Moooooooooooving Update!

It has been almost a week since my last entry. Things are getting hectic, bloggers. I am so sorry for my neglect, but with moving in, there hasn’t been much of anything besides moving and unpacking boxes.

The new apartment looks great! I will post pictures as soon as we get the finishing touches completed. It is starting to feel like a home and I am so ready to live here with Phillip. I can’t wait for all of you to see it – whether via pictures on here or actually in person.

My second interview was today too! We’ll see what happens. It’s out of my hands now. I really want this job and that scares me. I’ll keep you posted. Will it be victory or heartbreak? Stay tuned.

Boot camp and grocery shopping tonight. Hopefully it’ll be early to bed after catching up on my millions of tv shows.

Can you believe we are under the one month mark!?

The End of an Era : Admitting Defeat

Alright, bloggers. It has come time to admit that I am defeated and will no longer continue with my 365 new years resolution project. Yes. I know. I’m going back on my word. I realized in the past few days that taking these pictures has really made my blog entries few and far between. Plus, the pictures aren’t really that interesting anyway.

So it’s back to traditional blogging without pictures. Well. I mean, without daily pictures. I am going to try to post pictures as often as interesting things warrant.

Tomorrow is one month until the wedding. How crazy is that! All of you that have followed my blog since day one – and some of you later followers since the day Phillip and I got engaged – are surely looking forward to a change in pace as blogs go. What on earth will I write about!? Perhaps back to the boring here-is-what-we-did-today posts? Hah. We’ll see.

Oh and I have a second job interview!! More details to come later but the interview will take place either Thursday or Friday!

RSVPs: accepts – 131; declines – 38 (MIA – 206; please please please get your RSVPs in… final counts to vendors are due soon!!)

WE GET THE KEYS TO THE APARTMENT ON FRIDAY!!!!

Short Quick Post

[Pictures will come another post.]

I came to College Station today. I left this morning shortly after my lunch and got here in time to relax a little before my interview. I think it went pretty well. I could find out as early as next week, but for sure by June 24. I really want this job because it sounds like a great opportunity – but I wouldn’t be crazy about leaving Phillip for five weeks. So I’m fairly neutral at this point.

Tomorrow I’m off to Austin for a couple of hours before meeting up with my family to go visit Samantha in La Vernia. I am ready for a nice family weekend. Sunday we’ll be traveling back (with Samantha joining us for a week).

Our apartment move-in is one week from tomorrow. It’s crazy how fast the past three weeks have flown by. I blame it on the fact that I spend 40 hours a week working now and go to bed super early every night.

Sorry for the random and fast post. I felt the need to update all of you. Please get those RSVP cards sent ASAP!!!

April Top Five

April was a steady month with nothing too crazy happening. There was a lot of wedding planning and things have really taken off. I think every post during the month referred to some sort of wedding detail. Here are the top five pictures:

Toasting flutes, wedding rings, a gorgeous bow bouquet for the rehearsal, and a great jersey for our ballpark reception guestbook. Here’s to a busy and great May. Last full month until we are finally married!

Bonus Pictures!

What a great weekend! It definitely deserves a bunch of extra pictures. It was filled with lots of shopping (I got paid!) and lots of time with Phillip. Here is a photo snap shot…

We got great things in the mail on Friday. Phillip’s wedding ring came in and we got some wedding gifts from the Gladstones and Jeanie and John in Maine!

Yesterday we went shopping for swim suits for the honeymoon. Phillip found one and I found two – for great prices! Today I added to the honeymoon collection with a swim suit cover-up dress and shorts, and three sundresses. Today I also got a pair of shoes and four shirts for work to add to my pair of clearance pants I got at Banana Republic yesterday. Plus, we got a huge beach bag and some thank-you gifts for family. Great shopping!

Look who is in the newspaper today too! My dad was so wonderful in making this happen. Here’s a picture of the announcement, followed by a link to the newspaper website to read it. Yay!

Also, I’ve decided that I am going to apply to graduate school again. Last time they didn’t accept me, but maybe this time they will? I’m applying for a different program and writing a new statement of purpose. If they don’t accept me this time, I am going to meet with someone in admissions to see how I can get into the school. I am not giving up on getting my masters degree. I really want it – and possibly even my PhD one day. I’ll let you know how it goes when I know something.
