Life is Good

I was told by my lovely friend Liz that I hadn't updated my blog in a long time. And she is absolutely right!

I just left everyone (well, the two people that read my blog) hanging about my engagement and my life. Well, since February, not much has been going on at school. I have two large papers left to get done in the next three weeks and a final. Otherwise, I'm pretty much doing nothing.

I do have three jobs (yes, three)!! First one is at Applebee's for the summer. I needed a job and serving at a restaurant will get me some cash. Second one is the assistant JV coach at Central! Whoop! I get to stick around campus and play the sport I love. The third one is a full-time paid internship in Central's Communications department! I get to write lots and lots of press releases for the school as well as build up a portfolio of work. Seriously blessed to have all of these opportunities!

And on top of that, I just won a journalism award, The Steve and Joyce Bell Excellence in Journalism Award. Along with the recognition of hard work on the school newspaper the past two years, the award came with a check! Thank you to the Central Communication Department and Steve and Joyce Bell! Very unexpected, but I am very grateful to receive it!

In March my future in-laws paid for us (as well as Curt's brothers and their wives) to go on a cruise! First time cruising, and I can't lie, it was pretty amazing. We visited Cozumel, Mexico, Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and a private island in the Bahamas. Loved it all! Can't wait to go on another cruise in December (yep, going on one with the parentals to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Honduras, and Belize).
Parasailing in the Bahamas!
As for the wedding plans, I am waaaay ahead of the game. We set the date (April 13, 2013) and I have been looking at Pinterest everyday since. It's an addiction. I have a venue, church, photographer, and dress...all the big stuff done except catering. It all just fell into our laps very quickly, and I'm okay with that!

Overall, life is good! Hope you all have an amazing day!
