The Countdown is on! 1 Week!

Well let's see... there are so many things going on! The summer has been so busy! The countdown is on for Kristen's wedding!! 1 week from today! Things have been so exciting trying to get things done for that. Rusty came home a week ago Thursday. Kristen was so excited! I text messaged her that morning and congratulated her for making it 6 months and she wrote back, "When I woke up this morning, it felt like Christmas Day!" I headed home at about 3:30 because we were going to leave the house around 4:15. (Rusty was planning on getting home around 5:25.) Needless to say, airlines haven't changed much from last summer (I spent the night in an airport... twice. Once in Atlanta, once in New York under a staircase. Thank You DELTA.) Anyway, Rusty ended up being delayed over and over again and he finally got in at around 9:40 p.m. That was a big bummer because we were all hoping that we would go back to our house and have dinner and be able to just sit and talk with Rusty. Kristen and Rusty had to go to Florida the next day so they had to go to the base to pick some stuff up so we all went our separate ways after leaving the airport. Since then though, we've hung out a few times and I've enjoyed it so much! Rusty is such a blessing and I'm so glad that God has weaved their love story like he has. All of the trials and hardships Kristen went through were completely worth it because God had a bigger plan in store for her. WOW!
Alright, what else? Oh I've been doing a lot of work in my classroom! I set my room up and I'm really excited about how it turned out! I spent 3 whole days cleaning, arranging furniture, categorizing books, and am a seasoned professional at the lablemaker. YESSSS. :) Now all that's missing are eighteen six year olds! haha. (I think I can wait a few more weeks though!)
I am excited about my day today! I am going to Blakely's birthday party! Blakely was in my class this past year and I found out the first day of school that her grandfather works with my Dad, which is so neat because I kind of know her family! Her Mom was an AWESOME help to me last year and always encouraged me and brought things in when I needed it. (Apple Juice and doughnuts the last day of school....score!!) Anyway, today is Blakely's birthday and so I"m headed there this afternoon! Exciting! I love that little girl and I can't wait to see her!
Well, I guess that will be it for now! Have a wonderful Saturday!
