Hello Summer

So the weather ended up being PERFECT this week--no rain, lots of sunshine, slight breeze at night. I'm such a lucky girl.

Spent Cinco de Mayo in Clearwater with J and his familiaaaa and stayed for some greatly anticipated beach time. Hooray for beautiful sand and clear water (ha ha, get it?) and waves and swimming and getting tan! Oh, and margaritas and piña coladas, too ;)

Set out Friday after a nice breakfast for my home sweet home. I spent the weekend engaged in family festivities in celebration of my Grandpa's 90th birthday (whoaaaa he's as old as John Paul Stevens!) and had a fantastic time. Finally got to meet some of my baby cousins (ahhhh they're so cute!!!) and see relatives I haven't talked to in years and years. And Grandpa really seemed to enjoy himself. He said to me, "Look! All these people are here because of me!" "Well, Grandpa," I said, "you're a pretty important guy!"

Then yesterday, spent the day with my mommy for Mother's Day. We took her to brunch and a movie about babies, dropped KK off at the airport, and later went to dinner as well. Spent the evening watching The Blindside and eating delicious cake my culinarily-gifted sister baked (she's kind of amazing). Then sleep.

I'd say it was a successful start to a very sweet summer :)
