Progress

Here's the progress I've made since both mine and Sam's  last post:

• Invitations are DONE being worded and ordered, thank goodness! (P.s. next up is addressing all 175 or so....UGH)
• Reception plans are pretty much finalized. Hurrah for having a reception place (and parents) that do almost everything for you....it is MUCHO appreciated :]
• I finally actually have a job now--making money is a good thing, cause without it our proposed budget would face flop. I'm essentially being a TA of sorts, grading audio clips of students (in which English is not their first language)  saying a sentence in English. I pretty much mark words right or wrong on the computer screen and click next. Simple and always varied = perfect in my opinion.
• I took 2 tests today (Intro to Bio-organic Chemistry and Physiology) and didn't fail either one of them! I seriously studied for the Chem test for about 6 or 7 hours, but I think it paid off.....hopefully my best Chem test score in BYU Chem class history is soon to get handed back to me. And Physiology.....well I didn't fail, and that was a miracle all things considered.
• Sam and I actually figured out when we were going to pay off all of our bills on our budget throughout the month....and came to a workable agreement. This is good, cause going into debt is not pleasant but ya gotta pay the bills. Living is so expensive lol.
• We found a couch and loveseat set that are fairly new (and look to be in good condition) for 130 dollars on craigslist--and we are going to buy them on the 7th so we can furnish our new apartment. Woohoo!
• Speaking of...I never mentioned that we actually found a place to live. I think I will force Sam to blog more details on that soon lol.
• My wedding band got ordered today, which is exciting, cause I didn't think we would be able to afford to get one until after the wedding. Funny how things manage to work out sometimes :]
• Sam's wedding ring came tonight (we ordered it online) and it fit and looked nice. Thank goodness, cause I was not looking forward to the idea of having to exchange it for something more expensive.....

I'm sure there's more stuff that I'm forgetting, but that's probably enough of a mouthful for right now anyway!

P.S. I can't believe that I'm getting married in a month.....sometimes that just hasn't quite sunk in yet......
