I should update
Here's what has been going on:- We found a wedding photographer. Finally. We love their pictures and the two ladies that do the photography (they can Photoshop their butts off, too, so we can get some cool effects in our pictures) so it should make for a fun and comfortable atmosphere. Plus, we get our negatives so we don't have to print the pictures through them. They also do custom invitations at a fraction of the price of other custom invitation places.
- My new job is great. I'm a photographer's assistant for a publications and graphics department here on campus. We also do freelance work. It's laid back and really fun. I'm working on a Mac computer though. I'm not a fan of Macs. But my monitors make my fiance jealous. I have two monitors--23" and 30". He almost drooled over them the first time he saw them. Another plus is that I have keys to the building. I can work whatever hours I want, as long as I don't go over 20. And I can use the dark room whenever I want so that I can continue developing pictures even though my dark room is still in Minnesota.
- We found an amazing apartment where they pay everything, so there are no surprise gas or electric bills. I'm going to move in and then once we're married Jeremy will move in. This means that after living in my apartment for a total of 3 weeks I'm already putting the contract up for sale. Not that I mind. Most of my roommates are pretty cool, but one gets really anal about Jeremy coming to pick me up for school and work every morning at 7:45 a.m. The apartment rules apparently are that men can't be in our apartment before 9 a.m. (I hear you mentally saying, "What the hell?"), so the fact that he's even knocking on our door before 9 a.m. pisses her off. Nevermind that he knocks and we leave. He shouldn't even be knocking at that time in her opinion.
- The post on Achenblog today and all the talk about dads reminded me that I should see what mine was up to. My dad is in jail. Again. I occasionally google his name along with "utah jail." I haven't done that for about a year so I thought I'd check it out today. It has never failed to let me know that yes, he is in jail yet again. He's such a winner.
- Wedding dress shopping is not always fun. I haven't yet tried on that dress I posted a picture of. I'm waiting until my mom flies into town to go with me. Right now I'm just narrowing the bridal shops down. One lady at a bridal shop basically treated me as though I was worthless because I have a short torso and will need the shoulders tucked. Her solution was to buy the dress 1 or 2 sizes too big so that only the sides have to be taken in, but then the waist line is down below my hips so the shoulders would still have to be tucked--I'm still trying to figure out her logic. All the other bridal shops had consultants that looked at me and said something like, "Well, you're petite all over" or something along those lines. I prefer those shops rather than the ones that want me to end up paying more for a huge dress that would need more alterations.
- We have our wedding cake and our groom cake nailed down. And we went to a bridal show where I won 8 free centerpieces from the company that I was planning on hiring to decorate for our reception. Talk about lucky. We'd only been there for about 10 minutes when they announced over the speaker system that I'd won.
- My schedule has gone through numerous changes. I've only kept one of my original classes--Northern Mesoamerican Art. The other five changed, most more than once. I'm taking Islamic Art and Architecture. I thought it would be boring but it's my favorite class. Islamic culture is very interesting.
- I have NO get up and go today. Ugh. Jeremy was asking this morning if I was okay. I'm fine, I just have no drive today. At all.
That's about it. My lack of drive is showing in this post. I don't really feel like having any sort of closing remarks, either. So I'm just gonna post this now.
