Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves. ~Henry David Thoreau

Life updated…if you are interested

So where do I start…with anything…I want do a list…let’s see how that goes:

Main topics:

1. Wedding  2. Moving  3.  Student Teacher  4. Wisdom Teeth

These are the four bigger things on my mind.  I have other things going on as well…but here we go:

Wedding -

We have the location of the venue and the reception booked. – check  I have a GORGEOUS dress hanging in the closet – check  We bought the invitations – check  We are doing the required pre-martial counseling. – check

Now, let me expand on those items.  We are going to have the ceremony at Central Presbyterian Church downtown and the reception at our church, St. David’s across the street.  We had to have the ceremony at CPC, because of the current cannons on the book that define and restrict marriage at St. David’s.  Our wonderful Rector reached out to the pastor at CPC to marry us.  It’s very sweet and both locations are amazing.  The reception is going to be held at a wonderful outside garden area at St. David’s.  It’s called “The Labyrinth,” because it has an elaborate stonework maze like pattern.  It’s hard to explain, but it’s wonderful.  We are going to decorate it with all fall themed items….wheat, pumpkins, squashes, perhaps a few hay bales, apples, dried leaves, candles hanging from the steel rafters, etc.

Wedding dress – gorgeous! I am so excited to have everyone see me in this dress.  It is definitely “the one.”  If you know me, you know that I don’t wear dresses. I didn’t know that I would find a dress I’d be SOOO happy with.  It’s form fitting?! I usually hide my body shape, but this dress just makes me look sooo wonderful.   It’s a taffeta gown in off-white. It ties up in the back and….goodness…This dress makes me feel like it’s real.  There’s a wedding in October….and we’re gonna look awesome! :)

Moving -

GRRR. So all that sweet happiness I just typed…is going to be used up in this venting.  We have to move again!  I have moved every year for 5 years.  I’m so tired of moving…and I was just getting really settled in here, however they are raising our rent $100 bucks a month!  It’s just not fair.  I know life is not fair, but dang it.  We keep bouncing back and forth about home buying, but our future is just so flexible and probably in two years we will be moving out of state.  So…we’ve gone apartment shopping….we have two options that would work, with lots of “ifs.”  By the end of this month, we should have a clearer idea of which options are doable.  Another June moving is soo annoying. hot, hot, hot. Last year, it was 106 degrees. Another thing is that Natalie, my sister, might come to live with us…and that would mean, we’d need a bigger place for her to have a room and for us to have an office.  So many stresses….

Student Teaching -

I’m finished and sad to not have a “job” to go to anymore.  I will be back to substituting as soon as my teeth have healed (more about that later).  I have applied to currently 7 jobs?  I would LOVE to have a job.  I am very excited to have my own classroom. I am fired up for the challenge. I have passed all of my exams and only have to wait for paperwork, now.  The student teaching experience was very worth it. :)

Wisdom Teeth -

I FINALLY got my wisdom teeth taken out.  I am finally getting my teeth healthy.  With the new dental insurance, I was able to go to a great dentist.  I am very excited to not ever have the mouth pain that I had last year. I’m sitting on the couch now…waiting happily to heal.  :)

Anyway…is there anything you guys want to know more about or have questions or comments?  I’d come back to blogging if I had readers. *hint* *hint*

  1. 1. you know you’ve ALWAYS had a reader in me. if you look at all the comments from the other posts, i dominate percentage-wise! but…as a sometimes blogger myself, i know that one steady reader doesn’t make you want to blog all the time.

    2. i want to see the dress! once you’re my almost neighbor, living so close to chris as you will, i’ll walk on over and you’ll have to try it on for me!! =)

    3. i’m SOOOOOO happy to hear that your teeth are on the mend. i know that’s been a long painful process. i have too many memories of poor nina in pain!! =(

    Lis – You should have made me try the dress on the other day! :) I would have, I just didn’t think about it.

  4. i didn’t think about it later. next time, you will!
    and maybe we can walk to chris’ place so you can see my potentially future home. we’re not positive if we’ll stay there but it’s seeming to lean that way.
    hey–then we really will be almost neighbors! =)
