I was so proud of my baby brother as he walked across the stage and was incorrectly hooded by a professor who was probably 8 inches shorter than him. The perils of being tall! But anyway, I am so proud of everything he has accomplished, and I have no doubt that he will continue to do great things.
After taking the requisite pictures, we grabbed dinner, and, just like that, with absolutely no fuss, graduation weekend was over. While I loved having so many family members at my graduation, there is definitely something to be said for having an intimate group. It was such a special weekend, though, given that now 3 out of the 4 of us in our little family have gone to Georgetown. It is a tradition that I have been so honored to share with my dad, Tim, and other family members who have gone here.
So proud of our graduate!

In my next post, I will bring you up to speed on our move {!!!!!!!!}, which, as you will remember, had me all riled up and nervous.
