May is a huge month for Scott and I. Not only are we getting married, but I turn 25 on Monday and I'm struggling. I think I've struggled with every birthday since I turned 20... I was told yesterday "that's half way to 50". No kidding?! Wanna start digging my grave now? Scott is celebrating his Golden Birthday this year, 26 years old on the 26th. He is totally unfazed by it all. Other than he is totally jacked for insurance discounts. Haha. Men think on a totally different wave length than women do :)
I had my Bridal Shower 2 weekends ago and it was so nice to see people I haven't seen in a while. It was just kind of an open house thing so it gave me time to actually chat with people. I kinda liked that feel but I didn't really know how anything else operated! Last weekend my MOH had a Bachelorette party for me at her house, tons of food and funny little games. It was nice to spend some quality time with some of my closer girlfriends too. As strange as this sounds, it was so odd for me to be the guest of honor! I am so use to being the party planner, it was nice to just sit back and watch! I appreciate everyone who came, it really meant a lot that people wanted to share in my happiness. You wait for something so so long and never really think it's going to happen and then it does. I really do have great people in my life and I have felt so very blessed through all this wedding craziness. So many people have offered to help with anything and it's gotten me through the last 7 months without pulling my hair out!
Other things besides wedding--Work for Scott and myself is going really well. I really like my job at ISU! Scott just finished up his first job of the season at the new Convention Center in Fort Hall. Now he's on to the bigger I-86 job. He also got moved into his very own office. I'm thrilled about it! Our house is coming along slowly but surely! We are working on the yard-the house sat for 3 years with nothing done to the back yard... a breading ground for any kind of weeds you could think of or make up! They make me crazy!
I am currently in the middle of my practicum, with the reduction of tuition it was going to be crazy of me not to just take summer school and get it out of the way. Which means the light at the end of the tunnel has just become a a dutch door with the top half open, all I need to do is get through this and I am done! It's taken 7 years, but I finally feel like I have a plan for moving ahead and I know now why it took me so long to get through this chapter of my life. If I hadn't of switched to Health Ed there is no way I would be in the spot I am today. Yet another thing I am grateful for!
AND because I am in a good mood, I have more engagement pictures to show you all :)
