life update
Spring time has arrived, but not here. It snowed yesterday, thankfully only 1-2 inches but still, SNOW!! we still have 2 and a half feet of snow in our backyard, i am just hoping its gone by august!! hehehe, i know it will be but still!! spring needs to arrive here...
spring break is going. i have my thesis proposal due tomorrow, a deadline that i chose, but its good. the sooner i get that done, the sooner i can start the processed and get done with grad school. I am shooting for april of next year, and think I can make it.
mitch's boss is moving up on the wal-mart ladder and trying to drag mitch with him. he told mitch that mitch will be the next department manager, for the lawn and garden department. he's alright with this, it's a little more money. i think this kick-started the thinking of other jobs. he decided that if he really wants to wildlife biology and stuff like that, he is going to have to go back to school. so now we are lookign at grad programs in natural resources that are non-thesis. he doesn't want to write a huge paper and do research, so that fits for him.
wedding planning has been put on hold while the semester is in session. mitch is one of those cool guys who likes to plan stuff so we did a lot of the planning in January. And since i don't have any family up here, we went dress shopping together.. it was a lot of fun. I picked a dress, but I am getting it altered. Its a floor lenght dress with a train, not me!! i am having it shortened to a tea-lenght dress. thats just so much more of my style. i choose bridesmaids dresses, dark green with a dark purple trim. Celine is doing a great job as my maid of honor. Karen was goign to be my maid of honor but she got into a car accident and spend her savings on the car, not the trip. I would have done the same thing, she is planning on coming out next summer which is going to be much better. My sister is doign my invintations, which is so sweet. A cost that we don't have to worry about. It looks like it is going ot be a small wedding, which will be nice. We are inviting out imediate families and some friends that we have been close to as a couple. Since most of the families won't be invited, we are goign to have a reception in new mexico and in minnesota, for them. That will be a nice time. We rented the ski lodge for the ceremony and the reception!! And, we are having kareoke at our reception!! HAHAHAHA!!! Megan, my future-sister-in-law is a big kareoke fan, as am I so there will be a lot of fun there!! Mitch said the sweetest thing a couple of days ago, he looked over at me when we were watching tv and said "you know megan, we basically are married.. we live together, we share finances, its pretty cool."
This summer I am working at a summer camp! And I am doing my thesis based on that, a evaluation of the effectiveness of a summer camp. It is going to be a fun time.
I guess that is all from Alaska.
