What a month!

So I see that I have neglected my blog for sometime! Its been a crazy past of weeks. Craig is getting better. I am really trying not to say much because I do not want to hurt our lawsuit case.
I finally got an apartment! I love it! I am still getting settled in and fixing things how I want them. I just love having my OWN place, nothing like being able to go to your own place at night. Craig will move in once we are married, so he has been such a help in choosing things and helping me place things in the apartment. Plus I love watching him walk around and say things he is going to fix and make better! I love having a handy man!
I have been job searching, which really is not turning out so well. I just hope that I can get a job soon! I want to do something that requires my five years of hard work and that piece of paper! Plus I need benefits, funny thing once you graduate your parents insurance no longer wants to carry you!
Craig and I got to go the Maryland. My sister Cortney was graduating for high school so I wanted to be there to watch. We had decided that we would drive over to New Orleans and fly out there. We spent the night right next to Jackson's Square. We ate dinner at a really cute restaurant on Bourbon Street, I have always wanted to sit on the balcony of a restaurant and it was beautiful! Plus we got the chance to people watch from above which was fun! Than we headed to Baltimore the next morning. I love visiting my family, I wish they lived closer. We got to visit Inner Harbor some and saw a Baltimore Orioles game! Craig even got a shirt and hat to wear to the game! I loved seeing him wear one of the my favorite team's colors! Than it was back home to reality! I have definitely come to appreciate Craig with two good hands. I never realized how much he helped me before, especially when we travel. He usually helps with luggage and carrying items, mostly all of my little extras I am sure I will need on the trip! I just hope he gets better soon. I hate seeing him in pain and not able to do some of the smallest things.
Wedding plans are still in the works. We signed the contract for the Garden Center and I have to turn in the papers for the church. I was able to get 3 of the bridesmaids dresses when we drove through Mobile. They look beautiful! I am so happy with the color, which Craig picked out! My only preference was BLUE and he picked the particular blue Cornflower. I can't wait to see all of the girls in their dresses. I am still in the process of looking for decorations. I found a wonderful photography that my friend Brandi is using for her wedding. I saw Brandi's engagement photos and they are amazing! I can't wait to get ours!
Well thats enough for now...its almost time to celebrate my BIRTHDAY WEEK! Hopefully the month of June is not as crazy for May was!
