Post-Graduation

Graduation weekend was so hectic! Plus I was borderline sick due to my allergies, so that didn't really help things. Overall, though, I am so happy that my family was all able to come to watch me graduate. I kind of felt bad that I wasn't able to spend more time with them, but let's be honest, it was more important to me to see my friends that I am going to miss soon. I think (slash hope) they understood! I was also SO happy to have Donny there. He definitely, definitely kept me sane throughout the whole thing. I can't wait to be there when he graduates in a month! Plus I bought a new dress to wear, so that's exciting.

So now I'm back at home, slowly but surely unpacking, while enjoying my new TV :) It is my graduation present from my parents and I am SO happy with it! It's actually funny how it happened... I was just randomly talking to my parents, and I let them know that I wanted to buy a new TV with the graduation money I got. My dad sort of disappeared for a few minutes and when he came back, he had a TV with him! They were going to give it to me the next day, but figured it was too perfect of an opportunity to pass up! And it's nice, because it's bigger than the one I would have bought for myself, so yay! Now I get to keep that money to spend on something else, too!!


"The Real Housewives of New Jersey"... let's just say that I just watched my first episode and I am completely, completely addicted already. I love Bravo beyond belief. They just need a "Real Housewives" for every city in America... "The Real Housewives of Des Moines"... it might work, yeah?

In other news, Laura is saving my life by GIVING ME (FOR FREE) a great black leather couch, a super kitchen table and chairs, a mattress, a desk, end tables, a few appliances, and maybe a couple lamps for my new apartment. Aka... she is saving me at least $600. I LOVE HER. We're going to have to figure out what to do though... I really don't think we have room for all of that furniture in my basement, especially since my dad is trying to finish it. I don't even know if we can get the couch downstairs. Meh. I'm not about to turn down this furniture. If you're not planning on going to her garage sale, you definitely should, because she's going to have so much great stuff!!

Plans for the rest of the week:

• finish unpacking
• finish Zach's t-shirt blanket
  
• maybe stop by the call center and verify that they really will take me back for the summer. Honestly, if not, I have NO idea what I'm going to do. I REALLY need a job.
• schedule a lunch with my grandparents and cousin
• go to OU!! then drive to kentucky for zach's graduation party!

I'm really looking forward to this 4.5 month summer :)
