Graduation Dinner in Austin

Amazing cake

great friends - Amy & little Sydney, Somer (and baby Jaynes in utero), Me, Cortney & Samantha ~ we did not take pics of the boys - they were too busy gossiping

I have the greatest friends in the world!!! Not only were they amazingly supportive through all of my graduate school but especially through my dissertation melt downs! Through the years, no matter where I was living (Austin, San Antonio, Lubbock), Somer would drive and meet me after school for dinner to help me wind down and vent after long classes and desperation that it would never end! It meant the world to me.

To wrap up a finale of hard work, Somer and Jeff threw me a graduation dinner at their house in April. It was so great to get all my favorite Austin people together! I seriously have not laughed that hard in years and years. Just a wonderful group of 5 couples that needed a night away from kiddos and a place to tell hideously gross stories!!! A wonderful meal and beautiful red velvet bundt cake and lots of adult beverages topped off a great evening. Thank you again and again to Somer and Jeff and to all of my friends for their wonderful support!!!
