Today is a bittersweet day. Actually, this week is a bittersweet week.
The sweet part of my week was monday because as of Monday, April 27th I am officially done my second year of school!!!!!! My last exam, my computers exam, was on Monday at 11:30 and by 12:15 I was done and out of there!!!! It is such a relief to be done and have 4 months before I have to do any kind of school again. Next year should be a bit more busy with school as I start my actual education degree and do a 5 week practicum during the fall semester.
Also on Monday was my bridal shower with the church. It was a good shower and I felt very blessed by everything that we received and the ladies that were there. Dan's mom and sister came up for the shower so it was good to see them and I very much appreciated the effort they made to attend. It was a little bit weird to be at the church for a shower that was mine though. I've been to so many different bridal showers there and then all of the sudden this one was mine.... it was a weird feeling, but I had fun and enjoyed the evening.
The bitter part of this week is that today is my last day of work..... Because I was going to be quitting in August, work decided to bump up my final day to today in an effort to save money (because of the economy....). So Tuesday evening the girls from work went out to the Keg for supper and just had a fun evening. I had rib and lobster.... and it was SOOOOOOOOOO good. It was a fun evening, but all week has been slightly overshadowed by the fact that I am done now. And as I am sitting at work now it's still kind of sureal that tomorrow I will not have to come in and I won't have the work keys that have been on my key ring for the last 4 years. It's hard to believe that it's been almost 4 years since I took this job, but it has been that long and it's a different feeling knowing that this chapter of my life is coming to an end, although I must admit that I am looking forward with eager anticipation for the next chapter!!!!
So that's kind of what's happening right now. A week of mixed feelings and events!!!!! In an effort to just get away to process, I am going to Cochrane with my mom tomorrow for my Aunt's graduation from seminary. It will be good because I won't be sitting around at home going "what do I do????" and when I come home it's gonna be busy, busy, busy because I am going to steam clean Dan's house while he is in Edmonton for school and then getting ready for wedding. So yeah, I'm looking forward to the weekend and then the craziness of the next couple of weeks before my wedding on May 16th!!!!! Whoo, hoo!!!!!!!

Spring!!!!!
Well, it seems to have been a while since I posted last, and since I am once again bored in art history, I'll do it again!!!!!
The past month has been quite eventful actually. School is winding down, so I am down to my last few assignments before exams start, so that is soooooooo exciting for me!!!!!! My classes end next week Tuesday and then I have four exams stretched from April 16 to 27. It has been a good semester, but I am more than ready for a break. I'm looking forward to the summer for sure!!!!! (For more reasons than one....)
My schedule in March allowed me to attend Friday night youth more often this month, so that was soooo good to do again. Just the chance to let the week stress go by acting crazy was muchly needed!!!!! I love helping with the youth, and although originally I was going to call this my last year, I'm not so sure now. We'll see where God leads during the summer I guess!!!
March also brought about some exciting events for Dan and me. We were able to rent out Dan's basement suite and so we have a lady moving down there in the middle of April. We also put up advertisements for my house, but so far have had very little response so we are praying about what to do there. We have a couple of options available, but it's just a matter of timing and God's provision. We also bought new appliances for Dan's house, went and did our wedding registry/certificate thingy and are now getting into the nitty gritty details of wedding planning. We've done 3 of the 4 pre-marital counselling with our pastor and that has brought about some good conversations, and overall it's just getting very exciting for us!!!!! My one roommate also moved out last weekend, so that is also making things a bit more real as well!!!!
And I think that is kind of about it. I am sure that there is more that has gone on, but seeing as I should be paying attention to class, I should probably go. Only 38 more days to go!!!!!!!!!!!
