I don't know how this happened, but Matthew and I have about $1000 extra for our trip home! Now we probably won't spend it since we're not doing anniversary presents. Our parents will pay for a good chunk of our meals. The rehearsal and wedding meals are obviously paid for. So we shouldn't have to spend that much on food. Maybe we'll go to The Gap and splurge a little since there isn't one in Lynchburg anymore. It's nice to have some financial flexibility though. Since it is our anniversary we can go a little crazy if we want.

Yesterday I cleaned the house like never before! Literally, I think it is cleaner now than it was when we moved in! (the house wasn't cleaned like normal apartments before moving day so the walls had lots of nicks and marks and the baseboards were dusty and dirty etc.) I woke up and had the desperate need to clean! I vacuumed the entire house. Then I mopped the living room, kitchen, hall, and bathroom. Yes, I moved all the furniture including our fridge around to get to all the corners! The bathroom took the most time because I scrubbed the shower and bath tub then cleaned the entire toilet, which desperately needed it. The kitten hid under the bed the whole time I was cleaning because of the vacuum noise and the wetness on her paws (which she associates with a bath!). It was a good day and now my house smells so much better! It will be so nice coming home to a nice clean house when our vacation is over. And yes, I did all this cleaning in my "under garments" and before I had even washed my face or brushed my teeth! I must have been ravishing, I know!

Since I don't know of any males who read this, I'm gonna go ahead and say it. I'm so sick and tired of my stinking boobs! They have grown so much in the past two years. Seriously, some of my favorite dresses and tops don't fit well anymore because of them! My graduation dress from college I was planning on wearing for the rehearsal dinner. But it looks terrible because it is strapless and my boobs just don't work in it! Matt and I went shopping to try to find new dresses for me but nothing fit well. Either the bust was too small and squeezed me (not attractive), or the bust fit perfectly but everything else was too long and too wide. It's quite the predicament when you are 5'1" wearing a size 0 pant but having a size 6 (or C-cup... I know unbelievable) bust. Of course, me being a girl, as I tried on dress after dress in my supposed size and finding them all un-zippable due to my horrid boobs, I come to the conclusion that I am fat. You think I'm over reacting but just ask Matt. Dress shopping was a disaster. I'm bringing home a handful of dresses I already own... so I have options. The two that fit the best overall are very low cut. Ok for our anniversary... I'm just not sure about the wedding and rehearsal. It's Andrea's day and nothing takes away from a bride than boobies hanging out elsewhere. If any male reads this, I'm sorry. Girls will understand. It's just one of those things.

I have one more day of school left for the year! School ends on Friday, but I am leaving on Tuesday to go home for the wedding. So tomorrow will be my last day. I was hoping to get to see the kids in my regular class one more time since they'll be graduating and who knows when I'll see them next? I'm going to take the class I'm subbing in to watch their graduation practice so I can at least see what will be going on. I'm so proud of them. All of them are so smart. I will miss them horribly next year. Today will be spent preparing all the projects for next week. I'm leaving packets for each substitute. The projects will be really simple. Having subbed before I know how difficult it can be to figure out projects you didn't plan. Since it's the last week of school anyways it should be a pretty chill schedule.

We're taking Emily Kitten home with us. That's right, the whole 13 hour drive. Hopefully she'll behave. We got her an adorable pink carrier in case she crawls under the driver's feet or something. I'm hoping she'll be content to wander the rest of the car. Sometime she has to take a nap so maybe it will be an eight hour nap! She takes a lot of naps during the day regularly. She'll be staying at my sister's house who has two boys and one male cat. Emily will probably hide somewhere the whole time! I'm hoping to be able to go visit her every day for a little bit so she knows we haven't abandoned her! I know, so much worry into a silly kitty! But she is our baby for now so she is spoiled.

Time to change the laundry loads and start cutting out project pieces!

Happy Sunday!
