Well, I've decided to take a few minutes out of my second-to-last week of school to provide you all with a quick update. It has been a pretty busy first quarter of 2009 and the last three quarters only look to be even busier! Here's the basics:
1. Brian continues to work at MTU Detroit Diesel and has been super busy working on a large project for the ordering system that the company is updating to. He has worked a lot of overtime in the last few months, but that looks to be ending now. He has been on a traveling freeze also and it's been nice to have him around all the time.
2. I'm still working at the Allen Park Public Library. I'm having fun putting together Saturday programs for the children and weeding the juvenile non-fiction collection. It's nice to have a bit of work to do even while I'm in school.
3. I'm still in school. Next week I will be done with classes for this semester and won't take anymore until fall. I should be done in May of 2010.
4. We made lots of trips home in March for birthdays and showers and weddings. It has been nice to stay in Belleville for the last little bit.
5. My sister Katie got engaged while she was on a trip to Colorado to visit friends with Kyle. They'll be getting married July 25, so the planning has begun. I'm in the midst of it all since I'm the matron of honor (makes me sound kind of frumpy!).
6. Brian's sister Jamie is getting married in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico on July 11. We just bought our plane tickets and made hotel reservations for the long weekend that we will be down there. It will be nice to have one relaxing vacation this year!
7. Brian's sister Jill is getting married in December and I'm going to be a bridesmaid! We're looking forward to going to Florida for this wedding since neither of us have ever been there before.
8. We have many other friends and family members that are getting married this year and we can't wait to spend their special days with them.
9. Brian is going to be playing on the church's softball team this summer. They had their first practice tonight. We'll see how well he does since he hasn't played in years!
10. We're in the process of looking for a house in this area. We've been looking a lot with a realtor from our church and have enjoyed the process so far. We're anxious to see what God has planned for us in the future!
In anticipation of owning a house soon, we decided to plant some fruits and vegetables that we can transplant once we have a yard. Here are some pictures from the first day we planted them. I'll keep you updated on their progress!
In other news, Brian has played his first two church softball games. Both games were wins for our team and Brian hit the ball every time he got up to bat. I'll be glad for some earlier games (these first two were at 9:30) so that there might possibly be a few more fans in attendance.
