Why So Serious?

Tonight is the last night Phillip and I have together for nearly three weeks. I am really getting sad about this. Normally I am not an emotional person, but when it comes to Phillip, I’m the sappiest of all. I can’t help it. I mean, even writing this right now makes me almost break down.

So tonight’s it before the harsh reality of how terrible this summer is going to be sinks in. The last night with him before he leaves tomorrow. And what is he doing right now as I write this entry? Sleeping soundly. That’s right, he decided he was tired early and needed to get some shut eye. I suppose it’s fair.

Then why am I so upset? I guess I’m the more emotional one out of the two of us, but still. Would it hurt to shed a tiny tear? I’m really going to miss him and I know he’ll miss me too. But it’s hard to keep reminding myself when I’m a wash rag of emotions and he’s sleeping away.

Tomorrow I’m getting up early to go to class and won’t even really get to say goodbye. Tonight was it.

Goodbye Phillip. See you in three weeks. :(

Wanted: Married Couples

Yes, as the title implies, I am in search for married (or almost married) friends to hang out with. I realized today that Phillip and I are about to enter into a new world in which we need people to hang out with that have that huge step in life in common with us. The only couple we know (and truly love) are moving within a month. So the search is on!

We still have great friends that we love and love to hang out with, but it would be nice to have a large thing in common with someone. So please, inquire within about the job. We love double dates, good advice, and watching TV. Thanks!

My New Job

I started my new job this week. I am a student worker at Texas A&M’s Student Health Center in the Health Education department. Sounds pretty spiffy, doesn’t it? My department creates and distributes health information in various printed formats, provides anonymous HIV and STI testing, and give presentations to organizations, dorms, and classes on campus. I help with all of that and also perform basic office duties like answering the phones and making copies.

So this week, so far I have printed and folded tons of brochures to refill the brochure racks throughout the building. I am also now well-versed in the Health Center’s policies. I got to compile a list of potential donors for door prizes for a healthy campaign we’re starting up soon. I spent today getting rid of our outdated brochures, updated the computer brochure files, and organized the master brochure binder. Can you tell we do a lot of work with brochures? We probably have fifty different brochures and all of them have to be in-stock in the closet and all five brochure racks throughout the facility. Tomorrow I get to help another student worker distribute our health newsletter across campus in dorms and popular common areas.

Oh, yesterday I also got to sit in on a presentation my boss gave. She is pretty awesome at it and I hope one day, if I end up being a health educator, I’m that good.

I pretty much love my job so far and could really see myself doing this one day. So there’s the update. :)

Another Great Engagement Party

I feel so loved. Last night was great and I loved the turnout. It’s always nice to see how many people love you and how many are willing to take a night out just for you. It was a great success and it concludes the engagement parties. That’s right, I’m done with them. It’s bittersweet. Now I feel like we’re officially in wedding mode and moving forward.

Nonetheless, last night was a blast and I thank all of you that could come out. I can’t wait to see all of you at the wedding!! :D

Engagement Fiesta Tonight!!

I am so excited to have a great group of friends together for engagement party #2. I love them so much and can’t wait to spend time with them. It’s going to be awesome! Pictures coming tomorrow. I must start getting ready now so I don’t have to rush through a shower and/or getting ready. Ole!
