Well today was fun! lol We went to see my grandparents and tell them the news! They were excited. Then we did our book study and just talked for a while before going to dinner with Andy and Ann Brahmer (sp?). Andy is going to be officating our wedding ceremony and Ann is his wife. Andy and Ann are close friends with Brion so that's really neat. I'm trying to get to know them more so that I'm more comfortable with him/her.

I was a littel nervouse going into dinner...but I like them alot! Andy is really nice and Ann is super duper sweet! I think she's even going to help with some of the planning which is great! I'm realyl excited! Lol

Well, I have to go back to work tomorrow so I'm going to need to get some stuff done.

Engagement and Weddings!!!!!!

Well, Brion finally asked me to marry him! It's been a bumpy road for us but I think it was just some speed bumps, lol. I know some of you have been asking me how he asked so I'll let you know:
On Sunday Brion and my dad went to play a round of golf...I stayed home because I didn't feel like going. Brion asked my dad's permission to marry me and he got my dad's approval! So, when dad got home he pulled me aside and asked when i was getting maried. I told him I wasn't sure because Brion would have to ask him then me...then dad said, "oh...well he asked me, it's ok, just act suprised!" Lol. It was funny. So on Sunday Brion picked me up and he took me to Bearnos then we were going to find something to do until we noticed the horrible wind storm. We then went to his house to take cover and just hang out. We have been going through a premarital study so we did our chapter in the book, then Brion took my book over to the desk came back to the couch where I was snuggled up with pillows and blankets and got on one knee and asked me to marry him! I then took about 2 minutes to "think" about it...then responded with a yes!

So we picked a date this week and a place. We plan to hold our ceremony and reception outside at Community Park on Saturday, June 20, 2009. The time is still unofficial. I even went today to book the shelter house because there was only 2 dates in June open! We did some shopping around and price comparrision and we got a GREAT deal!

Ultimately I'm not looking forward to all the planning stuff...it seems fun now, but I don't think it'll work out to well for me. I want a super simple, classic outdoor wedding so it shouldn't be too bad. I don't anticipate doing any more planning until after Christmas so yeah...lol.

Oh...I do need to find a photographer. I know they book up fast in June. I don't want to spend a lot though. Any suggestions? I have a few ideas but I'm open to ideas!

School Musings

School is crazy. Let's just say that. Late start Wednesdays...well...suck! I dunno. This school year is so incredibly different. With 3 preps I feel like I never get anything done and that nothing is planned. Also we have less prep time and everything (seemingly) has changed. I mean like going from blocks to 7 period dayll, late start wednesday, construction, etc. I dunno. Oh and to top it all off I get to do a portfolio this year which will determine if I get to keep my teaching license or not. Fun fun fun!

Fun, Fun, Fun!

Friday after an exhausting week back at work, Brion took me on a dinner dance cruise on the Belle of Louisville. It was different but fun! I think I was the youngest person there without a parent, lol. But it was fun and neat and different.

Saturday we went to Texas Roadhouse, the church, then went to Paul and Betsie's house for dessert, strawberry shortcake! Brion got off work early so that was possible to do all of that.

Today Brion suprised me with a picnic! It was really cute. He got us some chicken from Lee's, a picnic blanket and basket, sparkling grape juice with wine glasses, lol, and chocolate covered strawberries! He also remembered my favorite flowers and suprised me with those too! It was really sweet! Then we packed everything up, took the leftovers home, went to Family Christian, the mall and then Walmart. After that we met up with my parents for an exciting game of golf...I actually thought I was going to have a weekend off from golf, but I guess I was wrong.

Well, that was my weekend, I'm off to bed.

Weekend Stuff

This was my last free wekend before going back to work...dun..dun..duunnn! Lol. Friday night Brion and I went to play 9 holes of golf at Wooden View which was fun. Then we went to eat at Wendy's! Saturday Lynn, Brion and I went to church at Northside then went to eat at Logan's. We, well Brion, then got coffee at Coffe Crossing. Then we drove around because we couldn't find anything to do, lol. I hope we didn't bore Lynn! (Sorry if we did Lynn!)

Today Brion, my dad, and I went to play the front 9 holes at Wooden View. It was ok. lol. It was hot and I forgot to eat before so I was a little hungry and grumpy. Afterwards Brion and I ordered some pizza, ate, hung out, went to Target and then Kroger.

Now I'm home doing laundry for tomorrow. Brion is meeting me at 6:30 to unload all my stuff since we weren't allowed in the building all summer. He's so awesome! lol!

Helping a Friend!

One of my friends, Delaina, was moving yesterday so I went to help her pack at 8 am! Anywho I helped her pack until about 10:30 then I came home to get cleaned up and go pick up Lynn! We went to Famous Dave's and it was really good. Then we went to Walmart and I picked up a few things for school...it was actually fun! Then I came home and got some school stuff done and ate dinner. Then Delaina called and needed some help loading up the U-Haul and unloading it so I went along. Once we got to her new house we were unloading the truck and we came to her bed. I just so happened to be in the truck when it became available so I helped move it! Not a great idea! Anywho as I was moving it and manuvering it around all the walls, I ran into a problem...I was walking backwards into her new room and ran into the other bed stuff as I did I lost balance but quickly regained it when John (on the other end of the bed) was still pushing it toward me...my face broke the fall! Well actually my face was pushed into a big wooden knob! Anywho there is a pic on facebook of my face...all bruised up. It hurts and is swollen but I'm doing ok! Lol

As summer fades away...

Summer vacation is quickly fading away. School will be back in session before we know it. Well that's if the school is ready to have people inside! Lol. I'm ready to go back though...I"m ready to have a routine again. Don't get me wrong I have loved summer vacation! Doing what I want, when I want to, sleeping in, taking naps, staying up late! I love it...BUT I am ready to go back to work!
