Wait...what?!

So, June is almost over and done with. It's officially Summer, and my weeks have flown by way too fast. The family reunion was so fun. I got to talk to Andy and Alaina about their engagement and my upcoming trip to Chicago to see Andy's sister, Jessica. We ate lots of great food, played corn hole, caught up with everyone, and it was a beautiful day on top of it all!
That's just some of our family. It was a great turn out!

Me, mom, Tyler and Joey went to the drive-In afterwards in our pajamas and watched Madagascar 3 and Mirror Mirror. But I fell asleep during Mirror Mirror :(

On June 14th, I got to see my roommate-to-be Megan before she left for Mackinac Island for her summer internship. We met up at Somerset to shop for some cute summer clothes, and I stopped by the Apple store to see what was up with my iPod. I had it for 5 years, but something inside ended up malfunctioning, which turned out ok because my replacement is silver, and 120gb, compared to my old 80gb, black one. I love it :) And it was relatively cheap to replace which was great for my not-so-big budget. Coincidentally, someone who graduated a year ahead of me helped me with the whole process. What a small world! We headed over to Partridge Creek after and enjoyed the live music while we touched everything at Sephora :) Afterwards, we went back to her house and had a nice going away dinner. I'm going to miss her!

The next night, my friend Joe who lives in Las Vegas was in town and his friends were playing at Blackstone's, so Sean, Danielle and myself headed over and met up with him.

I got a delicious creamsicle martini while I was there. We saw some people we graduated with as well...Nick Brisbin, Ryan Cawood, Cole Skinner, and I even got a glimpse of Cade Surface. It was like a mini high school reunion haha.

The next night was the highlight of the month!! Bernadette and Eric's wedding reception. They got married in Hawaii on June 9th and then their reception was in St. Clair Shores. It was a great night with awesome friends. The family style food was amazing, and the photo booth was so fun. Bernadette even called me over to have a photo booth session with just the 2 of us :) Jesse and I ordered a whole bottle of champagne as a joke, but the bartender produced it!
Here's a picture of me and the beautiful bride, Bernadette.
Yes I am dumb and wore an ivory dress to a wedding. Ooops.

On Wednesday I went to the Drive-In with Nick and we saw That's My Boy & The Dictator. They were ridiculous as expected, and my car battery died! Never a dull moment.

This past week-end, I became a certified wedding planner through The Bridal Society. The classes were long and intense, but went by so fast because I am so passionate about the wedding industry, and Laurie Hartwell was so enthusiastic about everything she talked about. She was a wonderful instructor and I would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!

Today was my final for Hospitality Informations Systems and Thursday is my final for my cultural differences class. Next is Macro economics and hospitality human resources starting on July 2nd. Today I paid for my last month at Burnt Tree, and in August I start living at Abbott Place apartments. I also got a call today for an interview on Thursday to become a leasing consultant at Woodbrook apartments in East Lansing. I think it will be a very fun job if I get it! Tomorrow I'm going to go see Brave with my Grandpa, Tyler, Joey, and my mom.

Continuing the Dream

So I asked and you answered, I'm keeping the blog and continuing to update on my life. But I should probably change the title? I don't know. I'm going to keep updating it at least until I graduate from Michigan State University, which will be about a year from now. A year from now will be a very exciting time for me :)

Speaking of big events, today 6 years ago I graduated from high school. I can't believe it's been that long already. Sometimes it feels a lifetime away, and other times it feels like just yesterday. I suppose it depends because when I'm around my friends who I've known since then and beyond, of course it feels like no time has passed. But when I'm alone at MSU or thinking back on all I've done since I've graduated, I can't believe all of the amazing things that have happened in that short amount of time. I guess it's all relative, huh?

My subdivision is having a garage sale this week-end, so after school today I spent hours at my Aunt Stephanie's house getting the garage ready. There is a lot of stuff! So hopefully I'll be able to sell some of it. Whatever doesn't get sold will be donated.

On Friday, June 1st, Trisha had her birthday party. It was on a hot pink school bus that was converted into a party bus so there were 2 long benches instead of rows of seats. There were so many of us and we went to 4 bars throughout the night. It was a really great night that went by way too fast! It was great seeing some people that I hadn't seen in so long.

This weekend is the Kaczperski family reunion. It will be especially great because family is flying in from Florida, New York, and even California! I will get to see many of the new babies, and enjoy seeing my family, playing games, and catching up.

On Saturday, June 16th, I will get to celebrate my good friend Bernadette's marriage. She and Eric are getting married in Hawaii on June 9th, but the reception will be back at home so we can celebrate with them :) I can't wait to see her, she is such a wonderful friend and I love them both very much.

The next week-end is my wedding planning certification I talked about in my last blog post. I wrote a scholarship essay for the class and actually got in the top 10! Being in the top ten put some money towards the class, so I'm glad it won't be so expensive :) All my week-ends this month are booked!
