Finally!

I'm finally updating my blog! I'm at work so Amanda showed me a way to update from my email account last night so I'm not sure how the formating will be but oh well. I haven't been blogging because I've been crazy crazy busy working, and working out, and getting everything set up for school, and getting everthing together for the wedding. If you read Amanda's blog I'm sure you know her wedding shower was a success, but what you didn't know was how much work it was! Getting tons of flowers and potted plants, and repotting plants for favors, and getting games together and making only about a million trips to Michael's, Aldi, Target, ect for food and crafty supplies. Oh and let's not leave out the 3 hrs it took to make those adorable cupcakes (pictures later) and about 5 trips to Bed Bath and Beyond to buy gifts, and to do gift shopping for Amanda at the request of several female relatives who are either too old to understand what a registry is, were out of state, or just wanted the convience of having a personal shopper who could pick something out for A. So after all that work I was glad that the shower was such a success! We had about 20 guests show up, plenty of food, and tons of fun! Alright now on to planning the bach. party. I know I should have done this long ago with invitations addressed, stamped, and in the mail weeks ago so invited out of towners could arrange travel plans to come earlier (if possible) and attend. BUT I was busy OK!? And Amanda, or I had already told all but 1 person to be invited of when it was sooo they're already planning, or not planning to come they just need a formal invitation. Which I have yet to make! I'm debating about whether or not I should design some and print them out on cardstock myself, or buy some from Target and write in the info instead. I'd love to make some, but do I really have the time? I sound like such a complainer for my busy life. Not so. I love being busy, absolutely love it! I never waste time and I'm always getting stuff done. The only probelm is, I'm always busy haha. How is it that this is MY blog and I've spent so much of it talking about a wedding that isn't mine? The truth is Amanda has been sort of consuming my life (ok not consuming but I do way more for her now then I did in school). Dress fittings, picking out interview clothes, ect. So how about you get an update on ME?
I'm now 21! Kyle did good on my birthday. He bought me a brand new Samsung Camera! Not sure how to post links via my email but I'll do a picture post sometime this weekend... maybe. He also took me to the Dallas World Aquarium which was awesome :) Hmm anything else exciting? We went to a minor leage baseball game, the Grand Praire Airhogs, last weekend. It was so much fun. We went with our longtime friend's family and were in a sweet which was nice because we were in airconditiong. I started work at CCH (Center for Community Health) and it's back to routine as usual. We're putting on a huge conference on Improving Health through Community-Academic Research which will be really interesting but it's the day before the wedding so I can't take off. Boo. I'll be able to leave by 2pm though. Alright, back to work, my boss just came in and needs me to research and write 4 informative papers for this conference!
