A Good Week Going

Well this week is slowly becoming an amazing week! Tuesday I received information that I had won 500 dollars off a wedding package from a drawing I entered while attending the Marriott Bridal Show on Sunday. I already have a photographer and this winning is pretty much impossible to use it still makes you feel good to know you won something. Wednesday Chris and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary. Even though it didnt start out as the best day ever it definitely ended amazing. One tire on my mom's car went completely flat in the morning and she had to drive my car to work. My dad was at work and my sister had to go to school to finish out her summer classes. Chris' truck has no air. In the middle of summer here right now it is over 100 degrees outside so riding to town in a truck with no air isnt the ideal situation. We finally decided to take the car to Chris' mom at her work and trade it for her car (with air). We ate a quick lunch at McDonald's since we were going out for a nicer dinner. We then went to see a movie, Despicable Me. It was my second time to see the movie and Chris' first. It is by far even better the second time around, I highly recommend it to everyone! It is hilarious! We went to the mall to look around for some wedding registry ideas. Then we had to have some keys made at Walmart for Chris' mom. We had planned to have dinner at Osaka, a Japanese steakhouse. Instead we decided to go to our favorite place, Applebee's. After eating we decided to come back to my house to go swimming. All in all it was an amazing anniversary!

Before we went swimming last night I got a call from Simplicity Gourmet to tell me I had won another prize from the Bridal Show I attended. We go next Tuesday night to go for a cooking class with this company as part of our prize among other things involved in the package. I am so excited to have won and even more excited to experience this with Chris.

Today I got my placement letter for my student teaching internship. I am going to be at Kilby in 6th grade for my first placement and Harlan in Kindergarten for my second placement. I am nervous yet excited. It makes it seem so real to have the placements in my hand. Hopefully everything will go well and I will learn alot in the process. It made me feel a lot of relief when I got a call from one of my good friends from high school to tell me his new wife is going to be at the same schools at the same time as me. She will be in 4th grade at Kilby then we will both be in Kindergarten at Harlan. Then I found out another girl from my class will also have Harlan Kindergarten with us. It makes it so much better to know I am going to have people close to me right there with me. It will be nice to talk and collarborate with them as well as express our emotions and feelings about things that we are going through. Wish me luck for we have an orientation meeting the 23rd of August then things will get going on the 24th.

We also are now less than 150 days away from the wedding. Alot is starting to go on and Chris and I are trying to keep our stress levels down. With intership fast approaching I am trying to get as much done as possible. It is going to be crazy but I am up for the challenge. Bring on the multi-tasking!!!
