Hello all!
It has been quite a while since I wrote anything. As you may have read on Erin's blog, the wedding date has been pushed up to June 18th. It's in a month and 9 days, so we're excited about that. The wedding planning has been kind of hectic with that kind of schedule, but so far I think things are going okay. I finished paying for my dress, and had it pinned for alterations. I will get my (hopefully) final fitting on May 17th. Yesterday Erin, Chad and I decided what we're going to do for centerpieces. They're kind of different, but we think they're pretty.
Uhm... what else? Invitations have been designed and paper is being shipped to Orem from Salt Lake so that we can print them. We're waiting on a quote from Bryce's company and then those will get printed and sent out!
In other news, I worked Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last week and Monday of this week with the temp agency. I haven't gotten any calls from them since, so that's kind of crappy. I had an interview with the Boondocks Family Fun Center on Wednesday. I have a pretty good deal there if I want it. Right now I'm waiting to hear back from the BYU Grounds people - I HATE waiting for people to get back to you. You know that as soon as you commit to something the other place is going to call and tell you they have a position available. But from the looks of things, I'm going to be working at the Boondocks this summer. The only drawback is the commute, which is about 1/2 an hour, as opposed to the .5 minute commute I would have if I worked for BYU. I wish any one of the 5 billion places I applied would call me back. Let me tell you how much I hate online applications for that reason. You never get to talk to anyone - they never have to talk to you. So you have no idea what to expect, or if they're even still seriously looking or the post is just old. Gr.
I recently tested at 91 WPM typing speed with 100% accuracy. I was proud of that. Other than that, I am finding that clarinet is not really finding me any work for the summer. Maybe I'm just "looking for [work] in all the wrong places. "
Chad and I are doing well - he's working at Cold Stone, though we'll see how long that lasts. Today is the first day of the five days of Chad's birthday! (For my birthday, mom sent me a KitchenAid mixer!!!! I thought I had written about this on my blog but apparently the last post was that I was engaged... hm... Anyways - Chad, knowing he couldn't compete with that, came up with 5 days to celebrate my birthday, instead of just 1. Each day was accompanied by a small gift of some sort, and then we dressed up and he took me out to dinner on my birthday. So - it's only appropriate that he gets the same treatment.) I can't tell you what my five days have planned or it'd ruin the surprise. Chad is going to be 28 on Tuesday! Yes, I know what you're thinking. That's 8 years older than me. Yes it is. And that is all I have to say about that.
The other day Kari & Eric (Chad's sister and brother-in-law) and Chad & I were at WalMart. I went in to use the bathroom and the toilet flushed randomly (automatically) while I was in there. I told Chad when I came out - I feel a blog entry coming on. But, I think Ellen tells it far better than I ever could.
I suppose I should be doing something productive. It's kind of lame to be sitting at home all day while other people go out and do responsible things. On with the day.
