It's been a busy two weeks

It is hard to believe that my two weeks of summer vacation are coming to an end already. Time goes by so quickly.

Seth and I made a quick weekend trip to Chicago to kick off the start of my vacation. Seth planned the whole trip and had tickets for us to see a show each evening. We started with The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, followed by Blue Man Group, and the finale was Wicked! I loved all three of them, but Wicked was probably my favorite. Glinda just made me laugh the whole way through! The music, costumes, and story was great. Very clever. The highlight of the weekend was definitely when I got pulled on stage for a bit during the Blue Man Group performance. I couldn't believe it when they kept staring at me. Talk about a nerve wrecking experience! How would you like those three faces staring at you! I guess I got my 15 minutes of fame!

Seth and I undertook the project of refinishing our deck when when got back home. It was something Seth really wanted to do, so we got Myron and Sheila to help us with the project. It looks so much better now that it has been cleaned and stained.

I made a trip to Cedar Point with KP and a group of students from Bethany. We had a great day with very short lines. I could not believe I got onto the Millennium Force twice, with less than a 45 minute wait each time. Unbelievable! Seth and I waited close to 3 hours the first time we rode it.

The last couple days have been spent making some progress on my class work. I worked through the first half of my world history class and am ready for my final exam in economics. What a relief it will be to have that one done! I got accepted into Goshen College's Transition to Teaching program and will start classes this August. I have two class this this fall, one next spring, and then just student teaching. It feels great to be making some progress through all of the things I need to get done before I can become licensed.

The next couple of weeks will be busy too. I head back to work on Monday and we have two big weddings coming up with Joel's next weekend and Josh's the following week. I guess that is all for now! We'll update later after all of the weddings and make sure to post some pictures.
