Ready for the BIG DAY!

Well I now have my reception hall, caterer, dj, and cake person all booked! I have had the reception hall for about a month and the dj for a week now. Today I booked Celebrations by Sonja. Her cake is definitely the best in town. My mom, sister, Jeremy, and I all went to the Wedding Extravaganza today at the Expo Center to taste cakes. Sonja's was the best by far. I have everything booked for the reception. Now I just need to go to Jamaica, get married, and then come back and have some fun with family and friends. I can't wait to marry my best friend.

Home Sweet Home

We are home from Florida. We had a great time and it was very relaxing. I have been doing laundry and posting pictures all day today. Jerm is bringing home dinner because we have not had time to go grocery shopping yet. I have two more weeks off of school and then back to the swing of things. I took about 300 pics while on vacation but this is one of my favorites. We got to enjoy the sunset every night off the pool deck of our hotel.

Here we come Florida!

Well today is the big packing day. I am sure I will have to make a trip or two to Walmart to get the little things we forgot about. We are leaving tomorrow for Florida and won't be back for a week. It is going to be a great trip! I am hoping for good weather, lots of pool and beach time, great food and drinks, and a large amount of sleep. These are the things that will make me happy on vacation because they are all things that I have not had in Springfield the last few months. Well.........here we come Florida.

And I'm out

Well I am finished with my summer semester. YIPPEE! I had my last two clients today at school and turned in all of my paperwork so I am officially out! I have two more days at work......Thursday I will be there 8 hours and Friday only 4. I have some clothes shopping to do before we leave for vacation as well as packing. We will be gone for a week on vacation and then I will have two more weeks before I have to go back to school for the fall. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their summer.......mine is just beginning. Hello Freedom!!!!!

I think I can, I think I can.......

Well I only have three more days left of summer school. Yippee!!!! Summer school in my world does not consist of going to an hour long class, listening to a teacher, taking some notes, and a few quizzes or tests here and there. Those were the easier days! These days summer school or should I say grad school, consists of seeing three clients twice a week and doing a ridiculous amount of paperwork such as session plans, soap notes about what occurred in the sessions, and treatment summaries. On a side note, these long and tiring days of doing paperwork are done in a room that has about 20 computers and no windows! It makes me depressed some days knowing that I have to be couped up in this building, when I know most people are enjoying their summer laying by the pool and being outdoors. The past six summers I was a lifeguard at a neighborhood pool in Springfield. Oh how I miss those days and miss those kiddos and families. I still haven't gotten by to visit any of my old lifeguards or kids. Although this post seems quite depressing, I really am excited because my summer is about to begin (although it is almost August). I have clinic two days this coming week and three days of work......then I am finished until the end of August. Only two more semesters and I am finished with school........FOREVER!

My twin sister and her boyfriend along with my fiance and I are going on vacation to Clearwater Beach Florida. We leave Monday August 4th and will be gone until the following Monday. I cannot wait! We have a hotel right on the water and plan on spending time at the beach, playing some sand volleyball, and enjoying the local food and drinks. I am sure it will be very relaxing and enjoyable!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful and relaxing summer with family and friends. Take care!

Reception Hall Booked

Well the wedding is still a way off but Jerm and I have decided to go ahead and book our reception hall. We decided to go with Knights of Columbus in Springfield. Its very nice inside and has a wide variety of food options. An in-house caterer does all of the food. We are very excited and looking forward to our destination wedding in Jamaica at the beginning of June.

Birthday and Anniversary

For our 24th birthday, Jessie and I decided we wanted to go eat on the landing. We ended up choosing Garfields which was a wonderful choice. Everyone loved their food. Mom, Dad, Jess, Brandon, Jerm, and I all went to dinner and then back to the cabin for the night. The weekend was filled with a boat ride and a little rain and then some fun in the water. It was a relaxing weekend.

Jerm and I are celebrating our 4 year anniversary today. I cannot believe how the time flies. We are excitedly waiting till our wedding in June 2009. We have decided on a destination wedding in Jamaica and will be having a reception for family and friends when we return. I love Jerm will all my heart and soul and have finally found my soulmate for life. I cannot wait to start our lives together and have a family.

Pray that I can get through the next two weeks without too much stress. Seeing clients is about the most stress I have ever had to face in my life. I have three little ones between the ages of 5 and 10.

On August 4th, my sister, Brandon, Jerm, and I are all headed to Tampa (Clearwater Beach) Florida. BOY I CANT WAIT. We will be there for a week. It will be a relaxing time for me because I will be done with summer school.

I hope everyone is doing good. Take care!
