A good friend from my program got married in May and Ben and I had the honor of attending. It took place at such a classy, beautiful setting in downtown Philadelphia.
Congrats Liz and Jon! I still don't know how you planned such a fabulous wedding in the midst of a very difficult semester. You're amazing!
Future pediatric NPs :)
Keeping it classy
Right after that I had the pleasure of making a super quick trip back to CA for a friend's wedding and some excellent Claire time. It was way too short of a trip but I'm thankful for what I got. AND there was a most excellent surprise waiting for me at the airport in Philly when I returned....MY MOM!!!
Kim picked me up and I had a great time meeting baby Will and catching up (just forgot to take a picture!). Then, had dinner with these dear friends.
At Shanghai Dumpling House, of course
The next morning I woke up to morning giggles from this beautiful girl.
Very proud of the sound her hand can make by rubbing it against the table.
And VERY excited to show me her jumping skills.
Got to spend the day with Grandma Janice and Rocko
Excellent neck control.
Claire and Kayleigh got some fun play time. I had fun with their mamas.
I also got to enjoy the warm hospitality of Annie and Chris in their brand new home! This is us taking a walk around their neighborhood. We got to join some good friends for a super fun wedding dress shopping session, but of course those pictures are secret :)
Saturday was Joe and Jenny's beautiful wedding.
Together again.
Sass.
She loves her daddy and I love her rolls
We also got to spend the day with my precious Papa. I don't hold it against him for being a Trojan. Here he is holding his great grand baby's hand.
Like I said, way too quick of a trip but fortunately, Ben and I will be back again this summer. He will be interning at Canyon Creek Church and speaking at a houseboat camp for 6 weeks this summer. I'll join him for the last week in August. Can't wait to return and see how much Claire has grown!
As I walked toward the exit of the Philly airport, Ben was waiting for me inside. That's funny, I thought to myself, why did he park instead of just waiting for me to meet him outside? But before I could ask him, he swung me around and there was my lovely mom, running up to give me a hug. It was the most special surprise to have her there at my graduation. Those pics coming soon.
