4 brides and 3 grooms.....

This is one odd set of twelve months for me. From January 2007 to January 2008, I will have 7 of my good friend married. Now I'm happy for all of them to be tying the knot, but it's rather depressing for the rest of us. We celebrated a bachelorette party this weekend for one of my best friends getting married in July to one of my other best friends. I love all these people a lot...some more then others yes, but that just because I have been closer with some for years and years. My only fear is that all these couples will start doing couple things. I don't want to lose any of them, and honestly I don't see that happening, but home is beginning to be a place I don't like to go so much. Every time I go home, it seems like the couples are hanging out and then it's me. Usually it is no big deal because we hang out in big groups so its not that odd or anything. And I have spent so much time with some of these people I don't see if ever gettting odd to hang out with just the two of them (fingers crossed!) I just am scared for that day when they all hang out together or do couples only things and then I'm left out. It has happened already...not strictly couples only things but they have gone out in big groups and its this couple and this couple and I usually get invited, but I hardly ever go. It just is so awkward for me to be there sometimes and I feel like the odd woman out. So my final thought is that I love all these couples, but don't ditch the single gal.

Catching up with an Alumni!!!

Hello all!! So lots has happened since the last post. First off, I made it through all my classes with flying colors. That was a good thing. I hit up a Brewer game with friends and had an absolute blast! We played bags, ate tons and drank even more. It was an awesome time and I really enjoyed it.


The same weekend was my college graduation!! I can not believe I am a college alumni!! It is nuts to think that four years has gone by already since I stepped foot at UWM. I really am glad I came here and I don't regret it. I made awesome friends, got a degree and got to experience the city. It was a great experience that made me who I am today! After graduation, I went with one of my roomies to dinner and drinks. It was tons of fun and I enjoyed spending the time with her.


On Monday (may 21st) I went home and watched one of my cousin's baseball games. He pitched and they won so it was great. He is growing up so fast, I still think of him as the little 12 year old he used to be! He'll start driving this year which makes me feel so old. My mom and I went to Minnesota for a few days to take a little vacation. It was awesome to spend some time together and to get some shopping in. We went to the Mall of America and IKEA, two of my favorite places, ha ha! We got some new outfits and just had an awesome time.


Memorial weekend was fun and I got to spend time with family and friends. We spent some time at my Grandma's house and cleaned up her yard and stuff. All my cousins and that were there so it was mass chaos! Four little kids and five dogs does not equal a good combination!


I came back to Milwaukee to start summer school. Yes, I told you I just graduated but I had to take two classes this summer to be officially done. I didn't want to come back in fall for a whole semester to take six credits. Plus, we have our house through July and school ends June 22nd so that works out. School is really good so far too. One week down, three to go. The class is three hours a day, four days a week but it goes pretty fast. The teacher is really cool and makes the class interesting. I just have to pass the two then and I'll be an Official college grad.


Ok, well that's what's been going on for a month that I've been gone. I will try to keep this thing posted a little more. No job on the works yet. Hopefully something will come up soon! Take Care All!
