Mom and I made it safely back from our 3rd Annual Spring Break Trip to Southern Indiana! We took off early last Saturday (6:30ish) for my Aunt and Uncle's. Mom retired from her full time teaching position three years ago and we decided we'd finally take a "spring break" trip. We love spending time going to flea markets and antique malls...and my Aunt Kris told us they have dozens down by her...so we were convinced! We love it!
I found lots of good deals this year. I bought several vases for wedding centerpieces (now if I can just figure out what to put in them! HA!). I also found several things for the house. I bought a few pictures and even an old chalkboard. As you all know, I love reading blogs! One of the blogs I read, Kelly's Korner, wrote about her inspirational quote board one time....and I decided I wanted something similiar. One of the things I was most excited about teaching was getting to write with chalk on an actual chalkboard...I used to love going to my mom's classroom and writing all over her board....then I graduated from college, was hired for my very first "adult" job, and discovered NO CHALKBOARDS! Oh well...it was just one of the things I was excited about! SO NOW....I'll get to write with chalk on my little chalkboard.
We went to Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and several other crafty stores to look for wedding deals....things are coming together folks! 99 days from today I'll be getting married! WHOA!!!!! That is crazy! I am super excited though! No worries guys, we'll get the tuxes figured out soon! HA :)
I love spending time with my Aunt Kris. She is m Godmother and I love her! She has been having some serious health problems these past three or so years....she was diagnosed with early onset Alheizmer's and it is progressing quickly. There is still so much to learn about this deadly disease, and I want to do my part in helping out. Kris is such and amazing woman, mother, aunt, and grandmother and I hate knowing what is happening to her! I really wish we lived closer to them (seven hours is just way too far!). I will be only four hours away from them once I get married, so maybe I can get over there more than just once a year.
I found out I am Teacher of the Week for the second time this school year! YAY!
Alrighty, I'm off to enjoy my last few days of Spring Break. Brian is on his way tonight and we meet with Monsignor tomorrow morning! Pray for us! HA! No it will be awesome!
