Dalila's graduation

Mom, Dad, Grandma, and I went to Athens over the weekend to see Dalila's graduation from the University of Georgia. She is now Dr. Mathews! We had a great trip and got to spend some time with Charles and Lila, some of Lila's family, and our friends Thad and Kristy.

Proud sister-in-law to  
Lillian Dalila Mathews, PhD! 

P.S. -- I almost forgot the funniest part. Despite having the phonetic pronunciation provided to her, the lady announcing the graduates said "Da-LEE-la." (Dalila says she should have just written "Delilah" instead of trying to tell them DUH-lila.)

back in limbo

We've had another house inspected and have once again submitted repair requests to the seller. This is where the deal fell through last time, although there are almost no similarities between this contract experience and the last one. All communication has been timely and official this time around!

We can't help but be nervous, though, after getting burned by the irrational behavior of the seller in our first attempt. Hopefully we'll fare better this time! We probably won't hear back until tomorrow, when I will be en route to Georgia for my sister-in-law's graduation (PhD!). Glad my laptop is back to being trusty! (Thanks for that, Scott B.!)

Oooh, look, shiny things! 

our upcoming high school reunion

Ramsay High Class of 1990 is having its first-ever formal reunion in June, a few weeks after the 20th anniversary of our graduation. Jennifer Venable Humphrey and I have been on board since the beginning, but Mere and Jen Tomlin Bowman have had possible conflicts. Mere thinks she has worked hers out for at least part of the weekend, and today JTB booked her flight home from Oregon for that weekend! Yippee!

Now if we can make absolutely certain that Meredith can slip away from her other commitments on Saturday evening, we will all be there for the gala. One more things to cross fingers and hope for!
