Nostalgic

It is funny that as my wedding day approaches, although I look to the future with my new husband, I also look to the past with fond memories. I have been remembering some very good times from my childhood and sometimes miss it very much. I miss not having any responsibility and not knowing what stress even meant. I miss getting summers off and not having to work or go to school. I miss just getting to play soccer and worry about school.

But then I think of the life I am getting to live and the places I am going and I get excited. I know everything has piled up lately and I have been completely overwhelmed, at times feeling like I am drowning in responsibility, but I can see the finish line. I am almost at the end now and just feel an overwhelming urge to be done for a while. After this weekend all I need to worry about is school and work and being the best wife I can be.

I am so happy with where I am going but at times I can't help but look back and remember where I came from.

End of the Quarter!

John and I have finished our finals and ended spring quarter on a high note. For the 3rd quarter in a row, John and I have made the Dean's List. This means that we have made the year long Dean's List. We are both ecstatic about this as it seemed like an especially long and arduous 3 months. John was really stressed because he had a very full load but he was very successful.

Fortunately, we have our wedding to look forward to which is only 16 days from today. Our engagement party is also this weekend and I am so excited to get my family again! My Aunt and Uncle are so great for throwing it for us and I have 2 fantastic cousins that I am so thankful for!!!

We will get back from Oregon just in time to go back to school on Monday...

Done!

I am finally done with Spring Quarter and I couldn't feel better! This was a really tough quarter with work and the wedding planning needing to get done but I finally finished and am ecstatic! John and I are both done now but while he gets the rest of the summer off of school, I only have 10 days until I have to get back into it.

It is going to be a really busy time though. In just over a week is the engagement party that my fabulous aunt and uncle and two of my brides maids are throwing me. I am so excited to get to see my family and have John meet a lot of them for the first time. then in 23 days I will officially be married a I don't know how I could possibly be any happier. And while I don't get to go on a honeymoon right away because of school, I do get to go on one in August to Victoria, Canada. This is such a busy time in my life but I have to remember to sit back once in a while and just enjoy because I will never be going through this again. Sometimes I really have to remind myself of that when I am feeling overwhelmed and am ready to just throw in the towel. I don't think I could have gotten through all of this if it weren't my family and my future in-laws. Thanks guys!!

Irritation!

The final for my science class was to create a portfolio of work that we have done over the course of the last 6 months. I spent 6 or 7 hours putting this whole portfolio together so that it was ready for my presentation. I presented my portfolio to my teacher and in the end my teacher didn't even take it or look at it. I am highly irritated that I spent so much time on an assignment that no one even looked at! Thank goodness I only have one final to go; then I have a week and a half break until summer quarter starts!
