Elves

Life is great! Trying to get these silly invitations done. It's taking a lot longer than I thought. I've got 84 done thanks to the help of my little elves: Matt, Joanne, Mom and Dad. Now I just got to get these 84 addressed and then work on the other invitations. I'll be glad to get them done so my kitchen table is not decorated with invitation materials.

Invites

Making these invites is a lot more time consuming than I thought it would be. Probably because Matt and I are so picky. Hopefully I get them finished up and mailed out by tomorrow but I will definitely need some help. Any takers?

My Friend Brandy

I have some GREAT friends especially my friend Brandy. She is amazing! I've know her since grade school. And while we don't get to talk  much like we use to and states keep us apart she will always be my friend ...and a great one at that! 

I'm glad and so excited that she is making the effort to come to our wedding in September despite having to travel so far and having had a baby within the last few months. Who could ask for a better friend? Not I because I already have one of the greatest friends ever. Thanks for your support and love! Can't wait to see you!

56 Days!!!!

One test left to take and then my classes will be done for a couple of weeks!!! Woohoo! However, I have lots to do to prepare for this upcoming semester though especially since I will be taking a couple of weeks for the wedding.

The main goal the next couple of weeks finish up wedding stuff and finish my portfolio/application for the next step in my dietetic program.

Lately I've kept busy trying to maintain A's for the semester and work. I know I mastered an A in my one class approximately 104%. Yay for me! However, my other class is just borderline A and B, approximately 90%. This test will determine what I get. But I have not had time to study much for it. My previous test was not as good as the first because I didn't get to study a lot for it either. In fact I took it the same day I studied for it and didn't get to go over two of the chapters.

The good news is although I've been busy I have a schedule at work and I am able to find squeeze in a few fun things here and there. For the fourth of July we got to go watch the fireworks twice. First, we got to watch them at Warsaw, which I actually thought was going to be boring. But it was one of the most fun times I've had watching fireworks. Then Lance took his boat out and we watched them from on the river. Both times were a lot of fun. And it was great getting to hang out with Brittany, Lance and Maci.

Here are some pictures from the second round of watching fireworks.

Maci was not having the life jacket.

Ty and Teddy got their haircuts! They look so nice all cleaned up and smell good too! Teddy also got his teeth cleaned.

I had a hard time getting a picture of Teddy. But you can kind of see how nice his hair looks.

Cereal...Yummy

One of my favorite cereals is Kashi blueberries.

The other day while I was eating my cereal I was thinking to myself about how Froot Loops should have the Lucky Charm marshmallows. Well to my surprise Matt came home with a box of Froot Loops that had marshmallows. 1) He didn't even know I had been thinking that. 2) Who knew that Froot Loops with marshmallows had already been created.

Life

Life has been great! I have been with work, school and wedding planning... as usual. This weekend I have the weekend off. Yay for me! I had to take an exam yesterday. So I spent most of the day studying since I didn't really get the chance to do it before then. It is never to have to cram my studying the same day. But I guess it is better than no studying. After my exam, Matt and I went to Carthage to watch Zack perform with his band and Charissa. So that pretty much sums up what I have been doing.

I love my new job. An actual schedule, great pay, wonderful benefits, nice people it couldn't get any better. Well guess if they wanted to give me a million dollars that would be cool. But anyways hopefully they like me. I work all next week except for Thursday, which works out good because that's when I try my dress on again. The dogs also get groomed that day.

Another plus, my summer classes are almost over. Yay for me! Then I have to put together my portfolio so that I can apply for the next portion of the dietetics program. I also need to fit some orientation modules (part of the new job) in there as well.

Other than that nothing much is going. I did get to see a friend that I had not seen in a long time on Wednesday. It was so nice!... even if it was for only a few quick minutes.

Orientation

Life is good! I started my new job on Monday! It's a lot of fun! The people are nice too. It's a wonderful change from the condos. Hopefully everyone at my new job likes me. And I hope they think I'm doing a good job too. Anyways, I get a lot of perks for working with Great River Health Systems. It is really sweet. Anyways, now that orientation is over it will be easier (not that it was hard)... but I won't have to go from the hospital to the Klein Center.

I had to do my wellness test on Tuesday at 7:20 a.m. So I got up at 4:30 a.m., got ready and headed to Burlington. My levels were good except they said my body fat percentage was under normal levels. They must of done something wrong. LOL. Anyways, since we had to fast they gave us a voucher for the cafeteria. Maybe I was too tired to eat or something because I didn't get a whole lot to eat. In fact, the cashier is like oh honey you can spend four dollars with this voucher. Would you like to go back and get something else? I'm like nah. I probably should of though because by the time noon came around I was a hungry hippo. Knowing that I would be at the Klein Center for the afternoon I stopped at McDonald's on my way over. Not the healthiest choice but it was on the way and I didn't want to waste time. Well that didn't work out so well. It took them forever to get me my meal. The lady was really nice and for the wait she gave me two coupons to go back. Well point of the story is it made be run behind getting to the Klein Center. I'm sure I looked crazy running in with all of my stuff. Plus thanks to no air in my car and 100+ degree heat I must of really looked nuts.

Today I have the day off. So I'm hoping to get a lot of homework done especially since I will be working Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I've got two exams next week that I have to prep for as well. But so far I'm doing pretty good. I have managed to go through almost two lectures and type up an assignment today. I'm hoping to get some time to update my nutrition blog soon as well. Well I best get back to my homework.

Have a good day everyone!
