Swamped with Schoolwork
















Boy! It has been such a long time since I last updated this thing. I do have a GREAT excuse for it: I've been hella busy. I got a new position at work where I have been developing curriculum for a new 7th and 8th grade afterschool intervention program. It has been a lot of work, but inevitably I am working towards a life in administration so I really need to start giving my self extra responsibilities. I am very proud of the amount of work I have done however! I've have been working late every night and it was pretty nice getting home before it got dark today.

The new house is as wonderful as ever. I'm hating our cable company and looking into getting DISH network, but it happens. I've been too busy to keep the house clean. I'm a little obsessive about everything being put in its place, and let's just say that is not happening. Wedding plans are progressing. I don't have anything new to tell you since we're still paying off the reception hall and the wedding venue before we take another step. I'm going to start looking for dresses in January and I think once I find "the dress", our plans will speed up tremendously! Josh did tag along to go check out a couple of florists....so I'm glad he got involved in that aspect. My coworker Frankie is also going to be making my cake. She has an extraordinary talent at making decorative cakes and when I showed her a design of what I wanted she was really excited to work on it. It will be pretty simply but it will have a drape of fondante that goes from the top of the cake to the bottom diagonally. On top of the drape there will be yellow flowers. I promise the design of the cake is much prettier than I'm describing. I had a lot of fun sketching out the cake. We'll see how it ends up in June! Well that is all for now. I'll try to update within November but I guess we'll see with how school goes. I made sure to include picture of my sister Natalie, my mom, and Lun at the Obama rally that I went to on my Fall Break!
