summer sum-up

So the summer started out pretty busy. Ok I don't know how I got a hyperlink on that sentence and now I don't know how to take it off.

In May I graduated with a BM in Music Education and ESL endorsement (and sang The National Anthem and Alma Mater at the ceremony!)...

The next day was Mother's Day, and I apparently did not get the memo to wear green.

Two weeks later, I married the love of my life!

It was (in my opinion... not that I'm biased) a beautiful and unique ceremony, and short and sweet. I hate

those weddings that go on forever. I mean, the girls are just there to see the dress and the kiss, and the guys are just there to eat cake. I'll probably do a wedding post later. By the way, the pictures are by our amazing photographer friend Cathy of Sparks Photography.

We had a dream-honeymoon at a place way classier than us, thanks to my travel-agent Aunt Mary getting us a great deal. The Le Blanc Resort in Cancun.... ah.... awesome week.

We came back and started semi-normal married life, which included my new nephew's t-ball games! T-ball is WAY more entertaining than pro sports.

Michael had a business trip to Chicago for a week, so I went to Conway and got my hair chopped off. I will not go to a hair place here... nobody touches my hair with scissors except my Uncle Wyck at Wyck's Place in Conway.

Michael got back and we left on a family trip to Europe. Wow! What an experience. A very exciting two weeks, to say the least. We stayed in youth hostels and a castle and holiday inns and a baptist seminary and took trains and busses everywhere and walked miles and miles every day. Other than the one time where I thought we were going to get murdered by drunks while looking for a hotel in a sketchy city at 2:00 AM, we had some amazing times.

We came back and I wanted a puppy, and so there was Delta (who I already posted about). She was cute and fuzzy-wuzzy and has more than doubled in size since then. And both of her ears are sticking up now.

Things have been pretty slow since then. I spend most of my time... doing nothing of significance. Being a stay-at-home housewife is not as great as it sounds. I'm very unproductive. Good thing I JUST SECURED A JOB YESTERDAY! I will be teaching voice and working with choir students at a high school here and substitute teaching part-time. I'm ready.

But until then, I shall continue doing what I have done a lot of this summer...

Being nerdy & wearing my awesome new glasses, hanging out with this cute dude ^,

Cooking a lot and making up recipes, watching movies with Delta,

walking the poochie, and, of course, being lazy.

Oh and also I'm constantly trying out new and faster routes home and to places, but usually they end up getting me lost and taking longer.

Okay that's it!
