We've finalized the menu, we've (ordered, addressed, and) sent out the invitations, we've finalized the cake order, we've picked out the flowers, we've gotten my dress fitted, we've picked out a veil, we've ordered the tuxes, we've planned the honeymoon, we've registered at a couple of stores, we've planned most of the ceremony, we've picked out ( Read more... )

I didn't get the job I applied for. Doug didn't get the job he applied for.

This whole searching for a job thing is getting really depressing. And it's made us pessimistic people, which I hate.

We're pulling through and moving on. Applied for new jobs today- both of us applied in Lincoln. We were so against staying here. All we've wanted for years ( Read more... )

It's been forever since I've written. I realize that. So, this really is the easiest way to do this...

Things I've Accomplished Since the Last Post:

1. I got a job for the semester. Two, actually. I can't remember if I wrote after I got my first subbing job or not. But, I am officially a substitute teacher for the school district in Lincoln. And then ( Read more... )

There's just been too much. Too much has happened since I last wrote. In fact, I can't even remember WHEN I last wrote, exactly. I assume it was some time shortly after I finished student teaching, but I'm not quite sure. There's too much to say, and the only way I can think to say it all it to write a list, of sorts. Of course, it will be one of ( Read more... )

So, I promised quite a long time ago that I would write about my top 100 most played songs on ITunes. All throughout the semester I said to myself, "Yeah, I should really do that." I kept trying to remind myself, but yet I never seemed to have enough time.

Well, student teaching is over. Suddenly, I have time! Yay! So, without further ado and as ( Read more... )

It's interesting, this semester being over. It's been sixteen weeks since I've felt this freedom, and now that's it here I'm not quite sure I know what to do with it. It's been so long, so vast. I've been thinking about the same thing for sixteen weeks... and now that it's all over, I don't know what to think about anymore.

I realize that sounds ( Read more... )

News update on Amy's life: There really isn't any. Unless you consider the fact that I've become a total social recluse news, then there you go.

Student teaching is just as exhausting as it has been, even though I didn't really do a whole lot last week because it was transition week- switching from the high school to the middle school.

I've decided ( Read more... )

I cannot believe how long it has been since I've written. It's almost embarrassing. I've been such a bad journal writer.

The semester of student teaching has been long, stressful, crazy, and sometimes even impossible. That's probably why I haven't written. Things were just too... insane. For example, let me outline a normal day for me on any given ( Read more... )

Blah. I hate  the restlessness of summer. It's making me be a lot more difficult than I really want to be. Unfortunately, the ones who suffer most are those that I care about most- my family and Doug, mainly.

Things in the past week or so since I updated remain steady.

Work is work. I'm getting along pretty well with everyone- as well as can be ( Read more... )

My new goal is to update more frequently so that I can actually start writing about what is going on in my life. When I write entries on a monthly basis, they are more of a "hey, everything is going well, yada yada, I hope to write more soon" kind of thing. I never get to write about what is actually going on in my life ( Read more... )
