SHOWERS
It all started Friday. I left the house at 4 am to get to the airport. After some flight delays, I actually ended up on a different flight which got in 1 hour earlier than it was supposed to. That was a sign for a good weekend to come (or maybe God just knew I was already overcommitted for this weekend and an extra hour would help). That evening Erin, Annette, and I with alot of help from other family members hosted a shower for Elizabeth (my future sister-in-law) and Kellie (my cousin).
The hostesses and honor guests after a full night of eating sugar (From L to R, my sister Annette, me, my cousin Erin, cousin Kellie, and sister-in-law Elizabeth).
The finished dessert bar. We had the two showers back to back. All in all we hosted about 50 women. 
This is the panic before Aunt Marchel got home and saw what a disaster her house was. Her "freak out" when she walked is now famous, but priceless.
Kellie may kill me for this picture, but we had to have some time between showers to take a load off.
The honored couples.
GRADUATIONS
The next phase of the weekend was graduation parties and ceremonies. My cousin Cathryn and my sister Annette both graduated. They were the last ones on both sides of my family. They will actually go on the be roommates next year at Sterling College. I forgot my camera for Cathryn's graduation, but here are some from Annette's. I tried to tell her to smile sweetly, but the girl has a mind of her own. I suppose that is not all bad. That trait will probably serve the girl just fine in college.
She received exactly what she wanted for graduation- an iBook.
Shortly after receiving her diploma. 
A new graduate.
MOTHER'S DAY WITH THE ENSZsThe extended Ensz family was fortunate enough to be together for Mother's Day including Grandma Ensz. Here is John and me with my mom. Happy Mother's Day mom!
PLAYDATEFinally, what trip to Kansas is complete without a playdate with the nieces? We went over to Lorin and Sandee's to play and catch up with the Trusketts.
