Festival of Marriage: The theme of the weekend was Being to busy. When your life becomes so busy that you don't have time to live it any more only run to try and make it through alive. So before we even left, Brad and I had a tift. We got a late start and Brad needed to go to wal-mart, and that was going to make us late.. and you all know how much I like to be late. So we tiffed.. went to EW JAmes which we didn't know would be open that early and ended up being the first ones there. So we both felt bad. We left the church at 7:00 Am. Drove an hour, stopped and fixed the window on the bus that was coming out. Then drove another hour, stopped at OutDoor World to use the restroom and let the men enjoy a chance to look at manly things before a weekned of touchy-feely girly stuff. Then drove another hour, stopped for lunch at Taco bell. (driving through the mts. in a bus makes you quessy. It was not fun) we played Catch Phrase on the Bus to distract everyone form the road. Anyway de...

Okay last week Monday: School(4:00), Class, Tudesday: School(5:00) at the teachers meeting they told us that me and my math teacher and one other had been chosen to do a new math program along with the one we are doing now (Carnagie Math) basically it is more work and we have to try and get whole class computer time three days a week.. that should be esay, NOT, Class, Volleyball (Won 2-0) Wednesday: School (4:00), WW (+.6) so that is not going well, Dinner, church choir. Thrusday: school (until 5:30), Home for dinner, then back out to drop off Key for my parents with Evan, Air mattress with SOnya and Joel, who got a cat, so brad can no longer go to their hosue. Which means Thanksgiving will defintaly be at our house this year. Then home to do more landry, watch Survivor, and then pack for the Festival of marriage. Friday- Sunday: The Festival of marriage. The next Blog will be all about that. :)

Okay I am really behind, so it might take a while to catch up, but I will attempt it. The week off. Monday: Dropped James off at the Army. Then we went and played games with Brittany and David for more hours than we planned. Tuesday: We did nothing all day, then played Volleyball at night and then I went to bunco. Wednesday: Went to Lexington for some shopping, then had dinner out and went home and vegged somemore Thrusday: we did nothing worth noting all day long. Firday: Nothing in the morning, then went to Play a role play game at Davids and we were there until 4 in the morning. Saturday: recovered from teh night before. Sunday: church, then brad went to games, I went to brad's aunt baby shower, then we met at the church picnic with his parents then home for relaxings.

So my brother James left for the Army on Monday. Brad and I picked him up and dropped him off at the Recruiting office from which he was leaving. It was a sad fairwell. He was trying to be manly though he appeared scared to death. He also tried to show that he didn't need good byes, but was happy we were there. This departure was hard, because in the weeks leading up to his leaving James has had.. trials. He has needed alot of aid, monetary, as well as time from all of his family. It made it difficult. We shall miss him and pray that he comes back safe in sound, although at boot camp he will live even if it beats some of the pride out of him. :)

So I missed last week and totally forgot to blog. You may flog me later. Monday: School, Then I skiped night class to spend time with my mom. We went and bought her some new shoes (she bought me some too) and then we went to Starbucks drank Spiced Pumpkin lattes and talked for a long time. Tueday: School, A meeting after school at a differnt school for some new math stuff. They actually sat there and explained to us how to use the program we had already been using. SO a very big waste of time except that I got an hour of PD credit for it so that is good. THen I drove to subway, ate and then went to class took my test. Went to Volleyball. I can only play when class is before it or after it so not every week but I do love it. Wednesday: school, after school detention, WW (+1) so not great, then Brad and I went to the Indian Resturant. He did not like it at all. The Nan (Bread) was okay but his Chicken Korma he couldn't even eat. I felt bad. We went shopping then to choir. His bible s...

Okay, this week I have been thinking about my married life. (At this point several of you gaged and stopped reading.) SO it has been a year. If you had asked me two years ago if I would be married this year I wouldn't have believed it, but now I am and sometimes it still surpises me. Not only did I find someone who actually wanted to marry ME, but some one I wanted to marry as well. You got to admit the odds of that were not that good. :) Anyway I came home yesterday and the bed was made the dishes done, and my wonderful husband and I sat down to watch our Wed. night TV and it really made me think about how Blessed I am. I could go on and on, but then most of you would just tune me out so I will stop. I jsut wanted to mention it today as it is our first anniversary this year. One down 74 to go!!!

Monday: School, dinner, Test in class. And this is one of those professors who likes to give nice 100 question multiple chioce test, but hey I pulled an A so I will take it. Tuesday: School, Meeting, Class Wednesday: School, Missed WW cause it was so hectic, then went home and went to bed, I had a sore throat and didn't feel up to singing. Nanny went into the hospital with hemoraging and is not doing great. Thrusday: school then home to an empty house, brad was away at a conference and it was very scary and sad. I was really sick by then too, I had a fever and went to bed about 6 brad called at 8 and I talked to him for a minute then went back to sleep. Friday: only made it through half the day. I had a fever still and after an important meeting, I went home and went to bed. I didn't get up til brad got home around 8 that evening. Saturday was a Chick holiday special. James moved out of his apartment, mom came to town, James needed money, Just general running and crazyness. We ...
