the first major thing that took place was graduation. i survived my first 8th grade graduation with minimal setbacks and almost no drama. did everything turn out well? absolutely. was it perfect? absolutely not, but i will work on nearing perfection in the years to come. did i accomplish everything i set out do do this school year? no, but my main goal was to simply survive, and that i did. they say that a class like the one i had this past year only comes along once in a blue moon. well, in all humbleness i would like to say that i paid my dues and i deserve a break for at least 5 years until my next challenging class walks through my door. ok, maybe 3 years...but still. at least i know next year's class coming up will be somewhat a breath of fresh air for me. i've already had them for one period this past year and know them pretty well. they're a lot calmer, more respectful, but albeit kind of nerdy. and, i mean that in the most endearing way. we'll see if they stay the same once the school year starts.
what other things have consumed my life these past few weeks? well, my cousin had a baby! we have a new baby boy in our family (pictures to come!) and everyone is excited. the cousins, david, and i have been into playing monops (our term for monopoly, of course) and rock band until 5 in the morning. i'm trying to get into the habit of working out and am thoroughly enjoying the workout classes at the gym. and, perhaps the most apparent thing taking up my time nowadays is the wedding. oh, this summer is turning out to AWESOME!
some things to look forward to in the next few weeks:
- visits from socal friends
- visits to socal friends
- birthday's galore
- girlfriend cruise to mexico
- getting ready for next school year
- ...and more wedding stuff

hi dee!! i wish you were at father pat's retirement / birthday celebration last night! i kept hoping you and david would all of a sudden pop out of nowhere! :) it was a really great reunion, and a very emotional one for many of us. i took one look at angie walking down the aisle to get communion and i couldn't help but cry because she was all teary-eyed! i sang for father pat during the program and could barely get through the song because i was in tears. i'll blog about it soon. miss you so much, friend.
