Since I haven't posted in like 2 months I figured I would now.

Nothing too exciting has happened so there isn't much to say. I finished up school on the 4th. Graduation was on Saturday which was hard since all my friends graduated and I didn't. I know that it was a good decision to change majors but it was still hard on Saturday knowing I should have been out there.

The 4th was my last day at the primary school. It was soo hard. I cried, my kids cried and my teacher cried. I had gotten so attached to them it was so hard to leave. I had also gotten really close with my teacher. She invited me over to her house twice for dinner with her family. I don't think I have ever felt that comfortable at someone elses house before, especially eating with 4 other people I had never met before. I'm going up there today for the kids' PTA program. I can't wait to see all of them. I don't know if they know I'm coming or not but I'm sure they will be excited.

I went for a job interview the next Monday and started the job on Tuesday which is where I am now. I am the receptionist at the Diocesean office where the Bishop has his office. It's an okay job. It's $8 an hour so I can't complain. Kinda boring most of the time so I just sit and look at the same website over and over and hope for emails. Kinda sad...

Last Thursday I drove down and picked up Cole from college. The campus is really pretty but I still have a hard time with him going there. He's happy so I guess that's all that matters. I don't know what is going to happen between him and Jamie but sometimes I wish he would see what else is out there. It seems like his whole life evolves around her and he doesn't really have his own set of friends to hang out with. They all seem to be her friends that he has become friends with. Who knows what will happen. I guess whatever is meant to be will be.

I'm in town for the summer so if anyone knows of anything exciting going on please let me know.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Jamie- I can't wait to see pics from my dresses you borrowed! I'm glad they worked.

Okay...so it has been a really long time since I've updated.

Last week was my Spring Break. I went to Myrtle Beach with two girls from school. It was a much needed break. Pictures will be up soon.

I picked up my bridesmaid dress last Friday and tried it on tonight. It fits!

Found out another one of my friends is engaged and I'm in her wedding too. Not sure the details of that one but it will be dress number 3 for me. Oh well. It is worth every penny.

Well, I'm off to bed since I've been up since 6:20 this morning.  I had to take a test at 7:30. Last day tomorrow of my break. Kinda sad but at least I know it's the last leg of the semester and it has definitely been a good one.

Hope everyone is well.

I figured it was time for an update. It's been a while so I'm not going to update since then just the hi-lights.

Jamie got her dress! And she picked out the bridesmaid dresses! Which I think I'm gunna go get mine next weekend, possibly.

The wedding is going to be great! I absolutely love weddings! I'm so excited.

I'm student teaching now, or doing the first part of it. I have a classroom of 16 second graders. It's a lot of fun but they are definitely a handfull. And I love every minute of it!

Last night at my church thing, the minister read some thing about the differences between a career and a calling. After listening to it, I can honestly say that teaching is my calling.

It's going to be a stressful semester but a good one. It would be nice if I was graduating in May but oh well. It's going to be worth it.

Well, I guess that's it for now. I'm glad it's the weekend.

Christmas was good. We had Christmas Eve dinner a night early at my grandparents house. I graduated to the "adult" table this year! That's when you know you are growing up. Christmas Eve. We went to church to watch the Christmas Pagent which Emily was in. Then we went to my aunt's for an open house. It was pretty boring so we left early.

Christmas morning we got up at 7:30 thanks to Emily. She still believes in Santa so it's still pretty fun. I guess there's not too many years left of that. We opened our stockings and presents at our house. I got a keyboard (the piano type) which is a lot of fun to play with. And also speakers for my iPod. After we got ready we went to my aunt's and uncle's house to celebrate with my dad's side of the family. And after that we went to my grandparent's house (my mom's side). We got home that night about 11 and packed for South Carolina.

Monday we left for SC at about 6am. We got down there about 9:30. Hung out w/ my grandparents and saw some of my mom's cousins and also my great aunt and uncle. We also saw Chronicles of Narnia, good movie. We left Wednesday and headed home.

Yesterday I didn't do much. Went to dinner w/ Austin. Saw tons of people at the bar at Applebee's. Most looked at both of us funny and didn't say anything. Did get a wave from Lori Hodges. I guess people don't expect to see Austin and I drinking. And I'm sure both of us have changed a bit since high school, or at least I hope so.

I just want to add how excited I am about Jamie's wedding! It's going to be so much fun and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure it's her day and nothing goes wrong. We are hoping to go shopping next week! I"m so excited!!!!  Jamie if you read this before I talk to you again. My appointment is Monday so I can go Tuesday or Wednesday. Or both. Just let me know.

Hope everyone is doing well.
