Fireworks!!!

"July 4, 2008"

So here's one of my pictures from this year's fireworks display at Lake Bloomington. It was a bit more difficult to take photos this year. Last year I had a camera with a fireworks setting. This year I had to figure out my own settings, but I think I found the right ones. Anyways there are more shots on my Flickr page and there are more on my hard drive to go through. Enjoy!

Happy 4th of July!!!

"Independence Day"

Happy 4th!!! Sorry that I haven't posted much. I've been rather busy. I have been helping my family clean out my grandparents' old house. There is a ton of junk in there. My grandparents were pack rats. They kept everything and were frugal almost to a fault. Still, we have found some cool stuff in there, like old letters, photos, and what excited me the most, was my Baba's Paska recipe. (Paska is Ukrainian Easter bread...I had had a copy once apon a time...actually I have had several copies, but they all disappeared.)

So anyways, I'll probably be doing more of the same tomorrow and then will go to Lake Bloomington for fireworks. The picture above I took at last year's display at the lake. If you want to see the others they are here: July 2007 set. Enjoy your Fourth!!!

Update

"Kiddie Wheel"

So, since my last post I have had my interview. It went better than I had thought and I will be teaching Sacraments and Morality at Central Catholic High School. It's going to be interesting working with my Dad and my Mother-in-law and all my old teachers.

Today I'm going to my future sister-in-law's wedding shower. I have to admit that my brother has impeccable taste...she is so incredibly sweet. They are really cute together.

Anyways, that was just a quick update. I'll try to say something with more substance later. Oh, and the picture above was taken at the Epiphany Carnival a week back or so. This is definitely in my top 10 favorite photos (of mine).

I'm Still Here

"We went to Coruscant!"

So, I am still here. It has been a busy several of weeks for me. I packed, drove from Ann Arbor to Normal with all of my worldly possessions in tow, and loaded all my stuff into a storage unit (I miss my stuff...OK, maybe I just miss having my own space, such is). Almost immediately afterwards I went to Disney world with my husband and in-laws. It was both fun and extremely stressful. We were only there for a couple days, so we tried to fit everything in. I do not recommend this. There were definitely quite a few frayed nerves. Yeesh.

"All My Worldly Possessions"

So now I am in Normal to stay and all I have to worry about is finding an apartment, finding the money to pay for the apartment, getting new contacts and/or glasses (I am on my last pair of contacts and my glasses are about 7-8 years old), interview for a job, help my husband study for the bar exam and then find a job, get the squeak my car makes fixed and to not go absolutely crazy.

So yea, that's my summer in a nutshell. I will wait to worry about it until after the 11th, because it's my 3-year anniversary. Anyways, I have some photos from my trip, and I will be posting them soon.
