Holy cow! So yesterday John and I had our new little kitten arrive at our apartment. Molly is her name and she's adorable! Anyone who wants to see pictures, just drop me an e-mail (mcardin@comcast.net) and let me know, and I'll send you the link to them online. She is such a riot, but she doesn't do very well sleeping at night... we're still working on that one. It is very fun having her around though.
Today we went to Kerry's for her graduation party. It was fun, and it was great to see a bunch of friends from UNH that I never get to spend enough time with! I love having that quality time with them to really relax and have fun. I don't think I have a greater social circle than the people I got to hang out with today, and I mean that! So all of you that are reading this that I saw today, remember that I love you all to bits and I miss each of you terribly! (Well, I don't miss John, as I see him every day - and that's NOT a bad thing at all!!!)
Tomorrow I work a full day at SOSMed, then Tuesday I have my LAST COLLEGE SEMINAR EVER!!!!! As of 11:01am on Tuesday, I can put the letters BASW after my name! That is so exciting! Then on Tuesday afternoon, I'm working from 12:00-4:30 at SOSMed. Wednesday I have to put in my last 8 hours at my internship by going to a training. Fortunately, that doesn't require me driving very far, just to the other side of Concord. Since Friday was my last day in the office in Rochester, the coworkers there threw me a little party. It was a lot of fun! They bought a cake and some ice cream and it was great! I almost started to cry when I was getting ready to leave the office. Hopefully the week after our honeymoon I'll be able to go back for a job interview, as there are 2 positions opening up there. We'll see... :-/
And finally, last but certainly not least, the WEDDING IS LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY!!!!!!!!!!! Holy cow, I can't believe it! I am SOOOOO excited and so happy!
I can't believe how everything is coming at once though. But you know, at least it's all good things that have been happening to make this month feel even better!
So, since I probably won't post again until after the honeymoon, I'll catch y'all on the flip side!

The beginning of an end
It really is, isn't it? Between finishing college and ending my life as a single person? In a couple of weeks though, it will be changing to the end of a beginning... Strange how that works...
In two seminars (just under two weeks) I'll be able to put the letters BASW after my name. That's so exciting! I can't wait for that, to finally be done with my bachelors degree. Albeit a couple years later than I had originally intended, but better late than never, right? I'm really excited about being done with school, but I'm still really nervous about finding a job... I really am nervous about where I'm going to work because I can't seem to find an open position in an office that is even remotely close to where I live now!
In just over two weeks, I'll be able to put a new last name before the BASW, which I'm INCREDIBLY excited about! The planning is pretty much done, and that's a relief. I'm mostly just nervous about everything coming together alright. But surprisingly, I'm not at all nervous about marrying John. In fact, I've never been so sure about anything in my life! He has been such a positive influence on my life and I am eternally grateful to God for letting us find each other... Just for everyone's reference, my name will be Melissa Cardin after July 30th, and my e-mail address as of right now is mcardin@alumni.unh.edu
Time to feed Chuck (my guinea pig) and change into my PJ's... night all!

Happy 4th of July!
Okay, so I know my subject is a day early, but I probably won't post tomorrow and I wanted to make sure I wished everyone a happy 4th of July!
I don't really have a whole lot to report today, but I figured I'd check in and let everyone know what I'm up to.
The wedding is only 27 days away! I can't believe how fast it's coming, and I am SO excited! John and I are just about all set, which is good - we've just about wrapped up the honeymoon plans, which was the biggest thing we still had to do. Next Saturday we meet with Sweet Meadows (the florist) and Christine at the Rochester Country Club to finalize all of those details. We need to work on our list of "definitely play" and "definitely do not play" songs for the dj and e-mail that to him, and I go to pick up my dress from the seamstress on the 15th! That's really exciting!!! It's going to look awesome!!!
Hmm, what else? Oh, I told everyone at my internship that I was leaving on the 22nd, and that I'm only in the office 4 more times before I'm done with my internship! That's CRAZY! But exciting, that means I'm almost done and that is THRILLING!!!!! I've worked really hard for this, and I can't wait to be done! Now I just have to finish writing up my process recording, and that means that the last major thing I have to do is a 15 minute presentation on testifying in court - right up my ally, huh? :)
Plans for the 4th? Well, today John and I have church, then we're going over to my parents for a cookout and to see the fireworks in Hancock. Then tomorrow we're coming back and Theresa and Chris are coming over to see our apartment for the first time and go to the fireworks here in Concord. It should be a good time. Theresa's bringing over the favors for the wedding, which is good. I'm excited to see how they came out!
I guess that's really about it for today. I've got to go eat some breakfast and finish writing up my process recording. Believe me, I will NOT miss these when I'm done!
Be safe and have a happy weekend!
