Mark is a graduate!

Okay, so it took him a few extra years to graduate, but not without good reason (he left mid-college for an awesome career). So this weekend we (Mimi, Mark's lovely girlfriend Vicky, Rafi, and me) headed to the Ville to watch him walk. The graduation itself was a typical outdoor graduation, but I think Rafi and made the videotape quite entertaining. (I guess Mark will find this out later!!)

After the ceremony we all hung out and ate (and ate, and ate, and ate) at the parents' house where Mom had prepared all kinds of food. I think the main topic of the weekend was Spanish vocabulary (Mark speaks law, I speak school), but Rafi and Vicky obviously were the better speakers, being from Panama and Mexico. (Either way, "allí" is still proper!!) And because the Ville's bars are far from being very entertaining, we hung out at the Chili's in Granbury. Okay, so maybe that's not very entertaining either, but at least it was free to enter! (Don't get me started on the Ville's liquor laws.)
I really enjoyed shopping with the two moms in my life - my mom and my Mimi. Shopping the Ville doesn't take long, but it's the company that's with you that makes the day fun. And besides, who doesn't find a cute top at Goody's now and then? So Happy Mother's Day to both of them! We love you!

And Happy Mother's Day to Tina, Deanna, Kassie, Gen, Brenda, Mel, Jessica, Pilar, Kristen, Heather, Monica, Tita, Anabell, and all the many moms with whom I work and whom I know. Whether they be moms-to-be, moms who want to be, moms to humans, or moms to furbabies (like me), they are all awesome women who deserve a day of appreciation and REST!!! Enjoy, ladies!
