Yes, I'm still here. So I got to see a bunch of you this past weekend at the '06 graduation. Wow. It's amazing how the reality of SUA is so much more real and pleasant and, well, real, than my life up here in Spokane. Granted it's real up here. I mean, working 7 days in a row over memorial day weekend is certainly a reality I have to live with, but still. It was nice to be home again. Of course Alli was missed greatly. But we still had fun. Sort of anyway. Amazing how such a good time can be so depressing! :D

Anyway
I'm working on going to our West Zone SGI meeting in Denver, but it's looking like plane tickets might just be out of any price range I can afford. So we'll keep chanting about it. My parents want to go too, so we're working together on this one. :D

Otherwise, life is good right now. I moved back down to hardware, so I'm working with heavy tools again. Amazing how 3 months of clothes, towels, and pillows kinda makes you forget how heavy 6 piece power tool sets are. Whew! So I'm growing muscles again. It seems like everyone is leaving Sears right now to get jobs at a local WalMart that's turning into a 24 hour super center. Apparently the pay is better. I dunno. There's a Babies 'R Us opening across the street from my apartment and they're hiring, so maybe I'll check them out. I'll be less likely to shop while I work there. ;) Not that I'm really looking to switch jobs...it's just frustrating sometimes.

For those who haven't been in the loop...
I got into Gonzaga's MIT program and I'll start in the fall. I should have my masters and elementary teaching certificate in May or June 2008. By which time I hope to be Mrs. Rabbitt, or Mrs. Rorie-Rabbitt, or Mrs. Rorie, or Mrs. Rabbitt-Rorie...or Whatever. But that's another story.
I'm going to be a bridesmaid in Vicky's wedding which is just so way cool I can't even express it. After being gone for 4 years it's nice to know that all my old High School friends still love me. 'cause of course I love them!

I'm just really busy doing what seems like nothing right now, but I can't wait to start school again. Apparently the only course I need to take because my undergrad edcuation just didn't cover it well enough is, drumroll please, Washington State History. Big surprise on that one. SUA in California wasn't real big on making sure everyone learned Washington state history...though perhaps they should have been. ;)

Well, I'm off to go dye my hair red. :D I'm way to excited about that.
It was great to see everyone and I can't wait for us all to get together again soon. Maybe the next alumni meeting. Or my wedding. Eventually right? RIGHT!!!!!
Later ya'll!
