Happy Birthday Vince!!!

Happy 22nd Birthday to my son Vince! I couldn't be any prouder of my handsome and SUPER smart son! He just finished up his last college finals and will graduate later this year with a double major in Political Science and Economics and a minor in Statistics. I really would love to brag about all the honors he's graduating with but he gets really embarrassed when I brag about him so trust me when I say he's made me a very proud mom! He's taking a short break and then on to Graduate School to get a Ph.D. and plans to be a College Professor!

I can't believe he's 22, where has the time gone?

Some day some lucky girl will be blessed to be his wife! My daughter's birthday was in December, too. Lauren is a darling, beautiful girl , also. Have a good weekend!
