Thursday

Last night, my sisters boyfriend/friend Charlie slept over. He will be leaving for Ireland through the company EMC on friday. Not sure how long he is going for, but we all wish him the best. Good luck Charlie!

My sister recently graduated from Umass-Amherst. She was also accepted to Law School-- I believe she is going to Eastern New England College of Law. She is really excited and she worked extremely hard to get where she is today.

We left for her graduation at 8:15 am last Saturday. We got there and immediately had to begin walking to the stadium to get good seats. Well, there were a lot of buses going that way so we decided to take a bus rather than walk. Basically, when we got there, there were a lot of people there.. 2 hours later and the entire stadium was packed. My sister graduated and then we had to go to her major's tent to pick up a bunch of her awards, etc. On our way back, Charlie came with us and he gave us all a ride up to where our car was. Time to pack up Beth's things! That took FOREVER. It was pretty dusty in there so my nose was going absolutely insane. I wasn't much help.

After we packed and were on our way home, we stopped by a restuarant called Lad's. It was allright-- I wasn't too hungry and I was ridiculously burned from the graduation.

The following day, Sunday.. we had a party! A lot of people came. My grandparents, Bryan (= , Charlie, my Aunt Debbie and my Uncle Ralph, their kids.. one of which calls me her best friend, we are I really miss them. Some more cousins from my dad's side, my moms friends Mrs. Chic and Mrs. Choineire. My mom's friend Mrs. Bean and her son Kevin who is my brothers best friend and her other son Mikey.

It was a blast-- we played games! I got chased around by squirt guns, (thanks Bryan!!!) We played wiffle ball and later on at night my sister and her friends and Bryan played water pong (not beer pong) with my little cousins!! The girls, Annabelle, Amelia and I stayed inside and watched Enchanted. Amelia fell asleep on me and Annabelle was leaning on me. It was pretty cute haha. Annabelle then wanted a peice of cake-- so I convinced her that since our cake was half chocolate half vanilla, that this teeenie piece of half chocolate half vanilla was like eating two pieces. She was so happy and said, " I knew I could get two pieces of cake out of you". It was about 9:30 and everyone left.. I miss my Best Friend Annabelle-- but she will be back! Later on my sister's friends came over and had a fire in our firepit in our backyard. I wasn't willing to go outside, so Bryan and I stayed in. I was exhausted.

Overall we had an amazing time. My grandmothers fought over Bryan, one sat on his lap and took a picture of them. The other called her a hussy. It was a funny day. I miss everyone, though. I don't get to see them very often.
