New Post..
What to write about....
One would think that I have a ton to write about since it has been so long but it feels like there has been so much that I don't have the time to write everything. And I thought I was going to have a boring relaxing summer. There has continuously been something popping up. Not bad stuff, but it just hasn't slowed down.
Tomorrow is my initial dress fitting. I saw the dress today but couldn't put it on. I have to wait another 25 hours till my dress fitting. My maid of honor tried on her dress and she wanted to see my dress. It was the biggest tease ever! To see but not really touch. Soon and very soon though.
All the invitations are out. Or at least in the mail now. Feels good to have those done. Things are starting to come together. Now I just need to work on getting rid of the bad tan lines I have already gotten. I tan so fast. A couple days out in the sun and I already have horrible tank top lines. Need to work on those. I don't think anyone will mind if I lay out in the backyard topless. That's on tomorrow's to do list! hehehe
My best friend is up here today. It has been WAY too long since we have been able to just hang out together. Tonight we are going to go out for a little bit. We have been running errands all day and she went out to eat with her family tonight so that's why I have time to write.
Being in Aberdeen for the summer hasn't been so bad. I was here for a few weeks and then off gallivanting around South Dakota last week. I got back here yesterday and will head down to Mitchell/Sioux Falls area on Sat again as soon as we are done with premarital counseling. Another thing to check off my list.
At one point I had interesting things to write and some good thoughts but they seem to go every time I get around a computer. Better luck next time I guess.
I'll try to write more. July will hopefully slow down a little.... I know.. a girl can dream!

Life Is Good
My last shift at the infodesk for a while, at least a year and 3 months and it feels good!
I have successfully, I want to say wasted but that really isn't the word, used up maybe is a better word. I have successfully used up 2 1/2 hours by surfing the net and updating my profiles. Life is good! I haven't even played any addicting internet games yet.
My parents came last night. It was late when they got here. Well late for them, 10:45pm ish. It's going to be different getting use to living in the same house that is for sure. Or at least the first few weeks will be a little bit of a strain. I did purposely fill a lot of time to help ease the transition a little more. This move makes me a little nervous but I think will be the best in the end. If worse comes to worse I go and hang out in Sioux Falls.
I am down another 4 lbs. So that's awesome. That now brings me to a total of 40lbs lost. It feels so much better to eat healthier and get exercise. I have struggled my whole life with weight and not knowing what I was doing wrong. I am so thankful for the tools to educate myself more and the people around me to help support me. I am closer to my goal of 15 in 4 and I am still on track even though I would be very happy with where I'm at now. My short and long term goal is just to be healthy.
One of my best friends from High School sent me his itinerary for his flight home for my wedding. I am so excited to see him and spend time with him before the wedding. He will get into Aberdeen on the 15th. I just want some good catch up time. He has lived in DC since the Fall of 2000 and it has been a couple of years since we have really had some good catch up, talk time. I really miss that catch up time. I think my favorite part about this wedding is hearing about the people who are really making an effort to come and who I get to spend time with.
So moral of the story is... Life Is Good. or at least right now... and I will take that for the time being. Some more of my little apartment to pack up and tomorrow is moving day. On to the next new adventure. As much as it is hard to move on and to go through change it is always fun and exiting to wonder about the future and the wonderful people God will place along the way.

My sorta day off
It's been a good day. I had all morning and afternoon off to get some things done that needed to be done. I slept till 9:15am. Tried to sleep longer but it's hared when I am use to getting up at 6:45 every morning. I did a little packing, I watched a fun movie, Derailed. It was a little slow but in the end really good. I went through papers that needed to either be thrown or filed. It feels good to get rid of piles and to throw things.
I went through some old picture albums. I love pictures. Well, most of them I love. There are always those old bad pictures when you were a kid. I wonder why my mom let me leave the house looking like that. And the glasses. Yuck and Yuck. They were always too big for my face. I'm going to make sure and dress my kids better then that... not that they have to be fashionable but really, not looking like I did sometimes. It's always fun to reminisce and look back years past. That's the best thing about pictures, they bring back so many wonderful memories.
And now I'm at work from 3:30-9:30. I'm just glad I had the day off.

Weird People Day
Oh the jokes people make that they think:
a) are funny
b) are unique
c) I need to hear
It's been one of those days. The afternoon has gone faster, which is always a wonderful thing! BUT more people have been around and weird people with weird questions. The phone has also been mostly weird phone calls... I think it is just weird people day.
Yup... it's officially weird people day.
Gotta love working the desk... or not.

Minute by Minute
I did some wedding stuff.... let's be honest, not a lot to do.
I read a little bit of my book....but I have ADD for some reason.
I looked through my planner again to see if anything jumped out at me that I need to do in the next few days...that maybe I can do while I sit here at the desk. No such luck.
I talked to Sean for a while...
I read from the bible...
I drank some coffee...
Gosta go to the bathroom.. that should waste 2-3 minutes.
And it's only 10:40am! AAAAHHHHHH! What am I going to do till 3:30pm.

Thoughts for the moment
It's going to be one of those days. I might blog several times today out of pure boredom.
I longed for classes to be done. To have all my homework done and be able to sit around and do nothing. This isn't quite what I had in mind....
I was thinking along the lines of watching movies, sleeping in, having a lot of time to pack... this whole sitting around at work thing has got me going nuts. I am a very capable person. I just wish I could use that. But I guess I shouldn't complain, nothing is better then craziness.
WELCA is here yesterday and today. WELCA stands for the women of the ELCA. The sad thing is they are all older women. Doing their old lady thing. Are there no young women in the ELCA? I shouldn't complain.. they give me some money every year.
That's all for now

Poopy.. what a word
I'm so tired of this job at the information desk right now. I'm tired of this school.... I'm tired of all the bs that goes on here.
I'm tired of being the information desk, but not having the information to do my job. But expecting to have it. I'm tired of always being around people, I find myself not wanting to hang out with people after I have sat at the desk all day.
I have had people here crying because they are going to miss people who are leaving on internship. The... what could have been blues. Which just makes me want to cry also because of the poopy day.
Just as I was totally down and wanting to cry myself, I just got the best compliment. Someone came up and told me that I look like a girl on a tv show, who I think is very good looking. On Brothers and sisters the sister they didn't know they had.
3.5 more hours here at the desk and then I can go curl up and not deal with people for the night. What a mostly sucky day! What was I thinking when I scheduled myself to work everyday. Granted the money will be nice and I will have a long break, probably complaining because I'm bored, but I just need a little break. To get away from school and this community for a while.
Maybe I'm just itching for a change in pace. Different scenery. The summer has always been a time of change for me. I just haven't felt the change yet except the packing part. I can feel it on the horizon but I can't quite grasp it yet. Soon and very soon I suppose.
