As I promised last time...Lori's getting married! Ha! I bet you thought it was me, well you're wrong. I will try to make this quick as I am on break from work and have to go back on desk in 10 min. Lori and Tom got engaged a couple of weeks ago and are getting married in Aug/Sept in Ankeny. Everyone is excited, including Jemma. I went dress shopping with Jemma and Lori in Ankeny. Jemma is getting to be quite the photographer. Does it amaze anyone else that a 3 year old knows how to work a digital camera most 50 year-olds don't get?
Ryan and I dropped by Ankeny on our way to the Freeman Spring Concert just a few weeks ago in Ames! It was another great year at the concert. About 2,000 people showed up for Amber Pacific, the headliner from Seattle. No one who they were but we all enjoyed the show. It was a long night but well worth the effort. I did miss several people who weren't at the concert this year because they have more of a life than Ryan and I. Next year I think we might hang back...unless they finally get Jason Mraz. Then you know I want to be his band host!
I wish I had a picture to post. Sadly, Enrique my latin laptop has be experiencing viruses lately. Ryan is supposed to be at home right now, diligently saving Enrique's life, but we all know that he isn't. Hopefully these matters will be cleared up soon and I can get the pics of Lori's wedding dress of there before she kills me! I will share a sneak peak when I can! Until then, it is time to head back to my noble duty of staffing the youth desk while a small chinese girl talks to me in a language I can't understand. Sounds confusing and it is!

Naked Sushi!
Yes I have actually eaten sushi off a naked woman! Doesn't that make me cool? 
Actually I took this pictures at First Friday in April but it has taken me a while to get it up. First Friday is when all the art galleries in KC open their doors and give you free food and wine in the hopes that you will buy their overpriced art! We didn't buy any art but we did gladly eat their food and drink their wine while looking at art an acting pretentious!
After that I went to KLA (Kansas Library Association) conference in Wichita. There wasn't a lot to do there because our library is sooo far ahead of the curve of most Kansas libraries. But I got some good networking in.
This last weekend Ryan and I visited Ames again for the Freeman Spring concert, with Amber Pacific as the headline band. It was a good visit but a little depressing. Everyone we know is getting ready to leave Ames and by this time next year we won't really have anyone to visit. Which is guess is the way it is supposed to work in a college town right?
I stopped by my old house on my way to the concert and it was horrible! The people who live there have changed a lot and I don't feel like they are taking care of it very well. This is why you aren't supposed to go back! Never again will I look at but I will treasure my memories there of my first home!
Well thats about it for now! I will attempt to foreshadow my next post with.."Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue..."

My Attempt at Emo
Whew! My first blog entry ever! The pressure is on to make it a good one. For one reason or another I have always avoided starting a blog, mostly because I know that I am not the type of person who could consistently update it, but its time to give it a try. However, to avoid embarrassment I will not share this with anyone until I have proved to myself that I can update it reasonably often.
I am afraid for my well-being as I fall into a world that I once considered reserved for emos and people without friends. My friend Dan showed me the light with his insightful and witty blog Chewing the Fat. Now I am determined to create a successful blog for friends and family to keep up to date on what is going on in my world, as well as give me an opportunity to gush and rant.
However, I would like to ask for an intervention should I begin to use this blog as a way to gossip or complain. Also, please intervene if I start to wear dark eyeliner and push my hair in front of my eyes. Its not a good time to be an emo...
