Joey’s Graduation

Today Joey is graduating from college! What’s even more impressive is that he got a job and is starting it on Monday! How crazy is that.

I made him a card and money jar. Here is what the jar looked like before:

Graduation Jar Before

 

I wrapped it in paper and put a graduation cap on top of it to make it look cute. The cap is a thick piece of black foam I had with paper put on top of it. That way the brad holding the tassel didn’t go all the way through. J spray painted the lid for me, it was silver. Then I wrapped up money like diplomas in ribbon and put them inside.

California 2013

Apparently I have an obsession with using the old maps from our trips in my scrapbook pages. It just seems like such a great way to save them!

J and I got to spend a week in California March, 2013 for work, but we did some vacationing on the side. This was a day we spent in San Diego at the USS Midway museum and Cabrillo National Park/Point Loma. Point Loma was my favorite spot in California. The view was gorgeous, even if J did freak me out getting so close to the edge!

Wedding Card

It comes around every year, and here it is again, wedding season! I think I love wedding season so much because I had such a beautiful wedding. I wish I lived closer to everyone I know to help celebrate their special days. Instead, I’ve sent some homemade cards instead.

Catspy Awards

Our engagement happened the same weekend as the University of Kentucky’s Catpsy Awards. (It’s like the ESPN Espy’s).

I also really enjoyed getting to re-wear my junior prom dress, ’cause who doesn’t want to get dressed up like prom sometimes!?!
