Party Day Today!

The Bride to Be with her class (Ian is in the back right)
Ms. Braun

I was able to get to work before the crack of dawn today because I had two parties to attend today. The first was a potluck luncheon at work with my coworkers in honor of one of my graduate assistants. He defended his dissertation yesterday and passed. He has worked for me the last 3 years and this is such a great accomplishment!

Then, in the afternoon, a couple of the moms (6 maybe) met at Kingswood at around 2pm and at 2:15pm we walked into Ian's classroom to surprise Ms. Braun! We threw a bridal shower for her today and it was a lot of fun! We gave her a Bride to be tiara (pink and it lights up!!!), Bride to be ribbon pin, a mat that was signed by the kids in the class, Recipe Book that included each child's favorite recipe and a picture of the child, scrapbook that included pictures of the kids and their words of wisdom as well as a handwritten book by the class. Oh and we had each kid give her a bow or ribbon to make a bouquet using her wedding colors! We finished the event with chocolate chip cookies as a treat. :) Congratulations Ms. Braun and I can't wait to see the pictures from the big day!!!

Early day tomorrow...NCSU graduation, so our department puts on the breakfast for the student-athletes graduation. Must be at Vaughn Towers by 6:45am. YIKES! After I rush home to change and then we head to soccer practice at 9:45am!
