Pictures Pictures Pictures
So I have been really bad about putting pictures on here lately 1) Because usually when I have been writing them I have been at school and 2) when I am writing them at home I am usually too lazy to go find my camera! Well today is your lucky day! Pat was emailing some pictures so my card is in my computer ready to go! Here are a montage of pictures from various events!

What I Think Heaven Will be Like
Ok maybe not exactly like it but I was pretty ecstatic yesterday when we walked into the Scholastic Book Warehouse Sale . It is a giant room full of books that are all 50% off. Usually books from Scholastic aren't that expensive anyway so that makes it even better. I was pretty good yesterday and tried to be a little picky but by the end I had 28 books. Some of those were for Luke and we got one for Matt since he got his staples out yesterday (sorry Layton) but most were for me and my students for next year. I didn't get multiple copies of any book because the books I am interested in teaching next year weren't there but that is ok. I still was able to add to my classroom library. I really think this will be a semi-annual trip for me! I say semi-annual because I think they hold it twice every year, but I could be wrong. The best part was since I signed up early, once I spent $100 I got $25 off! I ended up walking about with 28 books for around $90! That is only about $3 per book! AMAZING! I am so excited to start reading them all!
It's One of Those
no good, feel crappy kind of days.
Yesterday I was starting to feel a little sick because when I woke up my throat was sore but I figured it would go away as the day went on, well it didn't. Then as we were driving home from Columbus I just kept feeling worse and worse. I went to bed early last night but when I got up this morning I felt awful. It was all I could do to stand up and get ready. Thankfully my hair looked ok to throw it in a ponytail and I deemed it a glasses day. I really didn't know if I was going to make it through the whole day but thankfully I am watching movies with the classes today so it is nothing too high energy and so far the kids have been awesome (cross your fingrs that continues). I work the rest of the week as well so hopefully this is just a one day deal! Only 4 1/2 more hours until school is over.

Busy Busy Weekend
On Saturday Pat decided that he needed to go shopping to get some new clothes for the working world and I needed some new clothes for the warmer weather so we decided to go to the outlet mall in Lodi and see what we could find. Well we found a lot. I think we ended up shopping for about 3 hours which is probably the longest we have ever gone shopping other than when we did all the Christmas shopping in one day! We did find a lot of great deals though. The only problem was some of the stores weren't true "outlet" malls and things weren't discounted, but that was ok, we just didn't shop there. On the way home we stopped for dinner at Tumbleweed and had the most amazing Chilli Fries ever! When we got home the boys decided they wanted to go swimming so Michelle and I took them and then I can't think of what we did the rest of the night. I know we sat down and talked about what else needed to be done for the wedding and the list just kept getting longer and longer!
Well Sunday was my bridal shower! Michelle and Jennifer put it on for me and it was great! I had pretty much everyone that I am close to there and it was a great time. They played games of course, one was a crossword about Pat and I, another was the Price is Right with household cleaning supplies that were then donated to Pat and I (I hope HE enjoys using them!) and Scattegories with our last name. We also got a lot of GREAT presents! I can't even begin to explain how blessed both Pat and I feel to have such loving friends and family that are willing to help us get our lives started!
After the shower my family sat outside and talked while the boys played in the yard until we decided to have a line dancing party in the building as a warm-up for the reception. It was a lot of fun other than we couldn't remember how to do Louisiana Saturday Night (I think I had it right but nobody else was convinced).
Once we were done with that Pat and I took all the presents to storage for now since we don't have anywhere to put them yet (cross your fingers that we will be moving into a house soon!) There is no more room for anything in the storage building. We have sooooo much stuff in there. Not only the presents but most of Pat's stuff, all of my stuff from college and boxes I have already packed. Moving day is going to be a long day I think!
Speaking of moving day, Pat and I have decided we are just going to move everything in first and then go through stuff later when it is just the two of us. Hopefully it will be a little less stressfull that way and then we will know where everything is. We will definetly need help getting all of the stuff there though if anyone is interested!
I just got a message that Pat got the job at Hertz! YAY!! He will go in for a drug test tomorrow and then hopefully start by the end of the week. I am so excited for him! Now we both have jobs and a house! Now all we need is for this wedding to get here (which is coming faster and faster!)

Summer Plans
On top of getting married there are also a lot of day trips I would like to go on this summer. Here are some of my ideas! (Now just to fit them in between weddings, work and volleyball! oh and getting ready to teach!)
Chihuly Illuminated This is an exhibit at the Columbus Museum of Art. I saw a brochure for it while we were at Hocking Hills and I think it looks awesome.
COSI Titanic Exhibit Ever since I have heard of this exhibit I have wanted to go. I did a report in elementary school the year before the movie came out and have always been interested in the Titanic. Maybe I could pair this with idea #1?
The Backwoods Festival One day I was admiring some decorations a friend of mine had and asked her where she got them from and she told me it was from this festival and that there were just countless other booths with similar things. I think this is a must do since I will be starting to decorate my own house!
See Lady Antebellum This is one we are going to do because we already bought the tickets! They are playing at the Muskingum County Fair August 20th and we are in the 3rd row! I can't wait. Lady A and fair food...doesn't get much better.
See Luke Bryan Ok I lied it could get better, seeing Luke Bryan and fair food! The only problem with this one is that I am pretty sure I have a volleyball game that night. There is a 2nd performance at 8:30 so depending on where it is I could get there...hmm....The only other time he will be in Ohio this year is the same day as my bachelorette party and I don't think I can miss that one. Luke may have to wait for another year.
The weekend before our wedding we have a wedding to go to and we are of course making the annual trip to Lake Pickeral the weekend after the wedding. The following weekend we have another wedding to attend and at the end of July a wedding reception in Tennessee! I have a feeling this will not be a relaxing summer. Oh well I don't think I would know what to do with myself if it was!

It's a Little Weird...
to think that this is going to be the last time at Rio.
I know Pat and I will be back to visit especially for Alpha Sig stuff but it won't be the same. Most likely we will never be in the dorms again, we won't know as many people and countless other things. I have been graduated for a year (CRAZY) but everytime I came to visit it wasn't that different because most of the same people were here and I always came to the same dorm that I lived in for 3 years. I guess I am just sentimental but Rio has meant so much to me and I always think how lucky I am to have decided to come to Rio instead of some other options. I got to play college volleyball, met some of the best friends, lived close to my sister for three years and met the love of my life. I don't think you can get much more than that as far as I'm concerned.
Tomorrow will be bittersweet. I think sometimes a little more for me than Pat. He usually doesn't get sentimental about this kind of stuff and I do. It will be great because we will both be done with college (for now) and we will be one step closer to being married, but also there won't be anymore playing corn hole on the first nice day of spring, going to Jimo's or walking around campus late at night (we have about a 0 crime rate here is good ol' Rio). I am sure I have said it before on here but I am going to say it again, I'm just not sure about all this growing up stuff!
