The past few weeks have been pretty intense. My demands as a teacher, coach, and human being have been insane. I have come to the conclusion that I need to make time to relax or I’m going to have a stroke before age 30.
That’s the “short” of it. For details, read on:
As my subject line implies, so much has happened since my last update.
First of all, EK asked me to marry him on July 9th around 11:00PM. I, of course, said yes. I love this boy more than anything and I cannot wait to plan our wedding. We are thinking fall, primarily October 2013 as our tentative date. My wedding day pins on pinterest have increased as I search the site daily for cheap, wedding day ideas. I have so much I want to do! I have my bridesmaids picked out already but that’s going to be a surprise. We’re thinking of a wedding party of 6, three attendants each.
Secondly, I did not get the job at North Fond du Lac. However, I have other job prospects in the words that I cannot talk about at this time. I was saddened by this, but I don’t think the district is the right fit for me. If given the choice between two jobs, I would have chosen to leave the district anyhow. It was just an additional blow after a very long, terrible, day at summer school.
So what have I been doing?
We went to Steven & Alyssa’s wedding in De Pere, WI this weekend. Alyssa looked gorgeous and the ceremony and reception was beautiful. I’m so happy for both of them. There were a ton of people there so I don’t have a ton of pictures with the bride and groom but here are some pictures of EK and I. I enjoyed cutting loose on the dance floor with my favorite white boy nerd ❤ Anyhow, our weekend is best told in pictures. I apologize ahead of time for the cell phone quality pics. I forgot my camera.
On the Road!
Outfit and Hair (I was nervous because I had to do a reading in front of a TON of people)
No salon for this gal! I did it myself 🙂
My hot date and I:
EK looked very dapper in his Hawaiian attire (ps, his entire outfit minus the shoes were found thrifting):
Steven, Alyssa, and Myself:
A little while after lunch I was feeling incredibly worn out so EK suggested I go take a break in the car and see if I could rest. I had gotten some sun and wasn’t feeling well. But of course, I had to document the occasion, because honestly, only EK and I would take a “car nap” at a wedding:
Night Night!

Oh, and then there was one of these:
