Big Updates!

Tuesday, we ordered our send-off items and our favors. You guys are going to love them and think they’re so cute. The picture below gives a hint. If you are one to

Monday, we got a wonderful mail package from our ceremony musicians. It’s a wonderful thank-you card, our worksheet for picking songs, and a sample CD from the trio that will be playing at our actual ceremony. I am so excited for them and think they are going to do a wonderful job. The wedding ceremony, to me, is the most important part of the entire day. I am so fortunate and blessed to be able to have such a powerful musical presence that will add so much to the already special worship service.

Yesterday, I got the email I have been waiting for!! A job interview!!! So today’s picture is the information written on a sticky. I will be interviewing for a position as a college advisor for a high school up here. I don’t want to get too ahead of myself, but it would be a very fun job and I think I’d be awesome at it – especially since I’ve had two years experience with mentoring college freshmen. I drive down to College Station on Thursday since they’re actually doing the hiring. I hope I get it!

Easter Weekend

We sure did get a whole lot done this weekend with Heather being here! It was a lot of fun spending time with her, relaxing, and getting things done – all at the same time.

On Saturday, we ran around getting bachelorette invitations printed and such. Don’t worry, I didn’t help a bit. I just tagged along and gave an opinion when asked. I know they are going out this week, so look forward to that! There is also, apparently, a secret card that is going out in all of the invites except mine. I don’t know a single thing about the evening and I am so excited to find out as it unfolds. I won’t have to worry about a thing and I can’t wait to spend my last girls’ night as a single gal with my favorite friends. Here is a sneak peak (hopefully Heather doesn’t get mad) of the invitation.

Yesterday was a nice Easter lunch with beautiful flowers and a simple meal. It wasn’t something my mom would have had to slave in the kitchen for. It was perfect. Home cooked favorites but no fuss. Heather left afterwards.

And look what the east bunny brought me at the Longs’! It’s a beach mat for the cruise. Isn’t it cute!? We also got some money to go towards each of us buying a swim suit for the honeymoon. I cannot get over how excited I am getting for all of these upcoming events. Things are moving so much faster and I am now in soaking-up-every-second mode.

Bow-quet

Heather came in town last night! :)

She brought with her my wonderful rehearsal bouquet. It’s made out of all of the ribbons and bows from the gifts at my bridal shower. Isn’t it beautiful!? This is so I can practice holding a bouquet for the rehearsal too.

Week in Review

Not to be confused with the terrible weekly math tutorial program at Texas A&M.

This week has been pretty boring. Therefore, I’ll just give you the pictures and short descriptions.

Tuesday, we prepared for RSVP cards to return. After this past weekend, the price of postage went up. Therefore, we needed to place a bowl of pennies in the mail box for postage due. One cent for every RSVP card we expect.

RSVPs have started to roll into our mailbox as of Wednesday. Here is my basic sorting system. Total guests coming to date is 22. Come on, invitees, get me your RSVPs!!!

Yesterday I got some graduation announcements in the mail too! Lauren and Grace!! They are beautiful and I am so excited for them! While I’m moving into the new apartment that day, I’ll be humming pomp and circumstance in their honor.

Heather comes in town tonight! I can’t wait!

I’m So Legit

They even gave me a security badge. Nifty, huh? My first day went pretty well. I’ll save you the boring details but it was nice. The people are friendly and I think I will be very good at it. Basically, I’m preparing files to be scanned into a computer and turned into digital files. So I have to comb through these massive files, paper by paper, to find the necessary documents to include in the to-be-scanned group. Each file takes about 3 hours to complete.

Tomorrow is another day!
