Off,Off & Away

We are off to Maryland tonight. We are driving through the night and will arrive in the DC area tomorrow afternoon sometime. It's finally here...time for Miss April Berry to marry Mr. John Tomassoni. The BIG day is on Friday. Just having our wedding, I know how crazy the week before the wedding is. So, we are going up early to help out and spend time with the bride and groom in all of the pre-wedding festivities. Ray also has family in Annapolis, so we are going to spend a few days with them. It'll be a busy, busy week. We will be home on the 22nd.

Life picks up from here. As soon as we get back I begin my week-long teacher induction program, followed by a week of pre-planning, followed by my FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL...as a teacher anyhow. I think I am going to be more nervous than my students. There's a whirlwind of emotions that are surfacing with the start of my teaching career. I will write more at a later date. Ray also starts is Internship (last semester!!) in a 7th grade Math class.

Well...it's off to church, and then to Maryland. Have a wonderful week. Stay tuned for more wedding pictures coming SOON!
