It occurs to me that I only tend to post when there's something dramatic and big happening my life - graduating from college, getting engaged, starting grad school, getting married, and now --- buying a house! Yes, this is the journal of big momentous occasions. But that's ok ( Read more... )

Hmmm... It's been a while since I posted. What better day to update than my birthday! Today I am 27. Not too old, not too young. I'm liking it so far (it's 9:40 am). Matt got me a fantabulous gift - I have a brand new spanking laptop. It's lovely and it wasn't break the bank.

Now that graduate school has officially finished for the semester, I am set to take on my next full time job as my very own wedding planner. The pay sucks, but the benefits are great!! Come September, I will once again job search in earnest at a museum ( Read more... )

Life is good. No really, it's just pretty swell. Yea, there are stressors (three papers due next week....) and ugly things (bills....) and events to plan for (a wedding anyone?....), but life is just a really wonderful thing.
