WHEW!!

WHEW!! Im finally done with VBS and pretty much on the downhill side of the summer!! I recieved my contract in the mail last Wednesday which was a nice change from my great nephew's funeral that I attended earlier that afternoon. Its really been a whirlwind of emotions that came with the passing of Jude and Jacob. I feel that the boys are hanging out and playing with Clara keeping each other company until we are there to be with them.
On happier notes...I am finally getting most of my wedding planning done. I have Save-the-Dates ready to go and pass out. VBS was a very busy time and wasn't any easier considering that I've been having an allergic reaction to something that I have no idea....so Friday I finally went to the doctor to figure out whats causing this reaction...while they didn't know they did give me some meds to stop the reaction from happening anymore and told me to wait for it to flare again and then go to the Allergy specialist to get tested. Im really not looking forward to that but they said that it could be a Heat Reaction and if so then I might save myself from the needles!

Well that is all I have for the moment....we've kinda had a very slow and easy life lately and its been nice!!

Quick Update!!

Well this week has been Davids first offical week working all week...and I've been gearing up for VBS next week...David comes home and I start waking up so that I can be at church for decorating...and let me tell you these guys are doing a GREAT job at it...well I am off to bed...hopefully I'll have pictures soon!!

New Possibilities!!

Well its offical I am a Pre-K teacher at Loctus. I signed my letter agreement last week along with filling out my pre-employment packet along with setting up my Employment Orientation session!! I am super excited about my future job which offically begins August 17th. But am a tad sad at that thought that I won't be seeing David as much as I am used too. He will continue working at BCBS while adding a new job...being a Greeter at Conway Freight!! David starts tomorrow night so from 12pm to 6 am I will be by myself at home and in the future he'll be working 3 pm to 6 am while I work 7 am to 4 pm. We're both excited about what the future holds for us and getting to where we'd love to be!!
Along with new jobs we also decided to take the carpet up in our hallway and found out that its awesome. So from there we continued that same evening ripping up the carpet in our living room. On Sunday we went to Lowe's to look at some finishing touches that we'd like to make to our house. We picked out the stain for the hardwood, tile for the kitchen, kitchen cabinets and paint colors for the accent wall in our livingroom!! Yes we have lots to do along with all the planning needed for the wedding but I am happy to say that I have picked out Bridesmaid dresses and flower girl dresses.

On top of all of that I am slowly getting VBS ready to go...we've had about 16 kids sign up and have all our teaching staff picked along with many crew leaders.

Graduations & More!!!

Yesterday we went to Maddie's Pre-K graduation and then later that night I went to Lauren's highschool graduation which was also her 18th birthday!! Maddie's graduation was certainly one of the cutest graduations I've seen. I also got one of the greatest phones calls in a while!! The H.R. Personnel director called to say that I offically got the Pre-K teaching job!! We are both excited about our future and what it holds for us....new job, new classroom, and a wedding!!! We are also just a couple days out of finding out if David got his second job...there are so many new things happening in our lives!!

This morning David went to see Louie's first t-ball game...Im really sad that I wasn't able to go but David made sure to take plenty of pictures so that I could see how he did.

Photography Really!?!?

O-WOW!! I think thats about all I can say for the moment about photography!! I've started looking into photographers for the wedding and its quite overwhelming...there are so many out there. I guess I should start calling to see on the availablity of some of these photographers but first I need to discuss with David how much we're actually willing to spend because I think $7500 is just way way to much for anyones pictures. Some may think thats a decent price but OMIGOSH no!! Well I am super excited about my double graduations tomorrow!! Yes I said double!! I have my Maddie and my first niece that I got to be with Lauren!! One from preschool and the other from Highschool!!

Just 2 more steps!!

Well we've done some more work on the room and we just have two more steps and we'll be done!! FINALLY!!! Trey helped David this weekend get the painting and trim work done. Tim and David busted out the texture so that we were able to get everything done this weekend!! We just want to say Thank You to all who helped!! This is what the room looked like before and now this is what it looks like!! The only things we need left is carpet, laminate and painting the trim. I am really excited that we've gotten so close to being done.

This morning I went with Norma & Ori to look at some James Avery jewelry that they were getting!! Our plans for today are to relax, rest and start putting up all the tools we used on the room. I am happy to say that I found some invitations for the wedding that I like now just to get with David to see what he likes. Im finally getting everything together for the wedding and now just to start actually buying the stuff!!

Well we're planning on watching movies and Im gonna finish up on the save the dates!! Happy Memorial Day to all!!
