My Abuelo (Grandpa for all you non-Spanish speakers), my Titi (Auntie) Nina, my Titi (Linda), and my cousins Jeremiah & Manny all came in to GA for graduation. I was extremely happy that family came to visit me, however I will admit considering that I come from a family which consists of eight aunts & uncles + numerous cousins, it was a let down that so few of my family members made the effort to come to visit me. With that said, I made the best of celebrating my graduation & it definitely paid off. Immediately after graduation, we set off to find somewhere to eat lunch at. We headed over to Macaroni Grill, but as soon as we got into the parking lot I decided that I really wanted to head to my favorite restaurant ever, Carrabba's!!!!! lol. When we went there we ironically saw Davis (Mr. "Good-bye Forever") and his family eating dinner. I had all my favorites fried zucchini and calamari. Then I tried a new dish which I didn't really care for (lol that's what I get for not sticking with wh
at I know). But overall I was so happy for the food, family & fellowship. At lunch, I received the first of my graduation presents, a card with some $$ from Abuelo & a card with some money from my immediate family. Then we headed home to get ready for my other graduation parties. I had been invited to several & planned on bringing my family with me to several of them. The first party that we headed to was that of my next door neighbor's, Joe (left). His family set up a low country broil (which looked super yum, but I was still stuffed from Carrabbas) in the back yard complete with a festive white tent, lots of family members, and drinks (haha I sound like an advertiser). It was really good to see all of Joe's extended family members (Aunts, Uncles, Grandparent & cousins) as well as some neighbors who I only see in passing. After stopping to snap some pictures, swap grad gifts, and talk we headed of to the next party. Next we hopped into the car to drive over to Valerie's house, who lives down the street from me. I would have walked, but in this Georgia heat & painful grad heels

ally enjoyed the car ride up to FU (lol). We drove through McCormick, SC and I got to see parts of SC which I've never seen before. With the exception of a little trouble with directions when we reached the city of Greenville, we had a smoothe ride to the concert complete with corny jokes from Suzanne's mom :) When we reached Greenville we stopped at McDonald's and jumped into line so that we'd be in the front of the concert. For those of you who don't know, me & Drake are gonna get married. We're meant to be. So best believe we were in the third row of the concert on the floor of the venue. I must admit that initially I had misgivings about this concert. Since Drake doesn't have an official album, I wasn't quite sure what songs he would perform. Plus, almost all of his songs have Wayne in them, who unfortunately is in jail (oh well lol). On top of that it took Drake a whopping two hours to get his fine behind onto stage. This weird band whose lead singer had more hair spray than a cheerleader and more hair volume than a model opened for an hour. The lead singer kept thrusting in the air & literally no one at the concert knew who he was lol. Then K-OS, an alternative rapper, performed for another hour. He was pretty great. Now I must admit that after two hours I was a little upset. I felt like I had wasted my money on this concert. However, all my anger quickly disappeared when Drake stepped onto the stage. I mean he is cute in his photos, but he is GORGEOUS live. He has the best smile ever. He perfor
