Graduation weekend went by so quickly. We were so glad that both of our families were here to celebrate with us. Friday was the Education Commissioning service, along with Baccalaureate. Saturday morning was graduation followed by a wonderful lunch with our family. On Sunday our church did a special presentation for the graduates including entertaining pictures from our childhood. Of course our parents willingly gave up embarrassing pictures of us without our knowledge. The weekend was very eventful and enjoyable, however, it was nice to catch a breather after it was over.
We had two wonderful days with NOTHING to do before May Term started, and it was amazing. Darren and I got to hang out with friends and experience a few peaceful days before classes started. After a hectic semester with student teaching and Darren's class and work schedule, it was nice for us to be able to relax.
Darren started his May Term class today which will finish up on the 25th of this month. Then we'll leave that night to make our trip to Gastonia. We are so excited to start this new journey together. Darren and I will be working with youth and young adults at our new church, and we are anxious to get started. We're also excited about moving into our new place in North Carolina. We started packing up things in boxes today, and I will be glad when we are finished packing and then unpacking once we arrive. I made a countdown for us to count down the days until we move. Only 19 more days until we move, and in 20 days we'll be at our new home in Gastonia.
I took a break from packing earlier to make triple chocolate fudge brownies, and they are delicious! I think it's time for bed, after I finish my midnight snack.
