So, there is really no point for the title of my blog other than Erich and I have no AC in our apartment...and it seems like it is going to be quite a while. The guy checked it out today and said it is completely shot. So, according to our apartment, it could be "next week at the earliest" that we could get a new one. So, I could complain about not having AC... I mean, it sucks but here is my attempt to think positive:
1) While it is going to be the hottest weekend yet this season, it is not as hot as it COULD be.
2) I went to four years of high school without AC, so I am pretty sure I can survive a week "at the earliest."
3) We are in a place with windows in each room...which is a hell of a lot better than being in our old place which had a whopping two windows.
4) Finally, I just bought a new awesome tower fan, it is helping a ton!
In other news, Junior spent the night with me last night and the day with me today. It was pretty fun and he only peed my bed twice! :)
I have been a bit of a blogger slacker lately... I have some pictures to share, but sadly, this lappy resting on my lap is heating me up more than I need to be....so, maybe I'll upload them later on this weekend when it's a bit cooler in here.
I am a whimp, I know.

Quote I Love....
I love this quote...it's from Sex and the City.
"The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them, and others you don't. But, in the end, they're the people you always come home to. Sometimes it's the family you're born into and sometimes it's the one you make for yourself."
~Carrie Bradshaw~
It's so true :)

Busy, Crazy, Emotional Weekend...
This was such a busy, somewhat emotional weekend for me! It started bright and early on Friday, my day off…to make an extremely long story short my dad had to go the ER with some heart problems. Since this is public, I won’t go into many details but it was very scary. He is doing better now, but has a lot of work to do before he can be fully better. So, most of my day on Friday was spent in the ER hoping for the best.
Later that evening, Erich and I made it just in time to catch the Music as a Weapon Tour main stage. Performing was Lacuna Coil, Chimaira, Killswitch Engage and DISTURBED! It was amazing because it was all bands that Erich and I enjoy, but it kinda stunk because everyone but Disturbed had very limited stage time. I was lucky enough this time to be able to bring my camera in, unlike NIN in November where they sent me back to my car. I got some decent pictures, but our seats were not the best so some of them are hard to see.
Then, bright and early Saturday morning, me and quite a few of the girls I work with participated in the Angelman’s walk. This was the FIRST year for Omaha’s walk. A sweet little girl at work was diagnosed with this syndrome not too long ago. She is the sweetest thing and I would recommend to everyone to check out the Angelman’s foundation site to learn more about it. http://www.angelman.org/
She is such a beautiful “Angel” and I felt honored to walk on her behalf! I brought Junior along to give Jaimie a break from Mom duty and he froze his little hands off! Therefore, I did not take any pictures at the actual walk, but I did take some from our Village Inn stop afterward! My friend Sara had her 2 year old daughter, and my friend Rachel had her 2 year old nephew! Add two year old Junior and that makes a WHOLE LOT of 2 year olds at Village Inn! It was fun!
Finally, we spent our Saturday night celebrating a friend’s birthday! We played pool and it was an absolute blast! By the time Sunday rolled around, I was ready for relaxin, but I had to study for my finals! After this week, I am on break for a few weeks before my summer session of classes start… I won’t even really call it a break! It’s okay because I am ready to take my last session of classes by STORM!
This time, instead of waiting for this SLOW thing to upload all of my pictures from the weekend, I created a slide show! I thought I had some pretty awesome video footage from the concert, but listening to it now, I realize that my camera cannot handle that kind of noise! :( Enjoy!

My Addiction!
Seriously, these things are AWESOME! Now, when I say addiction, I mean 4 or less a month because at the price of $3.49 per smoothie they can get rather expensive. So ever now and again I splurge :) Pictured here happens to be one of my favorite flavors! :)

Slacking...Events lately...
I have been a bit of a slacker lately on keeping everyone up to date on what’s happening with me lately! First, I was finally assigned to my student teaching! Yay! As of right now, I think I will start on August 4th and I will likely be in the school until around the first week in January. I am working in a first grade classroom in District 66. I am pretty excited about the whole first grade thing! Wish me luck…..
On May 2nd, Jaimie and I took Junior to the Cinco De Mayo parade! It was SO much fun! I enjoyed listening to the music and watching Junior’s constantly changing face when all the “cool things” passed! I did learn something new…did you know that horses can be trained to dance? The parade had a whole crew of dancing horses there, and I was fascinated! I have video of it, but I have feeling it will take way too long along with the pictures to upload. So, maybe that will be something to share for another time.
"I wonder what's next?"
Jaimie kept catching shirts!
Jaimie and I being crazy!
Junior and I sticking out tongues out to keep us entertained!
Jaimie and Junior waiting for the parade!
Later that evening, we went to Kaylie's second birthday party!
She really loved her cake!
Jen, Jaimie and I had another little outing day with Junior! We took him to the Children's Museum! It is such a cool place and it has changed SO much since I went there years ago! Junior's two favorite things were the science ball area and the fire engine! It didn't take much to please him! Here are a few pictures!
This was his favorite fire truck!
He liked this piano too...you could push the buttons and it would light up on the big screen!
I love this picture of Junior trying to grab the ball that was being held up by the stream of air!
Whoops!
Then, this weekend Jen, Mike, Erich and I took Jaimie out for her birthday! She's 23, but it was intended to be a 21st birthday party that she never really had!
Erich and I at Roja!
Jaimie enjoying her margarita at Roja!
Sisters!
And....FINALLY....
Erich and I went to see the musical Wicked last night with his mom, sister and sister's boyfriend Kyle...and, well...it was AMAZING! I was entertained the WHOLE time and it did not seem like three hours had went by at all! I wanted to get Erich and my picture under the Orpheum sign, but we were not able too. I was not able to take picutres during the performance, but I did get this picture of the set...what a teaser for those of you who have not seen it! (and proof of the not-so-good-seats we had!) Ah, I just cannot say enough! It was WONDERFUL!
The Orpheum is such beautiful place!
Well, I guess I have learned my lesson in waiting forever to post about events! This has taken me way too long to write! Lesson learned!

So right...
Things have just felt so right for me recently....
I am finishing school in around six months.
I am so incredibly in love with such an amazing man...words simply cannot describe how amazing he is...
I have the best sisters a girl could as for. (and the best nephew too!)
I have the most amazing friends who have been there for me through it all...the good, the bad and the downright ugly.
I am just a really, really lucky girl :)
