Everything You Ever Wanted To Know

Here is the list of updates:

1. The Peace Corps idea fell through. I got a call some odd number of weeks ago and basically they only thing they had to tell me was that they just aren't getting the funding they thought they would have and although I have recognizable skills, I'm just not experienced enough. They apparently want people who are more trained than I am so they don't have to spend that extra money. You know? I kinda saw it coming, but I have to admit that I was definitely a little more than disheartened. It's one thing to tell your self it might not work and set guidelines as to when to pull my application. It's completely different when they call and tell you it's over.

2. Because of the Peace Corps, I'm living at home. And fighting the other 533,000 Americans for jobs. Boo.

3. I'm ENGAGED! That's right. You heard me. ENGAGED! The love of my life, my soulmate, my dreamer, asked me to marry him. And of course I said "YES!" Ok, so there was some excited tears and lots of hugging, but I said yes and so here I sit. ENGAGED! This actually happened the Monday before Thanksgiving, but for some reason, my blogging capabilities have been lacking. My apologies.

4. Wedding planning is way fun! I'm having lots of fun getting ideas and things. I like trying on dresses, picking out colors, etc. I just kinda wish that those who say it's my wedding and therefore is only up to me and my groom to make decisions, could take their own advice. Everyone... and I seriously mean EVERYONE comes up with ideas to give you about your wedding and then just after they hound you for about 20 minutes on what you "should" do, they tell you, "... but it doesn't matter what you do, it's your wedding. I just think this is something that would be a good idea for you." Right. And how is it that EVERYONE says that? Don't they remember getting married and having the same problem? So why pay a bad tradition forward?

That may be my update for tonight. That supposably covers the last 4-7 weeks or more of my life. I know, blamed boring. I get stuff.

Enjoy!
