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!!

what a humdinger

I both hate and love to say that there is nothing exciting to report on the April-front.

I've been in Tomball since the 22nd and have spent most of the time sleeping, shopping, reading, hanging out with the fam and with my high school "family."

The family consists of myself, Carra, Deeksha (a bridesmaid, senior at Emory and applying to med school), and Brandon (my obsession before Ed and now best-guy that's not Ed-friend). They're great people and we have a ton-o-fun together...y'all would like them.

I head back to Austin on Monday to be there for New Year's Eve and then off to work on the 2nd. If any of you are looking for something to do..COME TO AUSTIN! or a place to stay..COME STAY WITH ME!

My Favorite 3 Christmas gifts:

1) Ed bought me a new phone! It's Window's version of the iPhone, touch screen and all! And this way we didn't have to change phone plans, yay us :) This also means that I am reliably receiving calls and messages, and pictures/videos! So call away! We're having a ceremony when I get back to Austin which involves me throwing my old phone on the concrete and running over it with my car, you should come :)

2) A new camera! It's beautiful and pink. My old one was sat upon by a very hefty man during a baseball game, cracking the screen down the middle and bending the lens..jerk. If you hadn't noticed, I have added 0 photos since last year, but will soon be adding more!

3) CRAZIEST THING EVER and a must have for tea-enthusiasts! You just poor hot water on the flower bulb, and it opens up in your tea pot--thus creating a very yummy green tea! Comes in a variety of flavors and flowers, I'll make you all a pot next time :)

Handing over my blogging V-card

I've never done this before..My first post!

A group of my besties are leaving me..and I can't help but think that the weather is playing off of all of our moods. I have one final left, SATURDAY morning..and all I want to do is go downtown for one last hurrah. Blah.
On a more exciting note: Ed bought me a Christmas tree..it's naked, but will soon be clothed in Christmas cheer!
"It looks like Christmas threw up out here.." --Taylor, Ed's brother

Tomorrow is mine and Ed's 6 year anniversary. Too bad I'm finaling and he's working, but we'll have a new date to celebrate soon enough!

I don't have a spare room like Miss Heather, but you girls are welcome on my couch or in my bed :) whenever you like. I'm a big fan of snuggling.


Ivy--you take the most ridiculous pictures of me..EVER.
