Weddings and Lately

As you know I've been home for a while now (about a month and a half), and I've slept SO good, with no neighbors stomping around at all hours above me, no bass thumping obnoxiously below me, no lovers making whoopy in the room next to me, and no obsessive-compulsive, power-hungry, control-freak, high-maintenance roommate. And........

I GOT THE APARTMENT I WANTED!!! A couple weeks ago they called and said they have a one-bedroom available to me for the fall. I am SO excited to have my own place. My prayers worked :-)

My sister's and Brian's wedding was absolutely fantastic. The ceremony was beautiful and sweet, I didn't fall walking down the aisle, the pictures Jake took are absolutely amazing and better than many professional wedding photos, the reception was extremely fun with everyone (kids, teens, young adults, middle-aged adults, and seniors) ALL dancing, the DJ played great music, the food was DELISH, my mom's cake was beautiful, everyone liked my toast, and everyone just had a great time all around. The party finally ended around 11:30 pm, and we got back home around 12:30 am. It was hard to go back to work last Monday after such an incredible weekend.

I'm on a lunch break from work right now. I like my job a lot. It can be challenging at times, like with fighting children, sensitive children who cry about everything, and children who want to run away. But I like it nonetheless. Tomorrow we take them on a bowling field trip which will likely be MADNESS. And interesting...5 and 6 year olds trying to bowl. My dad's 50th birthday is on Friday! I have to work, but I think I'm taking him to lunch and we're throwing him a surprise party on Sunday. We're pretty sure he knows about it though...
The YMCA is practically the only office/organization/whatever open on Friday, because many places are recognizing that Friday for July 4th. Oh well.

I'll blog more later, but I have to get back to work soon. Have a happy week!
