A whirlwind of a month!

It seems to me that life just does not slow down, EVER, haha!

May is a crazy month!

* Going to NY this Friday for the weekend!
* Mother's Day.
* Helping my cousin/bff Melissa move.
* Bridal shower for my friend Monica and getting together a girl's day before the big day.
* Trying to find time to lay-out to get a good tan and get rid of these strap marks before Monica's wedding in June, ha.
* Memorial Day weekend which hopefully I can rack my brain as to something fun to do.
* My sister graduates at the end of this month from high school and so we're going to have a whole bunch of family coming in and we're throwing a graduation party for her.

And on top of this... doctors appointments, going to check out new churches, working, focusing on school and attempting to go to the gym three days a week, and these past couple of weeks I have failed miserably in this area.

Also, going to be registering today to take the RPR exam (Registered Professional Reporter.) It's a type of certification for court reporting. They recommend you start taking it while you're in school while everything is still fresh in your mind. I'm going to be taking the written knowledge portion of the test and it will be in July. Then in November I'm going to take the skills portion of the test, which is the actual machine portion of the test. So going to be ordering the book to study for that. I'm going to have to manage to fit study time for that in somewhere. I'm totally going into this test for the experience, if I pass, GREAT, but the first time makes you pretty nervous and you don't know what to expect, and not very many people pass it on the first try. But I'm going to go do my best, and if anything, I'll get the first time jitters out of the way.

So, life, take my advice. Slow down a little bit, would you?? :)

Again, another pictureless post. Nothing has been picture worthy my friends, but I will more than make up for that with NY pictures :)

Also, Mrs. Newlywed is doing a giveaway and you have a chance to win some pretty awesome free customed stationary. Hop on over and check it out and she's just flat out hilarious. You won't be sorry that you did!! :)

Happy Cinco de Mayo :) Anyone doing anything fun to celebrate? I'll be celebrating at school! haha! Have some mexican food and a margarita for me :)

I was just going through the same list in my head! May is going to be a BUSY month for both of us! I have so many of the same things going on! Thankfully it is all nice things, and nothing TOO painful.

How is your Church search going? Mine has "stalled" but hopefully it will continue after Mother's Day. Hope you're having a great Tuesday!
