Where's That Cap and Gown?

Ok friends, it's officially official. I'm back in school and my first class starts April 1. There was a bit of a mixup with the school (They thought I wanted a degree in marketing!) so it took a while to get things rolling. But they are rolling now and I'm all set.

My second Master's will be in Education Administration and it will be complete in October of 2009. It's a fancy new degree plan at Lamar University that allows me to take one class in 5 weeks then I get a week off before beginning the next 5-week class. It's gonna be rough but I'm looking forward to it. I put it off waaayy to long.

Since things will get crazy soon, I apologize now for letting your calls go to voicemail, forgetting to reply to your e-mail, putting late comments on your blog, forgetting your birthday, leaving you stranded at the airport and basically not seeing you for about 18 months.

But I love you and I'll see you soon! I'll be the one in the cap and gown.

My Big Redneck Wedding

M called me two nights ago and said something I never though I'd hear him say, "Turn on your TV and put it on CMT." His peculiar request piqued my interest because we are not exactly country folk.

I switched over to the Country Music Television network and found a show called, "My Big Redneck Wedding." It's hosted by Tom Arnold and CMT was having a marathon of weddings! I was particulary moved by the wedding of Gail and John in Westover, Maryland.

Please, please try to catch the flea market wedding of Gail and John. Here are just 3 reasons why:

1. The groom didn't get on one knee to propose. Instead, he peed "Will you marry me?" onto a street for her to read.

2. As a wedding gift, Gail gave John a pink bowling ball that says, "Think of me when you touch your ball."

3. John wrote his own vows and here's a hilarious clip:
