Continuing the Edumacation

I think I must be crazy because I'm actually seriously considering returning to school to get my master's degree in education. I obviously wouldn't quit my day job, but I can't believe I'm considering this- I always said I would never go back to school. However, I'm hearing rumors of Graceland University offering their Masters of Education in Cooperative Teaching and Learning for under 9 grand for 2 years.....tempting if it is true, it would truly be worth it. I keep telling Jerod he should get his, too- there's some places offering Masters of Education in Sports psychology, will he take the bait?

By the way...under 3 months to go until the big shindig!!

Dessert dilemma......again

I should just not say anything about desserts until the day of the wedding. I emailed the Ames pie guy (he makes delish cheesecakes and pies, as stated in my earlier blog) and as it turns out the City of Ames has zoned them out of business. They were told they are too prosperous to operate out of their home, but they don't have the money to buy a building so they're done with their catering business now. Can I not just catch a break? Also, do you know anyone who loves to make yummy cheesecakes???

So Jamie, I know you're the only one who actually follows this blog :) I want you to know that I appreciate it though! Anyway, everyone has been wondering what hotels we've blocked for the wedding so we've been working like the Energizer bunny to get invitations all put together, stamped, addressed, and mailed out and you should be getting them next week. Jerod's first BIG official job for the wedding is to buy stamps and stuff the envelopes with all the inserts, stamp them all, return address them (again, with stick-ons) and then mail them out! Woohoo!! There's no turning back now....

Also, Jerod just picked up this season's West Marshall baseball tees today and I'm SOOOO excited for the season to start because that definitely means summer is upon us and I get to hang out with Jamie and the kiddos again, can't wait!

P.S. Do you just love Jerod's choice of a beverage container for my friend's wedding? It held candy as a centerpiece before it held his drink.....what a dweeb.....
