The joy of working weekends

I guess its been a while since I've updated. Not too many interesting things going on in my life. I dont have cute belly pictures to post, or pictures of adorable little kids, so I'll just ramble until I come up with something clever :)

Married life is great so far. Cant believe its almost been a month already. Wow. Its pretty crazy. When I see how close Michelle is getting to her due date, and how fast my niece Mara is growing, I really see that time goes super fast. I'm trying to enjoy every day and get the most out of the summer as I can...since its the middle of June already! EEK! We have camping trips, valleyfair, and lots of bonfires planned. Oh, and we hope to start building our deck soon! Never a dull moment at our house! It has been great lately now that Derek and I are finally on the same shifts. It is quite difficult to get big projects done when we are never home at the same time. Now as long as the weather cooperates the next time we both have 2 days off together, we'll be able to go camping for the first time this summer! :)

I'm a bit bummed that I have to work all weekend. There is so much going on, and it always seems to work out that way. Now I'll have the next two weekends off, and there wont be much going on. Im not usually all that excited about cheese fest. I usually go and get some cheese curds, talk to a few people, and go to the parade with my parents.. nothing too exciting. But this year, a ton of my high school classmates were going...who I havent seen, well, since graduation I suppose.. and it wouldve been nice to catch up. We didnt have a 5 year reunion...but I guess thats what facebook is for! haha. I still hang out with a small group of friends from high school, but lately I've been talking to more. Its just fun to catch up and see how different peoples lives are.. some are married, have kids...others havent done a thing since high school...others are finishing up grad school, and some live halfway across the country. Its pretty crazy.

Along with that, 2 of my friends got married on Saturday...and I really wouldve liked to go. And my cousin Nicole had her graduation party this weekend too. Not to mention, could've gone to Chicago to watch the Twins! ...although, that wasnt really a necessity, it would've been fun!

Oh well...there's always next weekend! ;) Derek was able to pick up overtime though, which was nice! Since he knew he wouldnt get to see me at all anyway...might as well make some money I guess! At least one of us can still get overtime!

I suppose..my break will be over soon. Better get back to work.
