Whirlwind of Life

So my life from now until oh July 1st is going to be in almost constant motion. I have been busy working on my sister's bridesmaid dress and almost have it completed, tonight will be the finishing touches on the zipper and finishing touches on the lining and hemming it. I still will probably have to take it in some more as she loses more weight before the wedding, but that is simple. After I finish that tonight I will have to get started on Rachel's Shaver's bridesmaid dress. I have her lining cut out and I want to sew that to see if it fits before I cut out the actual dress material.
Tomorrow we are going to Outback steakhouse to celebrate Rachel's birthday. After we eat we will head back to our house for movies, games, and cake.
Saturday morning we will be getting up to go to the Buffalo and float it with IFO. So I expect we will come back exhausted.
Sunday after church we have a picnic lunch for the students who just graduated high school, to introduce them to 222. So I will have no nap on Sunday. You have no idea how marvelous it was this Sunday to nap until I woke up on my own. I had no alarm set because we had our spring concert that morning and that was the official end of choir for this semester. Sunday is Rachel's actual birthday so we will bring cake to Care Group to celebrate with them.
Monday we have Weight Watchers, yes I joined the band wagon. I was trying to follow it at home, but I was cheating and not honestly counting my points so I kept going back and forth from losing to gaining. I think knowing I have to weigh in every week and that I am paying for this motivates me even more.
Tuesday we have Bible study.
Wednesday and Thursday I will spend all afternoon and evening sewing.
Friday Rachel and I are taking Hailey up to Missouri to pick up her car that she bought. Saturday I will be sewing once again.
Sunday is Father's day, since we are orphans we have been invited over to the Sombke's house for a belated birthday lunch for Rachel.
Monday I will probably be finishing Rachel's dress.
Tuesday I will start the packing and preparing for travel.
Wednesday will be last ditch efforts to get it all together.
Thursday at about 4:30 am we will be heading off in Rachel's car to the great state of Maine. I will be driving from LR to somewhere in Virginia. I told Rachel I will start out with a BIG mug of coffee and when I finish that I will have to reach back for a bottle of Diet Mountain Dew and drink those until we reach Virginia, where Rachel will take over driving and I will SLEEP. If we leave at 4:30 and make short minimal stops we should arrive at about 1 am or 1:30 am. I can't wait we only have two more weeks until we are home again. The only obligation we have while up there will be our cousin Holly's wedding the 23rd. I am so excited.
