I can't believe that May is almost over! Time is FLYING by, and life keeps moving right along. Dan and I spent 6 days in Las Vegas, and it was pretty great! It was HOT, but we did a lot of fun things. We went to Cirque du Soleil, which I highly recommend! Also, we saw the Bellagio fountains, Mirage volcano, and many other free "shows." If you are looking for a relaxing vacation, Las Vegas is not the place I would recommend, and I don't know that Dan and I will be one of those couples that goes back every year; however, I do want to go back from time to time! It was lively and fun, and I enjoyed it a lot!
Next week, I start my summer class at SIUe. I am pretty excited to ease my way back into the swing of school, but I am nervous to be working full-time and taking a class. Suddenly my time off isn't going to be about me relaxing, and I have gotten so used to that in the past year! I definitely need to just push through the summer so that I can step down from my full-time position. Not that school won't be busy, but I think I am ready for a new challenge! (always need something new to complain about, right?!)
Wedding plans have not progressed too much. Dan and I met with msgr and Epiphany about the wedding, and we are currently supposed to be picking our readings and vows ;). Also, while Dan's sister is in town in June, 5 out of 6 of my bridesmaids and I will head to Champaign to pick out the bridesmaids dresses! I am pretty excited about this! It should be a lot of fun to have all of my girls together :) (side note - I have been watching a lot of "say yes to the dress-bridesmaids & bridezillas, and I am SO grateful that I am lucky enough to have such wonderful women standing up with me! I can't imagine the extra stress of crappy bridesmaids!) Along the same lines, my wonderful MoH is getting married next September, and we both found our dresses at the same shop! AND! We are sharing a veil and slip for our dresses. I am so happy that we can save some costs and have some shared items. I think it makes them more special! So lucky to have her!
