Is it summer yet?

I'm sitting here in study hall. Why study hall you ask? well, the teacher didn't show up so I got to cover the class. Yippee!

Well, I went to Wichita this weekend. It was great. My mom and I had a total girls' weekend. We watched soap operas, ate angel food cake with strawberrys and whipped cream and of course chatted it up.

I also had the opportunity to spend time with my good friend Jennifer Cheng...oh wait, I mean Dr. Jennifer Cheng. She and her husband Jason just celebrated their first year of marriage on Monday. Last year Murad and I traveled to Wichita for their wedding. Like me, she did a lot of DIY things for the wedding. Last year we talked all the time about our plans for the wedding and how we did it. Her wedding was so cool. It took place at a local country club on the golf course with the reception in the club house. She also had three (yes, three!) dresses! Her colors were ivory, pink and chocolate brown. In addition, to DIYing most of the aspects of the wedding, she also did some cooking. She made white-chocolate covered and dark chocolate coverd pretzels as her wedding favors. They were so yummy! Murad and I took extras. When I visited her, she had just received her wedding album. It was cool to look back at last year! She and I both experience the post-wedding planning blues, but I think that's normal. Now we have so much more to do, that we are both kind of glad to have all that work out of our lives.

Ugh...so ready for summer! I'm dreaming of the pool!

Murad and I decided to hold off on the wedding bands for a while. We need to pay off our credit cards and save $$. I also didn't want to do anything that would jeopardize our honeymoon. Plus with Abby coming the summer, money will be tight!!!!!!!! Plus, I really love my simple band. It really symbolizes me and my relationship with Mr. Soup. We love each other and that's all that really matters in our lives. We're working together to achieve our dreams and goals!

Well, I guess I better get back to work! Luckily these kids are quiet and not disruptive. I should've brought work down.

Okay, well back to dreaming of summer!
