Wow...saying my family is blessed is quite an understatement.

 My cousin had a baby...the first great grandchild of all the cousins on both sides. (#220)

My little sister graduated from college.  (#221)  Now everyone on my family has a bachelor's degree.  (#222)  And amazingly, all three of us finished in four years, no matter what it took.  (#223)  I am sooo proud of her.

The events of the weekend further confirmed future plans I had already been contemplating.  (#224)

We celebrated Mother's Day(#225) and my mom's promotion (#226) on Sunday with family.  

And we were saved from disasters that could have been much worse, like witnessing a fatal accident (we stopped for cheese just in time) (#227) and finding a scorched pillow that could have easily turned into a fire. (#228)

We had lots of laughs...including my aunt's impromptu pedicure for my cousin...because his toenails were dirty.  (#229)

The weekend finished off with a little Cinco de Mayo fun (#230)

and my sister scouring through lots of graduation cards with a friend. (#231)
