Mom has always told us not to leave anything remotely valuable in the car lest someone have motive to break in. Today we saw exactly why that was good advice. While out, a car not four spaces away from ours had a window delicately smashed (or not so delicately, however you so choose to look at it). The four police cars in the parking lot served as evidence that someone had indeed broken into it. Kirstin was paranoid for the rest of the day, but I think I'll never forget to heed mom's advice from here on out.
This evening I spent some time trying to find the best mode of transportation to Amy's wedding in the beginning of July. So far I think the train is the most economical way to get from MI to WI and back. As long as that experience is as pleasant as my previous one nearly 2.5 years ago, I think I'll be in great shape :). Rachael's wedding, on the other hand, is a bit easier. Hmm... let's see, how should I travel to Grand Rapids. Should I fly. Train? Bus? :P Uhh... drive. Yes! I even have a place to stay with several other Maddawgs that weekend. Since it's June 14th, Tim will have just finished school and Kirstin will be traveling home from her orientation at Taylor. What an eventful time!
Speaking of eventful... here's what our 'social' calendar looks like:
May 26- celebrate my b-day with the fam
May 30- celebrate my graduation with the fam (including g-ma this time)
June 1- family celebration of KK's graduation
June 3- KK's graduation ceremony
June 7- Mom's b-day
And then there's Mom and Dad's anniversary and Father's Day soon thereafter. I've lost track.
Even with events planned and things to do, it's a dreadfully difficult transition from the jam-packed-no-room-for-breathing-let-alone-sleeping schedule I ran just a few weeks ago. I like sleeping. But I also enjoy goals, deadlines, and at least a little bit of stress to keep things in order. And no, being concerned about finding a job does not count under that category of 'stress'. Nice try.
I'm getting antsy. And it's not even June. Oh dear... :P
