It's been a very long time

Sorry it has been so long since I posted. I was going to post in the middle of the month, but I just didn't feel like it. I'm still really upset about what happened at Virginia Tech. It is very hard to process something like that. I seemed to lose my sense of security in one instance and this unbelievable fear that someone I knew had been injured immobilized me. I will never understand why someone feels the need to hurt so many innocent people because of the pain he/she is feeling. Unfortunately what happened at Virginia Tech could happen anywhere. We need to enjoy life to the fullest. I have learned to let little things roll over me because you never know when you wont see the people you love again. I hope what happened brings everyone closer to their friends and family and that we all try to be a little nicer to one another.

So since the beginning of April, a lot of things have happened in my life. Rod and I have decided to keep looking for places, but we are ok with where we live. I keep going back and forth, but Rod really likes living where we live. Where we live allows him to not have to drive to work. Rod really does not like driving so I understand. It also is only 15 minutes to my work. I don't want to lengthen his commute or mine and I don't want to make him have to drive, but I would like to own something. We are throwing so much money away in rent. We do live in a nice place and I love being able to walk everywhere, I just wish we could have a dog and I wish our money was going to something that we owned. It's a good thing for us to stay though because then in two years when I have internship if I don't have a payed internship then we can at least afford to live where we live without struggling.

On Saturday April 7th was my Virginia bridal shower. It was so much fun. The games my sister and soon to be sister-in-law planned were great. They did a purse scavenger hunt and my purse won :) Also, they had to guess how old I was in pictures and if it was a twin picture they had to guess which one was me. They also had to address their thank you card envelops that made it very easy for me. I feel bad though because I haven't gotten thank you cards out to 5 people. (Vicky, I'm sorry....it's coming soon I promise!)

Wedding stuff is going fine. I can't believe the wedding is almost here. It's only like 11 weeks away. I don't have too much to do. The most I have to get done is stuff for the reception in VA since it's the weekend after my mom and I get back. I also need to figure out what kind of veil I want my mom to make. We ordered our favors and my grandmother picked up the jordan almonds. I really don't have too much to do. I really need to figure out what I want to do with my hair and what I'm going to have the girls do to theirs. We only have a hair dresser for my hair and my sisters (it's my aunt). Everyone else is going to have to do their own so I'm going to have them do something simple. I think I'm going to have them curl their hair and put it half up and leave half down. I know it is going to be warm, but it shouldn't be too bad. Anyway, I gotta go to lunch. I'll update later. I hope everyone is doing ok. Let me know if you think of small details of weddings that I might forget.
