Two more weeks of school

Two more weeks of school. That's a little unnerving actually. I had all these ideas of grandeur this past year and most of them have not to realization. I am seriously going to have to kick it into high gear to get something accomplished in the next month. I am very worried about VBS. I have no where near enough people to give it a go. I keep getting told that it will come together but as of right now I'm not so sure. Then again I haven't really been sure of anything this past year. My only hope is things get better.

So here I am, back in Fort Morgan. I had a wonderful time in Boise at the wedding. It was so great. I now need to catch up on four nights of sleep. I think I got one whole nights sleep all the days I was in Idaho. Granted a few of those I could have gotten more sleep but when I only see my friends a few times a year I tend to over do it. Then there was the bridesmaid dress fiasco. The stupid store messed up our dresses, they didn't order what we wanted and not in the right sizes. Some girls where way to big and mine was 2 sizes too small. They also put this nasty pleated bottom with a lacy trim. It was seriously one of the ugliest things ever. Then they tried to fix them to fit us. I was in the store 4 times in 2.5 days. When they still did not fit or look at all workable an hour before the rehearsal dinner. My sister, the matron of honor, mother of the groom, and I went in all different directions in search of navy blue dresses. Let me tell you, navy blue is really hard to find in May. We ended up finding some dresses that kinda matched at David's Bridal. We had 45 minutes until the rehearsal. It all worked out, and they were really nice. So I will never shop at Dado Bridal in the Boise Towne Square Mall. The guy is an ass.
The wedding was so beautiful, outdoors on a lake. Its not somewhere I would have picked but it was very Dotty. I'm excited to see the pictures, I really hope they turned out.
This week has been crazy back in Colorado. Gil's mother in law passed away so he was been in Seward so I've been teaching more of the 3/4th grade. Then today and tomorrow I have been teaching their class all day and the preschool teacher has my class and her aide is teaching the preschool in the morning. Like I said, crazy. Not what I was thinking would happen when coming back so freaking tired.
Two more weeks and school is over. This year has been really hard and, seriously, the worst year of my life. I'm so excited to be done with this place. I have a lot to get done but I am moving in just over a month. I think I am moving to Twin Falls, nothing certain yet but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

The Wedding

So my sister gets married in six days. SIX DAYS! That is so insane to me. I really like Dave and everything but she met him in November. If I followed their dating plan I could meet someone now and be getting married in November. Is that not crazy or is it just me?

I'm already freaking out about not getting everything done I need to before the wedding. I woke up this morning and realized I leave on Tuesday, in 2 days. I still do not have my car back, I need to run some errands, finish lessons plans for a sub, pack, clean my house, ect. And then on top of all the craziness here I have an interview on Wednesday with Reedeemer Lutheran in Salt Lake. I'm just not sure how this is all going to work out.

I have been extremely stressed recently and I know when I go home I will need to be the calm one because Dotty will be the one who is allowed to freak out. Then on top of everything I got an email from camp this week asking me to come up and be a counselor for a few weeks this summer. I'm not sure what to think about that one. So now I've been trying to decide if I will move earlier than planned now. It only makes sense to move earlier now because I was already planning on driving from here to Boise to Vancouver the end of June. And it just seems stupid to then drive all the way back here for another two weeks to move. But to make matters worse it will be only days after VBS so I will be taking care of all of that crap and trying to pack and move. It might be crazy but I think in the end it will be worth it. I just wish I had someone to come and help me. I think I will talk to my mom this week and see what she thinks, maybe she can help. Any suggestions would be great :)
I think I just need to pray about it. That would be the logical thing to do but when I stress I don't normally do the logical thing. People who were close to me in college know this. Man, I wish I had Julianna or Noah here to help me. Those two always come through when I really needed them. I don't think I will ever find friends like those two, not that my other friends aren't wonderful too, but it was always a littler different with me, Julianna, and Noah. (And when I say Julianna, Noah, and me I don't mean we all worked together. I never quite understood why those two were so great with me but never with each other. Anyhow...)

Ok, I better get back to freaking out ;) I feel better now that I wrote a little.

Until next time...
