My first Blog

I don't really know why I started a blog today, I just felt like it was the right thing to do. It is two days after Christmas. My whole family is off this week and I'm stuck working. It SUCKS!!! I wish I could be a kid again. I hate having to work all the time. I hate being a grown up. At least I can blog now!

On the other hand I had a great Christmas. I got to spend the morning with my family and my fiancé, and the afternoon with his brother, his brother's fiancé, and his aunt. We had a lot of fun. Now we have all this stuff and we have no idea where to put the stuff.

I have done a little wedding planning, but not a whole lot. I know we are getting married in California. I also know it is going to be in July of 2007, hopefully the 21st. I got all this cake decorating stuff for Christmas including the 2006 Wilson Cake Decorating book. I fell in love with one of the wedding cakes. I need to figure out how to make the flowers. The cake is very simple so I don't think my mom would have a problem making it. It is just going to be the flowers that are going to be a problem. I suppose if we can't figure out how to make them, but we can always put fresh flowers on the cake. I am planning on trying to reserve the chapel at the beginning of the year. My dad wanted me to wait until the beginning of 2006 so he could deducted it from next year's taxes. I am also planning on taking a 9 day trip out to Cali to visit my family and finalize some other details of the wedding. I know the wedding is not for a year and a half, but you have to act early in California. In October, they already had started booking the chapel for 2007. I want to make sure I get a date I want! Hopefully next week every date I want will not be book.

This week I really need to work on my grad school application. My application is due by February 1st, but I would like to have it in by the middle of January. Also it looks like I am having problems with my recommendations. I sent two of my professors packages with information for them to write me a recommendation and it seems like neither one of them has received what I sent. That scares me! I wanted their letters to be done by the middle of January. I don't think I have any other back ups for recommendations. I just hope these two people come through. I really want to go to grad school in the summer. I really really want to be a guidance counselor. I think I would be decent. Plus, when I start having kids I want to be able to spend more time with them. Hopefully everything will work out. I guess worst comes to worst, I could always fax over the information. I hope it doesn't come to that because you are supposed to provide a self addressed stamped envelop. Lets just hope the post office messed up because it was Christmas time.

Well, I better get going. It's late and I have to be up in the morning for work. I'll try to post from work tomorrow when I get bored.
