Last Semester

Ah! I can't believe it..but I think I have a better grasp on it than my PARENTS who are absolutely freaking out. Not only is their eldest graduating, but their baby girl is AS WELL and is also getting married. Talk about your breakdown.

We have made a great deal of progress on the wedding front!
  • Visited the Saltlick and have made arrangements to use their Banquet Room for our 'Celebration'
  • Attended the Bridal Extravaganza this past weekend, WITH Ed, whom I am pleased to report made it through the entire thing!
    • We found a florist, who I have an appointment with this Sunday to go over things with
    • A husband and wife photographing team who we really hit it off with
    • A flamboyantly bright-green and hot-pink wearing gay man named 'Matty' to do our cakes. "I really like the gays. We have to have the gays in our wedding somewhere." --Ed
    • A DJ and MC for the night
  • Mom my has also been coming up with all sorts of ambitiously crazy ideas..which will be discussed later, if they ever make it out of her imagination and materialize themselves in some way.
What I need from all of YOU LADIES is your mailing addresses! I need to send out Save the Date thingys and other various items. I also need pictures--my sister has graciously agreed to scrapbook my ENTIRE experience while at UT and needs pictures from all events. SO if you have pictures on your camera, COUGH, and they are not on Facebook or some other media that I can access, please do so ASAP. Thaaanks :)

I miss you guys..luckily I'm staying freakishly busy so I don't have long to dwell on the fact that my last semester will not be filled by joyous Monday nights downtown or late night champagne festivities..and is more likely to be filled with the stress that is graduating, wedding planning, and trying to figure out where in the HELL Ed and I will be living come June. Get this--I graduate May 17, the lease for my apartment ends May 21, and I get married June 6. Crazy fun.

PS for Whitney and Ivy--I'm going to the SPSP (Society for Personality and Social Psychology) Conference February 7-9 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I think Ed might go with me so I don't have to travel alone (I'm a baby) but if either of you are interested in coming, let me know!!
