This past weekend was a busy one! Friday night Matt surprised me with a small get together with friends at dinner for my birthday. Our plans were very last minute so I didn't expect to meet people out. It was nice to spend time with everyone and celebrate.

Saturday I had a volleyball game. Matt and Crew came to my game and then we met my parents at the Wizard of Oz festival in Chesterton. The kids looked so so so cute in their costumes! Unfortunately the weather was bad so we only stayed for a little bit and then went to lunch. Saturday night I had my monthly girls night out at Chrissy's house. I love always getting out with my bffs. Vanessa's sister, Allie, joined us this month, so it was fun to catch up with her.

Yesterday Matt took me shopping and then we went to my parents house for dinner. I received lots of nice presents from everyone. It was such a great night.

Tonight we are headed to Matt's parents house to celebrate. I will post pictures those pictures last this week! Have a great week everyone!

Busy Busy!

YAY! It's Wednesday already! This means only three more days till the weekend! I am still catching up from last weekend so I am looking forward to a low key Saturday and Sunday.

This past weekend we had my cousin Joanna's wedding. Friday night was the rehearsal dinner at the Waterbird in Chesterton. It was one of the nicest rehearsals I have ever been to. The food was delicious and it was so nice to visit with friends and family. Saturday was an early morning. We had to be at my aunt's house by 7:30a.m. We all got our hair done, ate, and were picked up by a stretch hummer in the afternoon. The ceremony and reception were a blast! Joanna looked so beautiful and it was such a joy to see how happy they were. After the reception, my sister and her husband, and Matt and I all stayed at a hotel. Thanks to Gma and Gpa Schnick for watching Crew while we were away. It was quite a help! Finally, on Monday we went to Gma and Gpa Schnick's for a cookout. Overall it was a good weekend, but a long one!

Hope everyone had a great weekend too!

Saturday Crew and I are headed to the Popcorn Festival in Valpo with my mom, sis, and Lincoln. The following weekend we are taking all of the kids to the Oz Fest in Chesterton. Kendra is going to be Dorthy and the boys are both going to be the lion. OH MY GOSH~Am bought the boys matching costumes and let me just tell you, they are the CUTEST thing ever!!! You will die when you see them! For Halloween Kendra is being a cowgirl and the boys are both being cowboys. We already have some of their costumes together. Gma Rosetti is hand making the rest. The costumes are so cute!!!! We cannot wait to dress them up! Amber also had Halloween bags made for the kids. Can you tell we LOVE LOVE LOVE this holiday?!?! I am already getting my Halloween decor out =) We are planning our second annual costume party again this year too. Fall is definitely my favorite season!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Full week!

Well, it was my first full week back to school. I am really glad to be back and enjoying every minute of it. As I was talking to my mom on the phone this morning on my way to work, we were talking about jobs. She made a comment to me that not a lot of people love their job. I responded with, I love my job! ;-) I must say it truly is a blessing to say that I love coming to work everyday, working with such great people and students, oh, and getting out at 2:45 ;) With volleyball it can be tough, but overall it is so worth it.

Speaking of volleyball, last night one of my past volleyball players came back to see me. She wrote me the nicest note. It meant so much to me. She also bought me some beautiful jewelry as a thank you . Brandy is so sweet. She was a great athlete and student. I miss students like her once they are gone! Again, people like her remind me of why I do what I do :)

Matt had an awesome time camping with all his friends last weekend. They also got to golf, which Matt loves! Crew and I went shopping with Amber, Kendra, and my dad Sunday, but after that we all had a cookout at my mom and dad's house. Matt met us there. It was so nice to hangout with all of the fam again and to eat great food!

Matt also started school again. He is taking a full load this semester. I am so proud of him for going back. We both started back last year and have stuck to it. It is hard going back to school with a family, full time job, etc. I know we can do it though! It will be worth it in the end!

This week has been a busy one. My cousin, Joanna, is getting married Saturday. Matt was nice enough to watch Crew Tuesday night while I get a mani and pedi. It was such a nice couple of hours to relax. Tonight I have a game in Valpo. Matt and our friend John are packing Crew up, heading to Best Buy and then meeting my dad at my game. Tomorrow night is the rehearsal dinner and Saturday is the wedding. We are SO SO SO excited for Joanna's events! It is going to be a great weekend! We got a hotel with my sister and husband for the weekend so we are looking forward to hanging out with them too. Sunday and Monday we hope to visit with other friends possibly at a pool party or cookout.

Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend! XOXO
