I can't believe classes start up again tomorrow... oh well - it's the last spring semester for me! The countdown is... 7 weeks to spring break, 17 school weeks until commencement, and 27 school weeks total until I'm done with my bachelors!!!!!!!! I'm sure everyone I know that's graduated already knows exactly how I feel right now - anxious, excited, and stuck with the biggest case of senioritis E-V-E-R!!!!
It's strange to think, too, that I will be getting married in 28 weeks! It really doesn't seem all that long when I look at it that way... but it's true - 194 days!!! I'm soooooo excited! I cannot wait to be married!!! I went dress shopping this weekend and got my dress. It had to be ordered and it will be arriving in about 6 weeks. 2 of my bridesmaids and my maid of honor and my mom were all there, so we were able to pick out the bridesmaid dresses too! That was nice. Then today, John and I went shopping and got our toasting flutes and cake knife and stuff. I got my garter yesterday too. It's been pretty stressful, but now we've got the church, the reception site, the dress, and the bridesmaid dresses. We're working on a DJ and a photographer now, and we've got to get our engagement in the papers, but after that, it's all just details, so that's good.
I should probably finish unpacking from the weekend too, I've got stuff all over my bed. I was hoping to get in some yoga tonight, but I don't think I'm going to, so maybe in the morning.

Stuff
Things have been going pretty well lately! I've been working a lot, which has been good. I started trainings for DCYF last Wednesday. I have another one coming up this Wednesday. I'm not overly excited, but I have to do 8 of them while I'm an intern, so I'm glad to get a jump on them.
This weekend was pretty good. Saturday was nice and relaxing, John and I spend a good chunk of the day just kicking around the apartment in our pajamas, and making pancakes for breakfast. We spent the rest of the afternoon at his house, and then at 4, we went to mass, because we knew we wouldn't make it to mass on Sunday.
After that, we had dinner at his house, then came back here and did various things, and watched Back To The Future on tv.
Sunday we had to get up early, because my parents, my sister and my cousin Bonnie were all coming at 9 am to go meet with a reception site at 10. We went and looked at Cottage By The Bay, and I think that's going to work out, if we can get to have a little bit of flexibility with the menu for the buffet. We're waiting to hear back from our contact person for there. I really like that facility, so I REALLY hope it works out. At 11, we headed over to Durham to go to the bridal show at the New England Center. That went well - we had some definite ideas come from there. We talked to a DJ and stuff, and they seemed pretty good. After that, we went out to lunch at La Festa in Dover. Then we took everyone to see the church John and I are getting married in. They thought it was really nice, so we were happy to hear that. Tonight, we're meeting with Father Cole to get started on paperwork and everything. Anyway, after seeing St. Josephs, we went to Great Bay Gallery & Catering to meet with them about a reception. They were pretty good, and it was good to know that I wouldn't mind using them if the other place falls through, but I didn't really like them as much. They're catering menu looked pretty good, so Mom wants us to see about trying to get something similar at the Cottage.
We've also changed the day from August 20th to July 30th, so as of today, it's 201 days!!!
Anyway, I've got to get ready for work. Ugh. Can it be Friday again yet?
