Graduation and a Puppy!

My Friday was crazy busy!!!! First of all, I had to work and eat :)

.

Breakfast banana and Clif.

Snack almonds.

Lunch

Afternoon snack Zone bar.

When I got home I grabbed a string cheese and a few pepperoni slices.

Then I got into the whole grain Wheat Thins!! Why?? We were super excited to go pick up our new puppy! It was just nervous, excited munching. Wasted calories!!!!!

Here he is!! My husband's new dog. We have a yellow lab, Nitro, who is 9. My husband was hoping he would be a hunting dog. Crazy, but our lab neither retrieves or likes water!!! Nitro is the PERFECT family dog!! He is so sweet and laid back. John has been wanting a Chesapeake Bay Retriever for a long time now and things just have a way of being meant to be!! I will post more on the new puppy tomorrow. 

Our youngest daughter, Taylor was graduating high school tonight and we needed to get dinner on and get ready!! All while playing with a puppy!!

I quickly made whole wheat spaghetti, ground turkey with basil sauce. Really good! This is a salad size plate. No bread for me.

There she is, Taylor! The baby of the family. Graduated with honors. 

My silly daughters. They have all made us so proud.

John and I with the grad.

Sweet girl.

It was a very late night. Enjoyed some strawberries before heading up to bed. Early morning with my running group so I needed to get some sleep!!

College Graduate!

So excited for daughter #3, Kelsey Ann. Today, she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Maryland!!

Kelsey

My four daughters! We now have 3 college graduates to brag about and we will be sending off our forth daughter in the fall for her freshman year. Crazy how time flies. When they were little, everyone would say, "Enjoy them while they are young....they grow up fast!" I was so exhausted then, that I thought that would never happen!! Well guess what?? It did and I could not be more proud.

My family. Love them!

Proud parents...

After the graduated we went to celebrate at a favorite restaurant. Obviously, no one was looking!!

We made her wear her cap during lunch!!

We had a great day!!! It was an early graduation so it was nice to go and have a wonderful celebration lunch afterward. Everyone was able to take off work and we enjoyed the entire day together. No workout today. Just family time:) Too much exciting stuff going on but I have continued to take pics of my daily eats and I will start that back up tomorrow. I am sure I consumed way too many calories, but this was the time to enjoy and not feel guilty about it.
