Wow! I've been married for almost a month, oddly enough - and married life is great :)

The wedding was perfect - just like I'd imagined, and Drew and I had a wondeful time in Disneyworld.

So now we're working on getting our apartment put together, and just getting used to everything.

WEDDING COUNTDOWN: 1 MONTH!

So basically it's been a crazy week, going to dress rehersals and singing lot's of Hebrew.

And tonight is opening night for the Passion Play at my church!

Hopefully it will go well - we have a performance tonight, tomorrow night, then two on Saturday and two on Sunday.

What a crazy week!

On Saturday Drew moved into the new apartment, so that alone has been taking up tons of time - it's amazing just how much stuff is needed when you move. We've made multiple trips to Wal-Mart and Target, not to mention a rather expensive trip to the grocery store. Right now the only "finished" rooms are the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. The other rooms just have piles of furniture in them - no couch, chairs, or table yet. But it's definitely coming along.

So besides the apartment, I've been working on getting together all my stuff for sending out resume packets to school districts around the county. Ugh. Let me tell you, it hasn't been fun. My goal is to have everything done and mailed out tomorrow. Then comes the really fun part: interviews.

And finally to add to the busyness, this year my friend Katie and I decided to join the church choir and be part of the Passion Play - our church's Easter musical. It's a lot of fun, but with all the rehersals and performances (6 in all), I'll be ready for a good long nap when it's over.

In other news, my brother Phil is in Switzerland. He just flew over on Monday with a group from my church, and he'll be there for two weeks. They're helping out with some kind of conference and Phil's leading the music. Just thought I'd give him a mention since Jon got a post all to himself :)

My oldest brother Jon is a great guy. Even though we're six years apart, we get along great and have lots of fun together. We both have a passion for staying up ridiculously late watching movies and sleeping in even later the next day.

Here are some more reasons why my brother Jon is the coolest:
He can fix any problem with any type of electronic device, even if he's 15 hours away.
He was valedictorian of his class in college.
He can successfully pull off any foreign accent with 100% accuracy.
He loves Michael W. Smith.
He got me a talking West Indian manatee stuffed animal for Christmas.
He once went by the nickname "Jonno".
He read my entire Xanga and informed me that there was a severe shortage of posts written about him.....

Love you Jon :)

Hello all :)

Next month I'll be taking part in the annual MS Walk - I'm hoping to raise at least $50.00 for the National MS Society.

Go to this link:

if you'd like to sponsor me or learn more about the National MS Society. Thanks!

2 months till the wedding!

So Drew is moving into the new apartment this weekend...yay! Now that we actually have a place to live, we know the layout and how much space there is, so we were able to register for furniture and stuff. Registering is seriously one of the most fun things to do - you can scan anything you want and you don't have to pay for any of it! Definitely a good time.

What a doofus!

I packaged up my sister-in-law's bridesmaid dress and shoes and took them to the UPS Store this afternoon, and was very proud of myself as I sent it on it's merry way down to Key West.

However...to my horror, when I tracked my package online, it said that it's being shipped to Georgia!

Thus followed a frantic email to the UPS customer service department in hopes that it can be tracked down and shipped to the right place.

A valuable lesson can be learned here, folks. Always pay close attention to zip codes. One number wrong really can make a difference...

....although, I suppose Georgia is better than Oregon.
