Alright You Whiners

Hi guys. I don't really have tons to say, but here's a quick update.

• Volleyball: We are still losing. But you should come watch us anyways! It's a grand ole time. HEY HOMETOWNERS, I'm at North Manchester THIS Saturday at 6, come by to see the game! It's about as close as we'll be to the Chicago area this season.
• School: Still here, despite wishing to the contrary.
• Grades: With a lil rounding up, I'm at a solid four-oh, y'all.
• Work: Um, the candy is good. Laffy Taffy jokes'll keep you going.
• Time: Not quite enough of it, and it's flying by.
• Sleep: I'm still really good at it. It's a skill I've been working on. I've even got the maid beat now. No more waking Err up at 9 on a WEDNESDAY. No sir. Dead to the world.

Well, there ya have it. I'm doing well, I like my music, my roomies, and my twice-weekly weekends. I miss you people back home, can't wait to see you again! Dan-O, I hope you can make it to the game with everybody on Sat. Love you all. See you soon!

**Edit as per request**
Dad, in plain English: The bloody maid comes in at 9 O'CLOCK on Wednesday mornings to clean our rooms. I, therefore, am snug in my bed at such an ungodly hour; and am rudely awakened by said maid. BUT, I have defeated the system. Either 1) I get up BEFORE she comes in so that I can give her my old sheets and get new ones - and maybe even have her make it for me, gotta love maids - or 2) I sleep RIGHT THROUGH her vacuuming and other noisy activities. Obviously, I prefer the latter, and I have it down pat now. Unfortunately, the housekeeper won't change sheets when I am wrapped up in them. There, all clear now? See you guys on Saturday!

I Think She Likes Him

Here's a before picture. If you'll look closely, I do believe I am giving the camera the finger for this one. That hair is HOT, y'all. Lil advice for those of you with curly hair...never ever ever blow it dry with no product in it.



















Oh my goodness, look at my handsome schmandsome boy! That kid's only eight...and he's workin' that tux!














This hill was treacherous.














The ceremony was beautiful. Here are the bride and groom taking communion together.
















It was a gorgeous wedding and a perfect day! I might post more pictures later. If not....enjoy these! I should get back to schoolwork now. Only two more days til the weekend!!

Interview with Caterpillar on Friday! I'm excited/nervous; but it will go well and whatever happens, it will be good experience for later on. :) I think I am going to go out and buy a business suit. An investment in the future. ;)

My sister's a newlywed! I have a few pictures from the wedding, but they are on everyone else's sites. So I will post ones that they won't. Hehe.

One highly attractive picture of yours truly. Posing for a younger sibling at the rehearsal dinner...yes, I did look up from stuffing my face every once in a while.
















Here's the story about this next one: Betsey and I didn't bring any button-down shirts, but we had to get our hair and make-up done before we got dressed. Which meant we borrowed my dad's shirts. The result was stunning. Lacey is in the middle in the normal-sized shirt. Yeah bridesmaids!















This one has already been posted elsewhere...but it's me and my Jaymi!!! Miss ya, kid! And can I just say that I had taken off my shoes in this here photo...the flip flops give the illusion that I am a shortie. Ok, maybe I am.















And last but not least...the beautiful bride!!! She might kill me for this one.

Procrastinating Like a Professional

My mini-vacation is over. And I am still stretching it as faaaar as I can make it go. I'm getting a haircut! Time for something new. Plus my hair is getting super long...

Emily got married safe and sound. Only one lil nervous breakdown, then we were on our way! It went GREAT; I kinda went blank on the speech thing, but no worries, Betsey fed me my lines! :) Haha, it wasn't so bad. Although I must say we had nothing in front of us with which to toast the bride and groom once we had made the toasts. Oh well. So, I'm down one Rumley sister; but I got a new brother! That's fun. He's a keeper.

Recommendation: never ever ever wear the shoes we wore to the wedding. Ouch. Those came off RIGHT after the last picture.

Speaking of which, pictures should be here shortly! I'm excited; I took a million and two, so I really want to see them. I will post a few for your enjoyment.


Hahaha, Betsey, wasn't the MK lady great? I guess our faces were ok after all...

My Sister's Getting Married Tomorrow!

Congratulations, Dan and Emily! (Emily Stauch...wow, gonna have to get used to that one!)

New Digs

I didn't like the new one and I was bored with the same ole, so here's a new look for ya! I like it.

Alright, for all you folks out there that didn't already know, I am a retard. What was I thinking? I pulled an almost all-nighter last night, flipping out about getting homework done on time, and what do I find out the next day? The homework wasn't due. At all. Aaahhh!

Therefore, I am tired and may not be the most pleasant person to be around. Bring coffee if you want to come by to talk. Otherwise stay away.

Silver lining? You can't see my black eye because of the giant bags under my eyes! I totally did that on purpose.

Well

Another weekend of volleyball matches...and I don't have a whole lot to say. Correction, yes I do, but it wouldn't keep this page entirely G-rated.

We went 1-3 this weekend. The match with Wilmington was better; we won in 5 games, and we had the most amazing crowd EVER there to support us. Paint, bare chests, and all. :) That was amazing. They cheered us all the way. They even cheered the Earlham match before, even though we lost miserably. The win against Wilmington felt good. I just wasn't happy with my own performance. Yeah, I know, what else is new???

Soooo...trying to forget about sports that start with "v" now. Lots to get done this weekend. Better get started.

Games This Weekend!

Rose Invitational this weekend...games at 6 and 8 on Friday night and 10 and 12 on Saturday morning. Come on out! I would love to see you there. :)

Thanks, fam!

I can always count on you guys to be supportive; thanks for the encouragement after a rather nasty weekend of volleyball. I love how you all completely missed the 0-4 record and only saw the good. Thanks again! Love you all, see you in a couple of weekends. EXCITED!

GAME DAY

First day of school under my belt; already behind in my homework; and it's GAME DAY!!!! The first official game of the year...we are heading 4 hours out to a tourney, but we'll be rushing back on Saturday to hopefully make it back for the football game that night. Who's excited????

Gotta get rolling (aka packing), so later taters!
