Our trip was so wonderful and the pictures are just a small taste of what we did. It was such a whirlwind but it was such a blast! Joe is such a great travel partner :) I think that is a good thing!

We were so lucky

Hello Again!

WOW! It has been WAY too long since I have blogged..worst blogger ever..Probably!! Oh well..So anyway...what has been going on in my life..

For starters, I have recently been admitted to the MEd program in Educational Administration at UNL. I am quite excited. I was lucky enough to start taking courses as a non-degree student last spring so I have 12 hours under my belt..grad school is definitely an adjustment especially with online classes, working full time, and trying to maintain my ever so busy life! But, I think it is definitely all worth it!

About that life..Joseph and I are doing fabulously! We were lucky enough to take an amazing trip to Washington D.C and New York in April and I definitely enjoyed every second. I got to meet his grandparents and some uncles and aunts. We also got to spend time with friends and his brother and sister in law and their girls. It was so great to be away and have an adventure. I definitely am thankful for Joseph and all the joy that he brings to my life!

We have been able to stay very busy this summer with weddings, short weekend trips and just enjoying the summer sunshine! I always look forward to the time I get to spend with him. Even though we are doing the "long distance" thing, it really does make us stronger! I feel very blessed every day!

My family is doing well, and I have really enjoyed living at home with them. It is fun to hang out with siblings when we all can agree on things and get along! This time I have with them is definitely very cherished!

I have this aspiration to refinish a piece of furniture and now that my classes are done for the summer that is my goal. I want to paint a dresser and put new hardware on it and do something creative and crafty. We shall see how it goes! I just need to find the motivation to life in disarray for a little while!

Other than that I am trying to stay healthy and happy.

Hopefully I will have some pictures to post in a few days...I am SO bad at pictures but I really do aspire to get better with them!

Peace.

S
