It's Sunday Night Already?!@#?

Wow, how the weekend flies when we go home! It was really a great weekend though. We got to my parents house late Friday night and hung out with my parents and Troy. Then in the morning Derek left and went golfing and spent the beginning of the day with his family and I spent it with mine. I got to go to breakfast with my parents, shopping with my mom, then "Goodwill Hunting" with my brother. Then we all went to the wedding. (Even my parents because Zach had worked for my dad for a while) It was a lot of fun and a beautiful day for a wedding. Plus the Stemen family is absolutely insane so any reception involving them is always a good time, especially when there's alcohol involved! Then we went back to Derek's parents house and made smores and jiffy pop. Then Sunday we went to our church, went out to eat with my family and Derek's family and then all went to Derek's parents house and played volleyball, even my dad and my brother who I have never seen do anything athletic. At first neither of them wanted to play but they both ended up getting into it a lot and it was great fun. I think my brother and dad just liked it because they were the tallest people and they kept blocking people and spiking it and none of us had a chance. My dad also took me cruising in his 1952 GMC pickup he's been working on restoring for the past few years. He finally got it done and is sooo proud of it! It was a lot of fun, we drove through Van Wert and everyone pointed and waved, I felt like I was in a parade!! :) Hopefully I can post a picture of it soon, my brother is supposed to email me some, it is awesome-and I could care less about cars or trucks. Now it's back to work tomorrow....That's the only bad thing about going home over the weekend, I feel like my weekend was wasted because I didn't have any time to relax. Next weekend is going to be the same way because we have to go home for JP and Rita's wedding. But I am taking Friday off this week because we have to leave at noon to get to the rehearsal dinner. That will give me a tiny vacation. Oh well, it's not like I work hard at work anyways! Anyways, that's about enough, I've just been rambling...sorry! Hope you all like the pics!

    I'm glad you had a fun weekend at home. I can't really picture your dad playing volleyball...and I still can't believe Rita and JP are getting married!

    I also was suprised about Rita and JP when I first heard. But, I think they could probably make a great match!

    In other random Bluffton engagements, I heard that Dan Hershberger and Nicole Yoder are engaged. I know you had classes with Nicole..did you know about this?

    I remember at the end of the year hearing they were together and thinking it was so weird because she ALWAYS talked about going to her boyfriends apartment and spending the night...of course right now I can't think of his name, but he had graduated with Derek. So, I'm definately suprised they're engaged, but I had heard they were together...I wonder what happened to the other guy? Oh well, from what she said about her other man, Dan seems like a much better guy, way to go Nicole! :)

    Maria and I are coming!! How does a weekend trip to Chicago for shopping and maybe a show sound to you? We were thinking Sept-Oct-ish...

    Sounds good, just let me know in advance because I'm busy a few weekends! One weekend in October I'm going to be in St. Louis for the ADA convention-will you (Abby Mo) be living in St. Louis by then?
