Update on my life!

Oh my goodness, how sad that I have not posted anything recently!  Boo on me!  Well, I'm back and am going to really try to get my act together with my blog!  I don't even know the last thing I wrote...so I will just do a general fill in on my life!

School-
I went back to school on the 29th of July.  I realized that the week leading up to going back to school was way worse than actually going back to school.  I did not want to go back...however once I was back...it was kind of nice to be in a routine of some sort!  The first few weeks were a litttle stressful for me!  It's one of my busiest times of the year!  New kids, lockers, schedules, numbers to see if we need an extra teacher!  This year we have the exact amount of lockers as we do students...so that brought on an extra bit of stress!  Now that we are almost a month into it...things have calmed down a bit for me!  I still need to go through all of the 6th grade files, but I'm not too worried about that!

Shows-
This year I had a talk with Curt that went something like this
Curt-you are never home
Me-I'm working my rear end off to get money
Curt-We don't need the money that bad
Me- I thought you liked it when I was gone
Curt- I do sometimes, but not every night

So, I decided to not take on so many shows!  It's good for my mental health and it's good for Curt and I!  I'm not sure how I made it through last year doing 4 shows...yikes!  Anyway, so this year I will be choreographing Mulan Jr. at ABMS!  Fiddler on the Roof at Gardner High School!  In November I will be choreographing Little Women at Gardner as well!  Then in the winter I will be choreographing Cinderella for CYT and Aladdin Jr. at BVMS!  Plus, if I can get my act together I will be writing the Christmas Play at my church!  I have the main stuff down...I just need to fill in a few lines here and there!  It will still be a busy year but not too much overlapping!

Mulan Jr.- August- October
Fiddler- September-November
Christmas Play- October-December (Sunday's and maybe Wednesday's)
Little Women- November-December
Cinderella- November-February
Aladdin Jr- January-March

Every show and activity will be done by the beginning of March!  This way the last month before my wedding will be free of all extra stuff except for school and wedding planning!

Wedding-
The planning is going pretty well!  We have most of the big stuff done!  Bride, Groom, wedding party, location of the ceremony, location of the reception, Photographer, Videographer, Photobooth, food for the wedding, food for the reception, DJ, Lighting, invitations...and transportation to the reception from the wedding!

The things we have left to do...centerpieces.  We have 1/3 of them, know about the another 1/3 of them and then the 3rd part is still up in the air.  I have an idea for table numbers, but have not tried it out yet.  Flowers...I don't really like...so we are stalling on that!  The location on the Rehearsal dinner is a bit up in the air, but it's starting to make it's way down.  So much to do and so much time to do it!  Yahoo!!!

Ford-
I'm still working at Ford, but my days are numbered!  I believe I'm down to 29 more weeks!

Jamberry-
My newest venture of selling nails is up and running!  I really wanted to hit a few fast starts...but it looks like the 2nd one is not going to make it!  I need to be okay with where I am in the business!  Jamberry says "It's a marathon and not a sprint".  But man do I have a sprinting mentality!  So, I'm trying to slow it down...go with the flow!  My goal is long term...grow the business, so that when I have kids I can maybe stay home and still make money!  That is the goal!  But it's really fun and I love having fun nails!  I'm still learning and getting better at hosting parties...but it's totally a work in progress!  Plus the month of August was nuts!  Yikes!  Marathon...marathon...marathon!  Ha ha ha!

I guess that is all for now, I will write more I promise!  Happy Tuesday to you all!
