Exciting News!!!!

Well here it is...the exciting news...

I got a school counseling job!!!

I went to the interview today. While I was waiting, four other people went in wearing suits, panty hose, and briefcases...I was sure I was done. I went in and did my thing...and I thought my Mt. Lebanon interview was better...so I thought for sure I didn't get it. Well, they told me they would contact me in a couple of days if I got it. Well, an hour and a half later I got a call and he said, "We just finished our interviews and we decided we want to offer you the job". I almost died!!! Granted, it's not a permanent position, but it is a year long position. A whole year!!! And with 11th and 12th graders. I'm so excited. It's going to be such great experience!! Hopefully get me a better job next year. The only bad news...it's realllly far away!!! Well, I think so. It's at Butler High School. An HOUR away from me :( So...the Rav is going to get lots o miles on her!!! But it will be worth it and gas is going to be a killer, but we still think it will be worth it. Nate and I had talked about it already and decided I should take it if I was offered it. I start in like three weeks!!! Now I just have to quit my job now...eeek. I hate doing that. Hopefully they don't hate me!!!

So...I can finally say I'm using my masters degree for what it was meant to be used for. Yay!

Good times!

It's been pretty busy lately, but we've been having such good times. This weekend was a blast, but it definitely went too fast! Friday night we went out to dinner with the Spaniks and Berry Anns and then went back to Jon and Val's to play games. I haven't laughed that hard in quite a long time. It was so fun and I'm so glad we have all kinda 'bonded' as a little group of friends! It's so nice to have just 'nice' and kind people to hang out with!
Saturday afternoon was Dana's bridal shower and it was perfect!! Dana was so beautiful and got so many nice things. Although it did remind me of my own shower and made me a little sad that it was all over...but I knew that was going to happen! I had so much fun at Dana's shower and it was a beautiful day. I can't wait until the wedding :)
After that we went to the 3rd Annual Bixler Bonfire. I was excited because this was the first year I didn't have to work! There were so many people there and we all had so much fun! We played some good ole Cornhole and ate wonderful food. Good times had by all!! Nate and I are looking forward to having our own soon!
This weekend is the yard sale and I'm so excited because this means I can get rid of more junk!!! And it's also sooo much fun, sitting with everyone and laughing at some of the strange yard sale junkies. I can't wait to see how much we can make from all our junk ;)
On the last note, Andrew (my photographer) sent me a slideshow of some of our wedding pictures. He isn't totally finished with all of them, but the ones that are done are beautiful! I love them!! Here is the link if anyone is interested :)

Rachel's Outing a Success!

This past Saturday was the 11th Annual Rachel A. Mogielski Scholarship Golf Outing and it was a success!!! It was the first year Heather and I were the co-directors and I think we did a pretty good job. Of course we had tons of help, and our friends really stepped up for us and graciously gave us their day to help out. I'm pretty sure all 168 golfers had a great time and we reached our goal that we set for ourselves in order to give out the same amount of scholarships last year. And the best part as always was meeting the scholarship winners and hearing what they had to say. It just reminds everyone why we do this every year and of course to remember and honor Rachel- who I think was darn proud of us too. We learned a lot this year and are looking forward to next year :)

On another note - we got some wedding pictures!!! Our wonderful friend Val took a lot of pictures for us and gave me the cd yesterday. They are wonderful!!! I'm so grateful for them because I still haven't gotten our professional ones. I'm just going to post a couple now and add more later! Enjoy!!

Golf Outing...

Sooo...everyone keeps asking me if we are getting settled and used to being married. Well...the answer is kinda yes and kinda no. Yes because it's strange coming to Nate's house (well, my house) every night instead of my parent's house. No because I have been soooo busy since we've gotten back with the golf outing.

For those of you who don't know, my sister and I are the co-directors of a golf outing which benefits the Rachel A. Mogielski Scholarship Fund. This is our first year as the directors and it is a lot of work. BUT, we knew going in that especially with the wedding and all it would be busy. We are so happy to do it, but it's crunch time now and there is a lot of running around! Thank goodness for the previous directors and their help. The outing is this Saturday and I think we have done a good job so far...let's just hope everything goes alright this weekend!!!

As for when I do feel 'really married'...it's been AMAZING :) I married the most amazing man and I have been truely blessed!!

I'm a Walker!

Okay...so I'm actually doing this. I'm blogging!! At least two people promised they would read it, so here goes!

I am officially a Walker now!! Nate and I got married a little over 2 weeks ago on June 28th. It was the most amazing day of my life. Besides it going way too fast, it was perfect. I wish I could have frozen time so I could have spent more time with everyone, but all in all it was everything I have ever thought it would be. We spent our honeymoon in Hawaii and that was absolutely amazing as well. I have tons of pictures to put on here, but I haven't gotten the time at this exact moment so you'll have to wait in anticipation ;)

I'm starting to settle into the house. There are things everywhere right now, especially clothes. Since we haven't gotten our new furniture yet, my clothes are just about in every room imaginable. I love having a house though, it's such a good feeling. I think it's finally settling in that I'm married...which is so strange! But wonderful :) I already love being a wife.

So...keep a look out for pictures!!
