Interview!

I have an interview with Grand Rapids Public Schools tomorrow at 8am! I am not sure how it will go because I will be telling them about the wedding right away. The human resources lady thought the wedding would be no problem at all, but we will see. Please pray that Dan and I would have wisdom about this opportunity, as we are not sure it is a good one.

Cristy's Wedding

Cristy and Daniel's wedding was this past weekend. Here's a picture of us at the rehearsal dinner. The dinner was amazing! It was like a whole reception before the wedding. Daniel's mom put on quite the spread.

Here are Cristy and I while we are waiting for the ceremony to start. Isn't she beautiful?!?


Here's a picture of the new Cristina Griggs with the rest of the Giddings Girls!

 

Danny did it!!!

Great news everyone! Dan is an assisstant manager! He received the call this evening, and he will be moving to the Holland branch, hopefully, August 1. He does have to pass a drug test first though! (there should be no problems there! hehe) We have not decided if we will be staying in GR or moving to Holland at the moment. Dan has suggested we stay in GR so I can be close to my friends. (yes!) We will see how he likes the commute out there though...

Big News!

I have finally joined the technology age...I HAVE A CELL PHONE!!! Danny surprised me last night with it! So if you would like to reach me anytime of the day or night, I will give you my number. If you would not like to reach me anytime of the day or night, I will not give you my number.

We have an officiant!

It took us a while, but we officially have an officiant! (That's the pastor who performs the ceremony) Pastor Steve, Dan's old youth pastor, is going to perform the ceremony.

Dan and I are anxiously awaiting news about interviews for his next promotion. We are praying that he will be able to start his new position August 1, at the latest. I am working on getting my sub application in and jumping through the final hoops to get my teachers certificate. Now the State of Michigan wants my money in order to certify me officially...wonderful!

sorry!

I guess I need to update everyone on my life. Sorry it took so long!

I've been babysitting at the Kendall's since Sunday night. The folks are out of town so I'm here with the kiddies. It's been a fun and eventful week. It began nice with trips to the store and pool. All kids were behaving BEAUTIFULLY...we were really having a good time. Then came the power outage. We were without power for 27 hours! That tested our patience. We tried to stay busy, but there are only so many games to play and only so many stores to go to. We finally went to a movie last night and came back to the power turned on! yay!

Dan and I are going to the tuxedo place to pick out the wedding attire. I am excited to be able to check one more thing off the list.

I have two meetings this weekend with cake people. I met with the florist and picked out our flowers. I'm not sure about one flower though. I will have to bring mom or lacey to look at it and see what you think. I hate these shopping excursions all alone; I need second and third and maybe fourth opinions! Oh, speaking of shopping alone...I bought my rehearsal dinner dress! I was alone though when I bought it so I need to show people and get opinions. I bought shoes too! sooo cute!

I can't post with pictures because I just got the camera back from the shop.

new blog!

Hello everyone! My blog is now the homepage of our wedding website! I will post the happenings of Dan and Emily as well as wedding updates. I intend to post construction updates and such when it gets closer to the wedding.

The invitations are done! Lacey, Erin, Betsey, and I had a blast today making them! Once all the breaks are taken out, I think the process only took us 2-3 hours! We are VERY proud of them. Make sure to ooh and aah over them for us!

Our blog has moved!

This blog has moved to TheStauchs.com.

one more thing...

i told northpointe today that i would love to work there, but with the situation with dan's job I cannot commit to a teaching position for another few weeks. they understood completely and said they would continue to look for other people. the superintedent was so impressed with my resume, interview, East experience, etc. that he said i can use him as a reference if i would ever need to! isn't that amazing! he totally did not need to do that!

my sisters are coming!

yay! i get to see my oldest sisters this weekend! they are coming up on friday, going to dan's softball game (erin may be playing we don't know for sure yet), spending the night at my house, and then spending the day with lacey putting together our (dan and my) wedding invitations! how exciting! i'm so glad they are coming!

i am getting caught up on tons of things at work today. i am just babysitting the airconditioner guys while they install a new air conditioner. what a boring three days! but hey, if they want to pay me to do this then that is fine with me!
