3 weeks in 30 seconds

So is it just me, or does this summer seem to be both flying by and dragging on. Am I ready to get back to the daily grind that is SIU? Not really. But there are so many things changing in August that it's both exciting and scary. I still don't know where I'll be working :S but the prospect of a new job is going to be a much welcomed change. Whether or not I feel ready to move changes on a daily basis. Ok, scratch that, make it hourly. In many ways, this fall is going to bring more changes than even graduating high school did. Part of me is ready for the challenge...I think lol Enough about the future..God will take care of that...now for some recapping of the last couple weeks.

To begin our journey- The much anticipated wedding of the year..my good friends Tommy & Micah from church. They have been together for nearly 8 years and let's just say the word "Finally" was used alot.

Next we make a stop in Nashville for the 4th of July.

The 2nd largest fireworks display in the US...there were over 100,000 people downtown...it was pretty awesome. Needless to say, I'll never be satisfied with fireworks here again. And who can visit Nashvegas without making it to the Pancake Pantry for breakfast?? Certainly not us. We were excited..and very full.

Upon my return home (much to my dismay), I was met with a very stressful week of work and school which led to a near mental breakdown.

Never fear, thanks to my friends and family listening to some major rants, ice cream therapy, and a couple good movies....I recovered in time to enjoy a great weekend of Movies and Music.

Batman and Michael English. Odd combination? Perhaps..but it made for an awesome time. Going to the midnight showing was totally worth the 2 hrs of sleep I got before work the next morning. lol And Michael..what can I say? Always a great concert, he's got an amazing testimony, and we all got to sing I Bowed on my Knees with him at the end.

On the agenda for the coming weeks: 2 more weeks of working at summer school, approx. a week and a half before I will be done with my online class *insert shouts of joy here*, and oh yeah, 10 days till my Bday :D
