Jeremy and I spent the weekend back in Alabama (hopefully for the last time) at graduation!
Finally, it is over!
Here are the obligatory million family pictures...
Us with the Brannocks:
Us with my mom:
Us with the Cox family:
The whole gang:
With Dad & Mindy:
And joking around with the siblings:
We arrived Friday with my mom, and we immediately grabbed James and Josh and went to have some beers at a bar called Rhythm & Brews. After that, we met up with Dad and Mindy, along with our friend Steven, from Anniston, for dinner at a wonderful Italian place called DePalmas.
The graduation ceremony Saturday morning went quickly. Apparently, UA no longer welcomes speakers due to an incident that occurred a year ago. From what we were told, a speaker made some political comments and it got ugly. He was booed offstage and had to have a police escort out of the building.
Only in Alabama...
After lunch and a quick, much-needed nap, we all went to the Brannock's hotel and had some drinks and pool time.
Here's Josh:
The Cox twins:
Mom (along with Josh's floating head):
The guys hanging out in the hot tub:
And the ladies chatting on dry land:
After the pool, we all got dressed up and went for a great dinner at a Shakespearean-themed restaurant, called The Globe. Everything was delicious, and the company was outstanding.
Now, our whirlwind weekend is over, and it's time to start thinking about the next step.
Jeremy's job is going really well, and we're loving Jacksonville.
I start orientation at UF on Monday, and classes begin the following week. I'm nervous, but feeling good.
But for now, I'm enjoying the last precious moments of vacation time before my life becomes insane again!

Congratulations to you both!
Thanks for sharing ...
Congrats, guys! We're so glad to have you back in Florida.
Dude, also, how did you manage to get a photo of the entire family and not one person is blinking/looking funny? I thought that was like a once in a lifetime event.
