The Semester is Over!!

The spring 2009 semester is finally over! No more finals, papers, or tests. :) Even though the end of the semester is always tough, it went really well and all of my hard studying really paid off. Towards the end it was really hard to tell myself, go to the library it will be the last time... you can do it. It was a very fun and interesting conversation to have with myself. Greg was really supportive of me and helped me push through to the end. I had 2 finals the last day and they were back to back. The first one started at 7:30am. I just think that is wrong. No student should be asked to think that early in the morning. We are stressed out enough as it is and to tell us we have to function that early is just asking for a breakdown. I survived, but hate having to do it.

Now that school is out of the way, all there is to do is focus on the wedding! There are 5 1/2 weeks to go. We have finished most of the invitations so they can be mailed. People should be receiving their invitations by the end of the week or early next week. Addressing all the envelopes is the part that takes forever and is the least fun (well at least in my opinion). There are so many minor and major details that are left to take care of. I did get to see my dress and it is GORGEOUS!!!! I am taking it to be altered tomorrow and then my entire wedding attire will be set. No its just a matter of getting all the boys figured out for what their tux's will look like. They should be pretty easy so that will be nice. We are still looking for a DJ, which I am waiting for call backs, and we also need a cake. We have an idea what we want but we just have to find somewhere convenient and cheap to get it done. 

Everything for our honeymoon is pretty much set. All we have to do is pick which shore excursions we want to do at each stop of the cruise. We will be leaving from Gavalston Texas and heading to Montego Bay Jamaica first. I have always wanted to go to Jamaica and I think I am most excited for this stop. We will only be there for one day so I don't think that is long enough to get a good feel for what is there. It just gives me the excuse to have to come back so I can see the rest of it. haha :) Next we are headed to the Cayman Islands. I am not sure what we will end of doing here, but is just sounds absolutely amazing! Our third and final stop is in Cozumel Mexico. At first I was a little concerned that we wouldn't be able to stop here because of the swine flu break out, but everything seems to be settling down and we should be just fine. We will just have to see what happens in Mexico. Once we get back from our cruise we will be back in Mesa for a couple of days before we head back up to Flagstaff to our new apartment!

The new apartment we will be renting is in a perfect location. It is across the street from the music building. It is perfect for our first home. :) We will be moving in all of our stuff in 3 weeks so it is all set up for us when we get back to Flagstaff in July. I am so excited I can't wait! Everything is falling into place and before we know, we will be married and on our own. Its really exciting but so scary at the same time. I know that God has a plan for us and everything will work its way out. 

I can hear Wedding Bells..... 38 days left!
