End of Year!

This past Friday was the official last day for teachers. YAY! What a school year! I've made some wonderful new friends and enjoyed my students and coworkers so much. It also gave me the chance to fall in love with teaching again and I'm looking forward to (hopefully!) being in the regular classroom next year.

All of us out to lunch at Kabuki on our last day. You can't tell but the "cool" people in the middle have on their sunglasses :)

As for a house update...the house is really coming along. They put in the cabinets this week and started painting the outside. You can see in the pictures that we have a variety of brick colors on our house so those will all be covered up with paint. They should start painting the inside this week as well. Besides paint, all that's left is countertops, light fixtures, carpet and hardwood floors. We are SO excited for the house to be ready!!

Almost done bricking. You can't see the different color brick with this shot but...

Different colors! There are probably three or four different colors on the house.

Kitchen before cabinets and floor....














And after!


This weekend Richie and I are having a movie night with some friends (girls will see Sex & the City and boys will see The Strangers). We will all go out to eat and then split up for the movie. Saturday night Richie is taking me to the Melting Pot. In addition to being one of our favorite restaurants, the Melting Pot holds many memories for us- it's where we had our first date after getting back together and where Richie proposed. I am so excited to get dressed up and go out to dinner just the two of us. Naturally we'll take the classic pose at the table so I'll post a picture on Sunday.



Otherwise everything is coming along with the wedding. Invites went out last week so check your mailboxes! I'm using my free time to do all the last minute wedding things (which are many more things than one would have guessed!). I think only 41 days left...wow! Can't wait to see everyone :)
