It is unbelievable how busy life gets!

I hate being a grown up! I am always so busy. I'm working full time and I'm taking classes. Not only that, but I'm trying to fit in spending time with my fiance and my family and it all is stressing me out. I am trying to find a new job right now. Actually, I know what I want to do, but I just need to apply. Lately I have been so tired I haven't even tried to finish this application. Maybe this weekend I will have some time.

I am really enjoying my classes, but it is hard because there are a lot of group projects. First, I don't really like group projects. They don't always represent who I am and the kind of student I am. Second, it is hard to work out schedules when everyone is working and going to school. One person I am working with doesn't even seem like he/she wants to be in the program. Why would you spend all the money on the classes if you are not sure you are going to finish the program?

Work is killing me right now. Some days I have things to do and other days I just sit here twiddling my thumbs. I feel like I should ask for something to do, but I don't want to. I want to sit here and do nothing, but I don't want to get in trouble either. I so trying to get this new job so it will be less stress with school and they will help pay for school.

Because I am so busy, I haven't been getting to the gym as many times as I would like to. I have decided I am now going to buy an elliptical machine so I can work out in the morning before I go to work. I still want to go to Curves and all, but I need more. I really want to start eating healthier and working out more so I can lose weight before my wedding next July. Really I need to lose most of the weight before January so I can buy a dress. Anyway my plan right now is to buy the elliptical machine and get up at 5 with Rod and workout while Rod is getting ready for work and then I can get ready. I think it is a great idea. I think it will give me more energy too. We are going to go look for the machine I want tonight I think.

Tomorrow my brother is graduating from high school. Where did the years go? I can't believe he is 18 and about to graduate. I feel so old. I want to be a kid again sometimes. I want my parents to pay for everything and I want to not have to worry about bills and housing and such. Oh well, I guess you have to grow up some time. At least I live near my parents. I don't get to see them as often as I would like to because of work and school, but I normally get to see them once a week. Sunday, we are having a BBQ for Father's Day and my brother's graduation. It should be fun! Hopefully some of his friends show up :)

So wedding stuff is on my mind when I don't have work to do. I have been working on my guest list and it isn't going how I would like. I thought I would have a problem finding enough people to invite to the wedding, but I have realized that is not the case. I am over the church limit by 25 :( I have an A list and a B list. Unfortunately some people I would like to invite are on the B list. I may think about not inviting some of the family in CA, but I feel obligated to. I'm not sure what to do. I guess I didn't realize how many friends of mine and Rod's would be making the trip out to CA for the wedding. Don't get me wrong, I am really excited that our friends will get to be there, but now I don't have room to invite some of my grandparents' friends that I would really like to invite. I have to go back over the list. A lot of the planning is done so I'm not to concerned about those things. I have already booked the church, booked the time and date of the rehearsal, booked the reception site, and booked the photographer. My mom and my cousin are going to take care of the DJ for me. All I have left is finding a hotel for out-of-town guests and things I can do here! I'm really excited about the wedding and I know the next year is going to go by really fast. That is why I am trying to get so much stuff done while I have the time. I think I am going to order Save the Date magnets this weekend. My idea is I'm not going to put save the date, instead I am going to put our name, our wedding date, and the location of the wedding. Then with the magnets I will send a little slip of paper that includes a hotel for our out of town guests to book rooms at :) Anyway, I better go. I am at work and I should really do something here. Talk to you all soon.
