I HAVE to...

There are 3 things in my life that people ask me about right now. Usually in this order, but not always.. 1) Find a job? 2) How's the wedding planning coming along? 3) How's your back? --SO again, obligator-ily (?), I should talk about these things!

Yes, I found a job. NOT my first choice and certainly not my dream job, but it is a job and a jumping off point, so for that I am grateful and excited. Who knows, maybe it will turn out to be exactly what I never knew I wanted. Its only part time right now and its the 12 hour night shift (which i think i prefer!). However, during the summer months while I'm going through orientation, I'll be full time and working the day shift. As I said, the experience will be invaluable and maybe will be lead me to my dream job!

The wedding, the wedding...oh where to begin! Planning is coming along--sporadically. :) At first we were planning fiends and we got soo much accomplished! Now we're kind of at a stand still. Not sure if this is because there isn't much to do at this point or if I'm just a little overwhelmed with other things at the moment (i.e. starting a new job, healing from back surgery, etc.). Its still so much fun and MY DRESS IS IN!! I screamed when the lady called and told me. Oh well, I'm sure I'm not the first bride-to-be who's done that. :) We're also in the midst of "marriage counseling". Oh the fun we're having with that. Note the sarcasm, please. :) Brad is...well, he's present for it, and he's semi-attentive, mostly interested, doing his best not to fall asleep. LOL I suppose it isn't entirely his fault as he can only decipher 1/4 of what Father is saying. AND as all Catholics know, the marriage counseling process can be extremely boring and tedious. IF getting married in my beautiful church wasn't so important to me, I probably wouldn't care that much about having a Catholic wedding (but don't tell Brad that!) The wedding is 6 months from todays date and I can't believe it! After today we'll have been engaged for longer than we have left to wait! Seems nuts that we got engaged 6 months ago.

Aaaand my back..I would put it at about the back of a 37-40 year old, which is an improvement! I was about at that of a 75 year old! So I'll take it. Ha, no seriously its doing pretty well. My back feels great most of the time. Its my right leg that still bothers me. The muscles are EXTREMELY tight from nerve damage, but Dr. Meyer (my orthopoedic surgeon) and Luisa (my physical therapist) assure me that this will heal and with strengthening and stretching, I'll be good as new! Whoot! :)

Day 1

Okay so this is going to be the obligatory (well at least for me) first day trying to figure out WTF is going on here. Soo picking out a layout/template/skin/background...whatever you want to call it...for my blogspot has been an interesting adventure, as you may or may not see here on my page, because to be really honest with you, I have NO idea what my layout/template/skin/background is currently. Its such an adventure, right? Better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring and I can honestly say that sums up my life pretty well.

I'm hoping that once I have my page as BEAUTIFUL as I know it has the potential to be, I can focus more on whats going on with me and my life and you'll all be dying to get to your computers to read it! ha..
