End of February

Hello again! Seems like it's been so long, but it seems like the weeks just fly by. Pretty soon track will start and I won't have time to breathe. March is coming up though, and then only a few more weeks until summer break. I really cannot wait for summer break - not because I'm tired of my job or the students, but because it just means I'm so much closer to marrying my best friend. It's all starting to come together; really just a few lose ends to tie up. I am getting more and more excited as the days go by. It will be here before we know it! There could also be some changes that could be coming our way; I will keep everyone updated!

So backing up a few weeks, we've been busy on the weekends as well. A few weekends ago it was Alex's birthday, but she wasn't planning anything because she was having a big birthday party the weekend after. We'd been e-mailing and she was kind of bummed out about a few things, so she wasn't expecting anything. My friend Rachel and I though drove to Omaha and ended up surprising her when she least expected it! We actually had her roommate Robbie talk her into meeting him at the bar and then when she showed up we jumped up from behind the bar with balloons and surprised the crap out of her! She was really happy and we all ended up going to dinner and had a night out. It was a really fun, needed time. Then the weekend after Alex and her friends came back to Des Moines and rented a bus and we drove around to various bars for the night. It was two back-to-back weekends of fun!

That's kind of the most excitement we've had. Josh got tickets from me for Baconfest for Christmas so he went there the weekend I had Alex's birthday. I think from all the guy stories I heard, they had fun! Now we're gearing up for some weddings starting in May and getting ready for spring! Although the meteorologists predicted an inch of snow...and we ended up with about 8"! So hopefully it warms up soon!
