Well, it has been a while since my last entry and I apologize. I have been pretty busy...well, I guess I did have time to update but I just havent. My birthday was on April 17 and it sucked. Steven didnt do anything for it...not a card, not anything. Lets just say I cried basically all day but he is still trying to make up for it. I had a bridal shower the day before. It went really well and I got a lot of stuff. I think Steven's grandma is having another one for me in June sometime. I am still trying to lose some more weight...21 pounds and counting! I want to lose 10 more before the wedding but I dont know if that will happen. This week is dead week and I have a crap load of stuff to do. I have three take-home tests due next week and one actual exam on Tuesday night. I also have a speech to give tomorrow that I havent even started on. :) Oops, I guess I better get to that. The great news is that I got a job!! YAYYYY!!! I will be working at Metlife in West Des Moines. My position is called a Post-Issue Representative and here is the description:

Sorry thats kinda long. It sounds like a decent job and I am so glad that I got it. The plus is that Metlife has excellent benefits!! :) I will be poor for a little while because of student loans to pay back but there is room for advancement in the company. Seriously, it takes a huge load off my shoulders! And, I graduate in a week! It has been a long time coming! I am also gonna have a garage sale on May 13-14 so if you need any junk come and see me! It will be in Adel though. Oh, and people dont forget that our wedding is June 25! Get us some kick ass presents!! :) Have a good week everyone and try not to stress out too much!
