Boy do I have news for you.

Hello Blog world.  It feels like it's been forever since I've sat down to write anything.  To be honest I can't remember the last time I was on here, but I also am unable to remember what happened last Wednesday....Sooo that's that.  Well, I just checked an the last blog was October 8th.  That's not so long ago, but in my world, it seems like it.

We've been so busy lately, I cannot even explain it.  Since so much has happened since the 8th, I'll try to bring you up to speed on what's going on in our life, and what's going to happen to the best of my knowledge.  Well we are doing great, busier than ever, but things are good.  I am not prego, in case you were thinking that was my news, it's not.  Hopefully someday I will be blogging about that, but not right now.  My wonderful news is that Kyle and I are moving back to Illinois December 15, 2011!  We are so excited!  I cannot wait to be close to my family again!  I am also really excited to be closer to a lot of old friends!  Woo!

Well that's all I really know about that.

Anyways, we went to Illinois for a few days last week/weekend.  It was really nice to be there, but it was just about the most exhausting weekend of my life.  We arrived on Thursday around noon, and didn't stop going until we left on Monday evening.  We had 2 weddings and a funeral.  It was a very emotional weekend, and extremely busy, I can't emphasize it enough.  Thursday we drove up early, then visited with JoAnn's family after her passing away that morning, then I had a hair appointment that evening, plus we shopped for Dad and me.  Then Friday I went to the doctor, mom and I had to run some more errands for I don't even remember, then we had a wedding rehearsal to go to, plus help decorating.  Saturday we ran around like crazy people looking for doughnuts and then at 9 I started working on Amber, Haley, and Sherry's hair and make up for Faith's wedding.  I finished around 1:45 and we were supposed to be at the wedding at 2:30 for the 3 o'clock wedding.  Let's just say I took the fastest shower ever and got ready in record time!  I was there and ready to send people down the isle at the right times.....right after Faith's wedding at 3pm Saturday, we drove across town to Geana's for Shawna's 4om wedding.  It was a beautiful outdoor wedding, and after her wedding we went to Faith's reception, and then back for Shawna's reception, and finally back to Faith's.  Saturday night we also helped clear out the reception hall for Faith's and get the church back in order for Sunday.  Sunday we had church, went to get flowers for JoAnn's visitation/ funeral, and had her visitation Sunday night.  We also set up for the dinner that would be after the funeral on Monday.  Monday Kyle and I had to be in Morton at 8:30 to drop Sophie off with Pam while we were at the funeral, and we had to pick up the chicken for the dinner.  It was supposed to be ready at 9 but it wasn't until 9:15, then we had to drive back to Delavan.  I was worried we would be late, but got there about 10 minutes before hand.  It was a very tearful funeral service, but we know she's in a better place and we'll see her again.  Kyle and I left for home around 5 and it rained continually the whole way back to Missouri.  It seemed like the longest trip ever.  We were so thankful to be home.

Tuesday and today, I've been hanging out with our neighbors.  Last night I enjoyed a nice glass of wine with 3 of the girls that live on our side of the building, and tonight one of them rescued a lost cat...it's been a fun few days.  I'm still so wiped out from the weekend, plus I had to work late tonight.  I'd say it's time for this girl to call it a night.

Until next time, Cheers!
