Busy little lady!

So I have been pretty busy that past couple of weeks!
School officially ends tomorrow afternoon for me after my last two finals. It hard to believe I won't ever register again for class, I will be actually walking across the stage Saturday morning. It has certainly been quite a trip! I have had such a time getting my invitations ordered, they finally arrived today!!! So I will be passing them out late so say the least.
Pelicans internship is going really well. We just had a big extravaganza the other night and it turned out so well! I can't wait for the rest of the season and see how well things turn out.
My family arrives tomorrow afternoon! I am so excited. I love it when my family comes into town! I really love seeing my brother, I miss them all so much but I feel like I miss so much of his life because I am not around to watch him grow-up. I know my sisters have grown so much as well, I never feel old until I realize my younger sister is 18, driving and graduating high school! Plus I'm excited that Craigs and my family get to meet!!!! I am so excited for them to get the chance to really talk to Craig and see how amazing he is.
Friday morning I get to try on WEDDING DRESSES! Pam, Christy, my mom, and my two sisters are driving with me to Mobile. I have finally gotten the chance to really be thinking about the wedding without feeling like I'm neglecting schoolwork. I am so excited to try on dresses and I cant wait to see how my mom reacts when she sees me. I have already been to Davids Bridal website to check out the dresses and pick some of my favorite.
I am so excited about the next few days! I feel like so much is coming together and plenty of stress is being lefted finally!

Back to Reality... no me gusto!

Wow want a week! Small update my parents found their dog!
I just got back from the cruise with Craig's family! I can not even put into words how much fun it was. I got to spend time really getting to know Craig's family, all of who I completely LOVE! I will just give some of the details, explaining all of it would take days!
We went on a five day cruise, stopping in Progresso and Cozumel. Progresso went spent on Chiken Itza, sounds like Chicken Pizza. It was some old Mayan Ruins. I got some really nice bowls at the ruins. Craig and I stood there bargaining with the lady, he has such good bargaining skills. After our purchase I realized it was the first item we bought together for our future house! It was such a cute moment! :) In Cozumel we shopped! I got a Mexican survival kit which includes a hat, blanket, two shot glasses and a bottle of Tequilla! I also got a blue topax necklace for super cheap!
The ship was amazing, FOOD all of the time! Plus there was a soft serve ice cream machine, I ate ice cream at all hours of the day! Definately thinking about investing in one for my house! :) A 24 hour pizza bar... don't think I will be eating pizza any time soon! I definately got spoiled with the food, dinner was sad tonight!
The first night they played a Name That Sound Game. Eric decided to place Carrie's name in there about 10 times. She was insistate that she was not going on stage! So of course who do they call, CARRIE! It took me about two seconds to realize she was serious, so I jumped up pretending to be Carrie! I almost won the game too! Craig's grandparents also got on a game, the Newlywed..Not So Newlywed Game! It was hilarious some of their answers!
The rest of the time we just spent playing around on the ship, golfing, laying out, just plan goofing off and having a great time! I had such a great time this past couple of days! I love spending time with Craig! I love how we just have such a great time together, laughing and giggling! Getting to share new life experiences make me look forward to the many more we will share the rest of our lives. I really appreciate the opportunity to spend time with my future family. I love them all so much and am so thankful to be marrying into such an amazing family.
So like the title states back to reality! School work has definately gotten behind in the past couple of days. Today officially marks the one month countdown.... so I guess I better get finished!
