resumes, cleaning, & shopping






Ok, so I have less than 2 weeks until the dominican and I am going job hunting today! I'm printing out a few resumes and I dressed up wearing a blue shirt and matching skirt. I am also wearing these cute open-toed summery shoes with white flowers which is exciting because I can switch from the winter-looking business professional black and grey look to more summery-happy but still professsional clothes. My resume is soooooo awesome because I worked hard on it and Steve helped a little bit too. He took a course at the UofA on how to do a resume, so I pretty much have a genius helping me. I kinda want to work with old people, but I seriously don't know what is going to happen today and what is going to strike my fancy. I'm just going to apply everywhere and see what I get. But I'm crossing my fingers for old people.






Every night for the past few nights I have been going over to my future house and cleaning it. There is so much work that needs to be done...last night we did yard work and I cleaned the very dirty bathroom and it is looking soooooo good! Our yard is way nicer than the boy's yard! ha ha. We have young kids living on either side of us and little tiny dogs living on either side of our future home. Our house is probably the least distinguishable house on the whole street! It is so boring! Just that stucko with crushed beer bottles all over it! The funny thing is that on the inside it's a carnival! The walls are all different colors and we have miss-matched everythings because we have so many donations from the grandparents and relatives of my house mates. Everything is very exciting!






Last week the girls, a.k.a. the "womenican of dominican", went out shopping for sundresses and beach attire. It was pretty fun. I picked up some good stuff, makes me way more excited to go now! Yesterday Steve and I went shopping for some more beach attire and the funny thing is that we have these matching hats and shoes.....we are going to be such dorks but that's ok! Marla, if you read this, you have to keep this quiet...you are the only one who reads this out of the fellow travelers and we wanted to keep it secret!

feeling just awesome

ok, so christine's wedding was probably one of the best days of my life. Words can't even describe....pictures will be posted later. Not only did I have a good time but it was also the most entertaining wedding I have ever been to! And cozy too! And just awesome. Just awesome. Today me and Steve did nothing. Actually that's not true, this morning I wrote a final exam which I did poorly on, I will be satisfied with a D- because that class is the worst ever. Then I visited Steve and we went to the volkswagon dealership - yes I'm interested in a new car, I don't know how this all works but I want to learn more, I finally spent some of my christmas gift certificates at West Ed and visited the new H&M! I think it has resonable prices and lives up to it's hype, especially the women's clothing. Anyway, after that I just watched tv and had a nap! Homework is all done, classes are all done, I only have one final exam in psychology, I did good in it so it won't be hard! I'm feeling very good. very very great! now I have to get a job for two weeks.....because after that I'm going to the Dominican!

wedding fever


ha ha ha, this picture is funny. This is going to be us tomorrow minus the fact that these people are a different race! I am soooooooooo excited for christine's wedding! like really excited. I don't know if I have ever in my life been this excited for a wedding. I mean, it's kinda weird. I think about it all the time. I'm pumped to wear my bridesmaid dress. I always think, I can't wait for christine to walk down the aisle (is that how you spell that?) I'm going to bawl my eyes out! I also can't wait for the dance, for picture taking, for feeling comfortable with the people I am with, unlike the last bridesmaid experience that I had. So anyway, for all those attending this event, if you see me looking like I'm about to burst with joy out of my seams, I seriously am that happy. I'm so happy for christine and glen, I'm happy to party and dance, and not to mention today is the last day of school and tomorrow will be a great day to celebrate it. I also get to look pretty all day! ah, what more can I ask for?
