Time Flies!!

WOW. It has been a while since my last post... Just about a month. That should be a strong indication of how busy I have been lately! So much to catch up on.

1. I wrapped up Summer school. I am not sure if I will teach it again next year. It was exhausting! But once my paycheck comes in, I may have a different opinion.
2. I took my 8-12 mathematics certification test (it was so hard- I fould myself in tears 3 different times) AND I PASSED it! Phew! One less thing to worry about.
3. My mom came in to town at the beginning of July and has been here since!
4. My dress also came in. It is BEAUTIFUL. :)
5. We got back our first-time homebuyers tax credit. Hallelujah!
6. We met with our wedding planners (ie Matt's mom and her friends) and everything is in order for our big day. We have a few loose ends to tie up, but other than that, we are good to go! I guess we really are getting married!
7. Our invitations are going out tomorrow. Wowsers.
8. We had our first shower at my grandma's church in tiny Tool, Texas. Her friends really out-did themselves and gave us a wonderful shower. We got our Keurig!!! It is EVERYTHING it's cracked up to be. Seriously.

Hmm... I guess that's about it. Needless to say, we have not slowed down since summer hit.
Tomorrow morning (bright and early if my grandma has anything to do with it), we are leaving for Ruidoso, New Mexico. My grandparents bought a cabin out there last year. I am SO looking forward to 70 degree temps and some R&R with my family. It is MUCH needed.

On a sidenote, Saturday is the anniversary of my Uncle Bruce's death. It's hard to believe he's been gone for a year. It seems like yesterday... Please keep my family, especially my dad and my cousins Sarah and Emilee in your prayers. It will be a hard day for everyone.

Much love.
