Weekend Blessings!!

Ok, so Mark graduated May 1!! The ceremony was boring, but it made me proud to see him walk across the stage knowing he has accomplished the second goal he has set for himself in his education. His parents and his brother were there as well as a close friend of the family. I was pleasantly surprised when they were calling out the names and an old high school mate's name echoed in the Georgia Dome. Unfortunately, I was unable to say hello to her and her family, but Mark spoke to her and told her I was there. We went to a late dinner together to celebrate Mark's hard work and also look forward a year when we will be in the same place attending Mark's brother's graduation from GT. I am telling you that these Kajdos boys are going to produce more degrees together than there are members of the family! Both of them will not only achieve an undergraduate and Master's degrees, but Adam is planning on getting his PhD and Mark will be starting Law school in the Fall!

I cannot say enough about how proud I am of Mark's hard work these past several semesters. The long days and nights of attending class and working on project after project. It was not a rare occurance that I went to bed many, many hours before he closed his eyes just to wake at the same time as me and the Sun. Mark is not just a hard worker, but a dedicated student who enjoys what he is studying and committed to making sure he has the right answer every time no matter how many hours and pieces of paper it takes! This Fall he will be attending Law School at Alabama. I am convenced that he is thoroughly prepared to take on that challenge and excell in every class!

Sunday was our one year anniversary! I know! I cannot believe that it has been a year already! We are no longer newlyweds! But it is depressing to think that this time last year we were in the Virgin Islands sunning ourselves on the beach! A whole year to reflect on blessings and miscommunications! At least we were together and not long distance. To celebrate our one year accomplishment of both of us still living, we went to the Georgia Aquarium. It was something that neither of us had done before and we were both excited to spend that time together. We also decided to see the Titanic exhibit that was at the Georgia Aquarium. After walking around for about four hours we went to eat at Pappadeaux's. It is a Cajan seafood restaurant and it satisfied our desire for an excellant meal. We splurged and had a bottle of wine with our meal. My bedtime creeped up on us quickly after coming home and watching a movie together. All in all it was a wonderful day and a great weekend!
