Here are some pictures from Ryan's students' high school graduation. This was the first graduating class his school has had since 1986. The school just recently became a high school again, after being a middle school for many years.
Here is Ryan applauding his students along with some of his fellow co-workers...
This week, I got to spend a lot of time with this lil' lady. Yes, this is Elise and she is getting soooooooo BIG! She is the happiest baby I have ever met! She has the sweetest disposition.
Liz put her hair in pig-tails for the first time. Isn't she a doll???
She definitely gets her beauty from her mama :)
This weekend, we went over to Josh and Tiffany's for a little Memorial Day fun. See the field behind the guys? The beginnings of corn crops...
Ryan and Tiffany's brother, Brad...
Tiffany and Josh live in the middle of our subdivision. Their backyard butts up to a corn crop. Cool huh?
Eric and Josh "throwin' the corn."
Ryan and I went to Victory Field last week to watch the AAA Indians play.
For the past 2 years, Ryan's school has had their "End of the Year Party" at the baseball field...
It was fun. We went on a Monday night and it was DEAD, which was great for us! Cheap seats and good parking!!!
The neighborhood pool opened this week as well...
To beat the heat, me, Liz and Elise headed there for a lil' "fun in the sun!"
I adore this kid! What a sweetie. 
Liz and I also went "Garage Sale-ing" and found NOTHING!!!! We did however have an awesome lunch in Carmel at Bub's Burgers...

Bub's is located in the Art and Design District, which I have blogged about before. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it there!
A lot of the construction is new, and everything (including a performing arts center) is almost complete! 
The burgers at Bub's were FANTASTIC, but these "Sloppy Fries" were like "Heaven on Earth!!!" Ahhhhhh, my arteries are clogging just looking at this picture!
Elise was a fan too!!!
My friend April invited us to her housewarming this week. She recently bought a brand-new townhome in Carmel. 
Ryan and I had a great time meeting her friends and neighbors. I love April-She has been a good friend to me. I am lucky to have her in my life. Here is a pic of me, April and her son, Caden.
Last but not least, we were able to make a day trip out to a campsite in Anderson. We had originally planned on camping out with tents, but the weather forecast predicted rain and we didn't want to take our chances...

This week, Ryan's parents are driving their RV cross country and are planning to stay a few days with us. We look forward to spending time with them. Then after that, we will be en route to good ole' Cali for a few days and then relaxing with Papa and Tutu in Hawai'i!!! We can't wait. We have been looking forward to this for months!

Because I am scared, I have been kinda "down in the dumps" about this birthday. Maybe even a little depressed??? Those who know me well know that I have always been a planner. For the first time in my life, I have met all my long-term goals and am not sure what direction I would like my life to go in. I feel panicked. Anyways, my big 3-0 got a trillion times better when these lovely ladies secretly flew out to Indy from CA to surprise me!!! 
Apparently my Mom, Grandma Helen, Aunt Karen and sister Alyssa had been planning this for 3 months and the ONLY person in Indy that knew about it was my friend Liz!!!! These pics are right after they surprised me!!! As you can see I was a "Hot Mess." I was bawling like a little baby!!!! They shocked the HELL out of me!
On Friday, May 15th, my friends Liz, Kristin and Sabrina took me out for drinks at Applebees. About 20 minutes later, our server told me I had a phone call. I walked to the back to the restaurant and no one was on the line. Hmmmmm- I walked back to our booth and my friends were gone and my family was sitting there instead!!! I was in TOTAL shock and it truly was the BEST birthday present ever!!!!
Here we all are- Kristin, Mom, Liz, Sabrina, me, Alyssa, Grandma and Aunt Karen.
We drove to Castleton to check out Grandma's old house. She lived in Indiana for 3 years in the 80's. It looks like it has held up pretty good, huh???
