So you mean she didn’t drop off the face of the Earth?

Is anyone still reading?  I sure hope so – otherwise, this update is being written for nothing!

What has changed since my last post on July 17th?

  • I am now married
  • I am now a law student
  • I am now moved into a house in a new city
  • I have a TOTALLY new and crazy routine
  • I have no free time

The wedding was PERFECT.  As soon as the professional pictures are ready (believe it or not, they are still not finished with editing them) I will post a few.  Lucky for you, though, the honeymoon pictures are up!  If you go here you can see them.  There are about 800 and I kind of gave up on giving appropriate titles and explanations, so just be aware of that.

Law school is amazing, time consuming, and extremely difficult.  Amazing because it is what I have always wanted to do, and since the first day I have felt totally in my element.  Time consuming because I literally have no free time - I am either in class or studying during all hours of the day!  Extremely difficult because I miss having a life, having time to spend with my husband, and not feeling that guilt of “I need to read” or “I need to study” looming over me everyday.

I came down with some sort of flu this week, and yesterday I didn’t get out of bed.  Luckily, today I am feeling much better.  I’m going to get caught up on cleaning, do homework, and prepare for the weekend study session that will occur tomorrow and Sunday.  We have a Contracts midterm coming up on Thursday, and I do not feel as prepared as I want to feel. 

Oh my, Kate Gosselin is really on The View right now?!  You have got to be kidding me.  And her hair is hideous, I’m sorry.  Anyway, I’m off to get going on all this stuff.  I am keeping up with everyone via Google Reader, and I’m going to try to get back on Twitter more than once a month.  :)

I Still Exist!

I’m alive, I swear (for those of you still reading). The last month or so has been SO busy. I’ve never been this busy in my life! And I thought things would calm down a little after graduation – I was totally wrong! Anyway, the bachelorette was last weekend, moving this weekend, unpacking next weekend and wedding the next weekend after that! Craziness. I will have lots and lots of pictures to post – sometime next week in between unpacking boxes, I’ll have some free time. Sit tight, I’ll be back to do a proper update!

My Bridal Shower

Jun 15

Last Saturday, my best friend and I got up early to make our trip home for the weekend.  Well, to my home.  She lives on the other coast.  Anyway, we grabbed a quick breakfast at McDonald’s and started our trip.  As we drove, we talked wedding, goings on in our lives, and all that girly stuff.  We made it home by 11:30am.  My mom was so excited to see us!  We got all of our stuff inside and ran up to the cake place.  The cake lady agreed that the flowers we bought for the cake wouldn’t work.  We agreed on hydrangeas that she would die to match our lilac color.  I love going to the cake place, because the lady has it set up like a dainty boutique.  Seriously, it is wedding cake mania in there, with a cute dining room table and chairs for tastings.  She serves everything on china and even serves water in tea cups! 

We had enough time after going to talk with the cake lady to get home, change, and head to the shower.  My sister was already there when we arrived, but she and my sister-in-law (also my matron of honor) were still setting up.  It was weird; they wouldn’t let me help and I had nothing to do!  I started feeling really weird, almost like an out of body experience.  It was a combination of anxiety and the thought of being the center of attention.  People starting coming, I would greet and introduce them, and before I knew it, the party had begun!

We started out with introductions around the room; since there were about 30 people there, we pretty much needed to have everyone introduce themselves.  The sweetest thing was when we got to my stepdad’s family – everyone introduced themselves as my sister, aunt, cousin – no “step” involved.  It was a very subtle thing, but very special to me. 

We got some food (which was amazing – finger sandwiches, spinach dip, fruit skewers, sangria, wine, etc.) and started the first game.  My sister-in-law asked Tom a bunch of questions beforehand, and she asked me those.  People guessed how many I would get right.  If I got a question wrong, I had to put a piece of gum in my mouth.  Out of 12 questions, I got 7 wrong!  I swear though, Tom tricked me.  No joke, one of the questions was “How many times in a day do I fart?”  I guessed 50 times, but his answer was, “17.  One day, I counted.”  Tom’s mom was mortified, and I was slightly embarrassed, but everyone laughed.  I made sure to get a picture of my chewed gum for Tom, since he gave me such interesting questions to answer!

The next game we played was a “Bobbi or Tom” bingo game.  Several questions were asked, people would show a “B” or “T” on their paddle and would get to mark that square on their bingo card if they got it right.  We didn’t make it all the way through the questions before someone called “BINGO!”

Next up, we had cake and I began opening my gifts.  I got an insane amount of gifts!  My most prized possession was what I received from my future mother-in-law.  Her gift was wrapped in a shirt box, and when I opened it, there was a letter that told me about the gift.  The letter told me about Tom’s christening cap that was too big for his little head.  The christening cap is to be used for my handkerchief the day of the wedding.  As you can imagine, it was a very emotional moment, and I cried a lot!
The rest of the pictures are those that I picked from the 180 or so that my sister-in-law took and sent to me.  Click to see the full size pictures.  I had such a wonderful time with thirty or so women that I adore.  I can’t wait for the wedding!

I am SO behind …. thank wedding planning, work, and life in general! I have been so busy lately that I haven’t even had time to really visit any sites, draw a winner for the makeup giveaway, or even log onto Twitter. Bare with me guys, please! I did manage to get some coupons in the mail from that giveaway. I should have a few minutes to myself this weekend to update, redo some things on here and upload some pictures. Until then, hope you guys are having a great week!
