Bubba's Wedding

Hey guys, I am glad to say that as of yesterday I officially have a married brother and a wonderful sister-in-law. The ceremony and reception went very good and was extremely exciting, emotional, and fun all at the same time.

Of course, I was one of the four bridesmaids so that was exciting. Right before the bridesmaids started walking out I was telling everyone how my mom was already boohooing and the ceremony wasn't even going yet. I didn't know that I would be crying less than 2 minutes later. I got halfway down the aisle and saw my brother and started boohooing just like my mom. I couldn't stop the whole ceremony...but don't worry that were HAPPY tears. My brother kept looking at me and I was trying to smile but it was impossible. Therefore, he started crying and tears were coming down his cheeks :( oops thanks to me haha. Jessica didn't cry at all which was surprising. After the ceremony, I was filled with excitement. I got out of the chapel and ran to my brother, still crying, and hugged him. He was still crying but it was a good day! Then my parents came out and they both broke down so we were all hugging having a family hug and crying fest lol.

We were all so excited and I have never seen my brother so happy.

At the reception, my brother had said beforehand that he was only dancing twice. One with Jess and one with my mom. I just randomly asked him though if he wanted to dance with me and he said yeah lets go. That made me happy...very very happy! Anyways, he ended up dancing with Jess twice, me once, and mom once. So a total of 4 times YAY!

Anyways, he was walking by and I grabbed his hand. He was like what? and smiled. I said "I love you" and he started laughing and said "I love you too". He has never told me that so that was exciting. When they were about to leave from the wedding, I hugged him bye and he kissed me on the cheek. OMG it was an extremely happy day.

Here are some pictures of before the wedding! Don't have any of the wedding yet :(

the two of us....love birds!

My whole family kept asking when me and Mike were going to get married, which I thought was pretty funny. I should say that we will most likely be next because he caught the garder and I caught the bouquet. It was not rigged for me to catch it...I jumped up high to get it. It was kinda rigged for Mike...my brother told all the other boys if they caught it he was going to kick their a** because he wanted Mike to have it!

In Dallas!

Okay, so Mike still has not returned to Houston from his trip to Ohio. He was supposed to come home the day that Ike was going to hit so they sent him to Dallas. I was not so happy about this and I kept telling my parents and Mike that if he was still up here yesterday then I was coming.

Well guess what...Now they are saying that he won't be returning to Houston until Tuesday at the earliest. So I am up here from yesterday to Monday hanging out and spending time with him.

This trip has definitely made me have stronger feelings then before about our relationship, about Mike as a person, and about us getting married and spending the rest of our lives together. NO I WAS NOT HAVING DOUBTS....dont think that!

Anyways, I have met all of his coworkers and they are all extremely nice. We went out to Main Event last night and ate dinner at BW3's. It was an awesome night and we had so much fun playing laser tag and bowling. Tonight we are going out again but I dont know when!

Overall, this is a freakin awesome trip and I am glad that my parents didnt object to me coming up here. I would not have been able to wait any longer to see him.

Mike does have to be in Houston on Thursday night or Friday morning because the rehearsal dinner is Friday afternoon in Houston and the wedding is Saturday night. I am so excited that I will actually have a "SISTER-IN-LAW" :D

School Recently

School has been going great lately even though I have to wake up super early and be in school two days a week from 8am to 2pm but its not as bad as I thought it would be.

I have gotten a big headstart on assignments that will be due later on down the road so I am excited about that.

Then the most recent issue is Mike being in Ohio! It has been very hard to be away from him so long even though we dont see each other but on the weekends. Its hard because we cant text message as much or talk as much as we do when he is in Houston. I am totally looking forward to Friday when I pick him up from the airport! I cant wait to see him and this trip has totally shown me that I definitely want to marry him and spend the rest of my life with him and that he IS THE ONE for me!

First Day in the School!

Ok, so the first day of school in the actual elementary school went well!

We got there at 7:30 but didn't go inside until 7:45. When we went inside, the whole class went to the front office and had our name badges done. Oh and the picture turned out amazing of me and our badge's say we are "STAFF" :D How awesome is that?

So then we all followed the teacher to the classroom which is OUR classroom. It was a pretty good size classroom because it is where the real teachers have their faculty meetings.

We then had a little lecture by our teacher about how we weren't able to meet our kids today because the principal sent our teacher the list of classrooms we were able to go in late last night and so the teachers and weren't prepared and also because our teacher didn't have time to split us up :(

It's ok though. We had writing class today and did multi-genre presentations and took a tour of the school.

I made a few "NOTE TO SELF" today:
1) Do not wear high heels...feet will kill you!
2) bring a jacket...school is COLD!

Anyways, I got a kid that is in 4th grade!
Will meet them next Thursday!!!!
