Happy Birthday To Me and Hello June

Happy Birthday to me....well, a little over a week ago.  It sure has been a very busy two weeks which is why I am just getting around to blog about my 25th birthday!  To catch you up, my birthday was last Saturday, the 26th of May! It always works out that I get a three day weekend for my birthday--I'm a luck girl!  I had a fabulous birthday.  We went to Lake Gaston to see my grandparents and had a blast with the family--continuous eating, sun bathing, and relaxing--all which I really needed (well, not the eating part). We headed home Sunday so I could meet up with some of my friends for dinner at the beach! We had a blast and it was so great to see them all.  On my day off, Monday, Craig and I went to the beach with my cousin and to meet my friend, Kirby, for some relaxation and well--I must have turned my brain off and decided using sunscreen was a stupid idea.  Well, I was the hard headed one and ended up red as a crab!  Needless to say, my legs and arms still have a redish tent to them.  I did get to relax and enjoy my day off.

Sister and I on my birthday!

My birthday came and gone and June quickly arrived! I cant believe it's already June.  We have big things happening in June:  Craig finished the deck, family is coming in town, school ends, and weddings! 

Craig tore down the old deck and rebuilt the deck bigger and better. We LOVE it.  Needless to say--if it's nice out, you can find us outside!  It's perfect and he worked really hard to make it wonderful! We had my birthday cookout on Sunday and the deck was finished just in time!

We have family coming in town this weekend.  Craig's cousin is having a babyyyy and we are having a baby shower for her on Saturday!  We cannot wait to see them and are counting down until their arrival on Thursday! 

As for school ending, I don't even know what to say.  I cannot believe the year is over in just 8 days.  I feel so excited yet so stressed at the same time.  What a wonderful school year I had--I can't complain at all--wonderful coworkers and an amazing group of kinderbabies!  Closing down a classroom is hard work and it seems as if there is endless amounts of checklists and paperwork but it is something that has to be done. So for now, I'm taking it day by day.  What's the plan for next year? I have NO idea.  Since I have no idea for what lies ahead come September it makes it more tough closing down at the end of the year--I hope each day I hear good news but I'm still patiently waiting! I know there is a plan for me so I'm trying to keep patient.  I know it will all work out even though at times it seems as it wont.  Keep your fingers crossed the good news will arrive soon!

Weddings!!! YAYYYY! Two of my good friends are getting married at the end of the month! We will be heading to Farmville June 23rd to see my pledge sister, Tara, tie the knot! I cannot wait to celebrate such an exciting time of her life with her!  As for my other friend, Erin, I will not be able to make it to her wedding but I know it will be beautiful and I cannot wait to see pictures!

It's amazing how time flies.  I guess the saying "time flies when you're having fun" is the truth.  Craig and I have been so blessed with weekend get aways, a new deck, and being able to spend more time together that the time is just flying past us!  We are looking forward to an excited yet busy June and hopefully my nights won't be too busy!  Enjoy your week and HAPPY JUNE!!
