Alabama...woohoo!

Today Leo and I loaded up the truck (my car is still out of commission) and headed west to Birmingham. My little sister Lori graduated from Samford University! What a super reason for Beau's first out-of-state adventure. I'm sorry I don't have any funny stories to tell, but thankfully all doodies stayed in the diaper (naturally, because I actually was prepared this time). Other than trying to breast-feed in the Chick-fil-A parking lot (I will spare you those details, however) it was a pretty easy, uneventful, nice day.

My sister Lori...
Lori graduated Suma Cum Laude with a degree in Music Education. To me, though, this awesome academic accomplishment is just scraping the surface of the amazing woman my sister is. She truly walks the walk, ya'll. I couldn't be prouder of my bestest friend. I'm so excited to have her back in Atlanta - She'll be starting grad school at Emory.

Some pictures of the day. I had a lot more, but it turns out I was taking a bunch of pictures of some random girl I thought was Lori. Oops. Hey, we were sitting far away.

This is what he did the entire two hours there and most of the way home.
