kristen graduates.

my sister. little sister that is. who i remember wearing diapers. graduated from high school this summer.  my dad flew us out to omaha for the occasion.  those nebraskans really go all out on graduations.  my dad and stepmom held a house party the day before she graduated.  i guess this is a common thing.  to cater in food, rent tables, balloons, sheet cakes.  kinda crazy.  but it was great to see all of that side of my family and to meet a lot of her friends. 



my omaha neighbor friend, laura.  i haven't been able
to see her in three years bc of college and her
teaching job in china.  it was so great to see her.




my sis has an awesome voice. she was allstate choir.
something i wasn't blessed with!

 we were also able to go to some great places to eat. love the cheese frenchy. and my dad took us to the zoo because i haven't been able to go in a few years and i love that place. the omaha zoo is awesome really. like the fourth best zoo in the united states.



ok. this gorilla was so naughty. she is doing something
that we never though we'd see a gorilla do.



dad and sis on the skytram.





this little guy was our favorite. he was so funny
and active.
