road trips, weddings and black dresses:) It's the start of summer!
We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware-- beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one. --unknown
I don't know where I saw that quote, but I decided it's a quote kind of day and thought it would be good to start my blog entry!! :) Life has been really good lately.I finally feel like I've gotten caught up, have regained my life in Indy. It's weird, because I spend so much time in Chicago and now St. Louis that it takes me SO long to get everything under control and get my life back together. That's definitely what this past week has been for me, and I'm sure I'll use the weekend for that as well. Being productive is a REALLY good feeling. :)
This past weekend was really, really good. A good friend from home, Mary, got married on Friday night in St. Louis. She looked SO BEAUTIFUL and the wedding location was just amazing. They had their wedding and reception at the Coronado Ballroom which is just such a pretty place for any kind of event. I had been shopping ALL day to try and find a dress. It took FOREVER! I just really needed a black dress and those apparently aren't as easy to find as I thought! I did, however, find one at Macy's, which will serve as the dress I wear to the rest of the weddings I'm going to this summer. :) After the wedding, Erin and I met up with some friends at Llewellyn's Pub, which is an awesome little pub and restaurant just down the street from the Coronado Ballroom. My parents got back that Saturday from a trip to Las Vegas and I spent the rest of the weekend with them and my little sister Caitlin. All in all, it was an AMAZING weekend!!
A shoutout to the little sister who graduated last Monday. Her graduation was at the Blanche Touhill Center in St. Louis. It's an absolutely gorgeous venue and was perfect for Caitlin's graduating class. Congrats to her, and to all of our 2008 graduates!
Tomorrow is our staff retreat and I'm really excited about what we get to do. Our staff is going to the Speedway and hanging out for the day there. We have a suite, which should be pretty cool-I've only been to the Speedway once before, so I'm hoping tomorrow is fun!
Other than that-we have an Early Registration on Friday, which I finally get to go to-I've only been in town for one other Early Reg, and I hate missing them and not getting to see my students. Friday's weather looks promising, so I hope the nice weather and sunshine stick around for at least the rest of the week. ;)
One final thing-please let Brad or me know if you like the updates of what the Blogger's are doing on our main page. (go.butler.edu/cs) It's a new thing Brad's been trying and testing out through Twitter, and he wants to see if people like that. So let me know!
That's it for now-hope everyone is well. Good luck with the rest of school, finals etc. Here's to a great summer 2008:)
