Catch up

It has been almost a month since my last post. I swear I have tried, but the last one I tried to post something happened and it deleted all my writing. This made me really mad and I didn't want to have to retype everything. Basically, the blog won.

I have been crazy busy the past couple of weeks and it really doesn't look like it will die down until after the wedding. I guess that is what the honeymoon is for :)

I finally graduated with my Master's on Saturday May 23rd. I did not walk across stage and the more I think about it, the whole graduation process is a big waste of time. I get why people may want to walk across stage for their high school graduation and for their Bachelor's degree, but really it is all the same. A really hot gown, lots of people, speakers you don't listen to and those annoying people that blow airhorns despite the fact they are not supposed to and you can't hear the next persons name being called when they blow it. Anyways. . .so I have my degree. Graduating with my Master's made me think that I have never received my diploma from Salisbury. Stupid me must have missed that announcement. I hope they can still send me one in the mail or I can swing by and pick it up sometime this summer. What kind of administrator would I be not having all my diplomas framed and hung in my office?

My faculty is trying to throw me a "surprise" bridal shower. It would have worked out if the secretary had taken me off the all staff email she sent out telling people about it. Seriously??? I have never been surprised. It was a nice try I guess. . .

So my bridal shower is now on June 11th at the Mexico restaurant down the street from my school it starts at 3pm if anyone would like to come!

I am done with work in less than 2 weeks. I have 2 half days this week because of our county graduations and I don't have to come on friday since I am going to project grad. That is when all the graduating seniors go down to pax river for one last night of fun together. We leave the school at 9pm and don't get back until 4am. I have been asked to chaperone, or really just hang out and play. Friday my classes will be covered so I can go home and sleep. This works for me!!! I have so many things I can get done during the day on friday :)
All next week we have final exams and next friday is only for kids with makeup exams AND it is a half day. Then teachers come back for a final few hours on monday the 15th. This is so easy. All we have to do is check out with our administration and have a final staff meeting. All we do is say goodbye to all the people leaving the school. It's almost summer!

After school on the 12th I am leaving to go up to Ohio/PA for my "god" brother's wedding. Dave Lima is getting married! I am so excited for him. I am going up with my parents and my brother. Marvin can't go with me because he can't take off too much work before our big day and the honeymoon. Thank God I have my family and I'm not by myself. I would be so bored!!!

Marvin and I have to have all of our stuff moved out of the house by June 20th. I told my friend she can move in the weekend of the 20th. We want to be out earlier than that so the paint company from Ryan homes can come in and fix all the nail pops and settling cracks. So busy!!!

The new house is coming along. Marvin has a family friend that said he can come down and do the vents for us and a guy Marvin works with can move the plumbing in our guest bathroom. I wish I could have had everyone over so they could see what we started with and our end product. I hope it looks good when it's complete! We have worked so hard going to Lowe's and Home Depot picking out all the supplies. It has been fun, but I am ready for it to be over. You know one thing I hate about the new house. . . cutting the grass. This is a new thing in my world. I have never had to cut grass before. My Dad or my brother has always done it. Now I have no choice. I am the only one that has the time PLUS Marvin claims he is allergic to grass. That is a good one, I should have thought about that excuse :)

Bachelor/Bachelorette party June 20th! The boys will starts at Jim's with a cookout and the girls will start at my mom's and will then be moving to dinner somewhere in Baltimore. After our seperate parts we will all meet up in Federal Hill so we can all hang out. We decided to have a joint party for a couple different reasons. One, we thought it would be nice to have it the same night so we aren't sitting at home wondering what trouble the other one is getting into. My nanny says alcohol leads to nothing but trouble. This way we can also go home together :) Another reason is believe it or not, Marvin was the one that did not want ME going to a strip club. I have already been there done that so it wasn't a big deal, but when his guys heard he doesn't want to go to a strip club, of course they think it is all my fault. I have not forbid Marvin from going, but he does not want to go. We as a couple decided we were not going to strip clubs. I just hope our wedding party respects our decision as a couple. Funny how all the boys were jumping down my throat at the shower trying to get me all worked up about Marvin possibly going to the strip club. My brother being the worst one. Lets just put it this way, Marvin is satisfied with what he has at home and doesn't need to go out and look at white trash naked ladies begging for his money. Back to the reason of why we are having a joint party. Marvin and I have been so busy lately, I can't remember the last time we went out drinking and dancing. We thought it would be fun to celebrate together. Another reason is we have lots of friends that are dating. This way they can also hang out with their special someone :)

The wedding is only 25 days away! We are almost there! We still have to meet with some of the vendors to finalize some things, but it looks like it is all wrapping up! Hope everyone can make it :)
