Wedding up-date

This was a comment, but I thought I would post it so that it is obvious and easy to find. Read on. (OH! And I get to go to my first fitting of my dress in the actual fabric that it is being made out of on Sunday! and I just saw the wax form of my wedding ring today from Brittney my Waaaayyyyyy awesome jewler friend who is making our rings...and it is so beautiful! It actually interlocks with the engagment ring!)

Okay
Here is the deal with the Wedding.
I am getting the invites out by the end of the month, and they will be in all of your mail boxes, fret not.

June 20th, Rehersal Dinner
all of you who will be in town will attend this, regardless of whether or not you are actually IN the ceremony.

June 21st, Ceremony and Reception
you are all invited, yes it is a wednesday. It is small and intimate and will be for close friends and family.

June 23rd, Bachelorette Party (actually we need another name for this!)...defile the bride party??

June 24th, Marriage Celebration
Huge Party with live music line up and fire dancing for all who can't be there or are not invited to the ceremony!

So, that is the line up. I am not so stressed out anymore by the ammount of planning yet to do but Aaron has begun counting down the days!
It is crazy.

I really can't wait to see you all.

Love,
noey

ok, so i will try the telephone instead for means of communication:)
last night i went to mexico and stood on the beach and touched 2 countries. the border at the beach is absolutely ridiculous...nothing but a cruel joke. the mexico side is populated by small beachy shops and during the day beach-going folk. and the american side is barren except for huge towering lights that blind you and hummers tucked into the hillside staring out toward the fence - which painfully mocks all those hopes of the american dream. it is railroad track material extending 30 feet up into the air. but i could, literally, fit between some of the beams. i started to do so - half in, half out - but the light got brighter on us. didn't feel like getting arrested and interrogated. met some mexicans who were trying to cross to meet up with their wives and children, and i wished them luck. strange world.

summer ize again

sorry i forgot to tell you it's me: it's me! andrea that is.

summer ize

i wish i had the time to add the words i'd like to add, but as it is, i'm at work in my nice little office surrounded by nice little people working on nice little projects. ok, so those'r lies. i don't work with little people and the projects are HUGE, but the office is small. until i actually have time to make this an authentically blogged note, please please please tell me details of the wedding so i can try and find a ticket (anyone know an airline that accepts food stamps???) :)! short review of life: sunny bananatrees topiary puppies arabiya springtime on the beach mosques mexico espanol barefoot on saturdays stolen bicycles :( and gelatto:) i love you all.

Do you Have the Stamina?

Alright all you fantastic women. I have finally succumbed to the era of technology. I have a AIM account. Unbelieveable, eh? If you want to chat via AIM, e-mail me with you username and I will do so in return. Believe me, I have plenty of free hours to bore you with while I am at work. Like now. At work. Writing this. Score.

My life has been pretty uneventful. I did sign up to take the GRE in August, so that is eating up any free time I do have with studying. It is like I almost forgot how to do it! For shame. But I feel very good about actually taking the steps to advance. It will be awhile before that takes me anywhere - but things are in motion.

I think I might be flying to Chicago this weekend. One of those last minute packages offered a round trip flight and two-night at a four-star hotel for an unbelievable price. And Chicago has been creeping up in conversation too frequently for me to ignore the signs that I must visit soon. If not this weekend, I am definitely going to go this summer. As well as a potential trip to Seattle over Memorial Day weekend for the Gorge Festival . Anyone want to come? That might make my decision easier!

Noelle - Will you send me some info about the wedding? I would love to make it, but I have to make the plans with work. Unless that is, I am no longer invited... Aw.

Em and Kasia - I share your anxiety about what the hell to do with my life/getting a job. I think wrestling is an admirable career. Teaching too. So let's find a niche for me... crepe maker?

Andi - Lovely to talk to you the other day. Your e-mail is in the works.

Lex - I am so glad to see you update here. It was almost like we were at different ends of the earth. But only mere hundreds of miles apart. Weird, I know. Nice to hear from you.

Erika - You are a rockstar!

Everyone - I miss you all terribly.

That is all from me for now. All the best, compadres,

Employed or Bust?

Hello friends, Emily here. I am almost officially done with my MIT program, just the annoying last paperwork to do. Now I am trying to get a job for next fall, and sub here in Seattle until then. It is all more complicated to secure than I had hoped, but I am trying to remain optimistic. For now I am babysitting, sleeping in too much, and reading a lot. Which is great, but don't pay tha bilz. I had wanted to spend this time traveling the near by states where you friends live, but it turns out I have to fill out long applications and wait around to see if I can get some interviews. Plus theres that whole no money thing. Did I mention I'm trying to be optimistic? I am bad at big changes like this... as you all may know, but I'm hanging in there and actually doing pretty good despite my crappy job catchin skilz. Plus Phil is still wonderful, though I feel he is not fully approved until he meets you gise. Well thats it from my end. I miss you gise a lot, I really do. Especially now that I am allowed to come out of my lesson writing hole and see the flowers blooming! Hell, is it really almost Easter?! Holy Mother of Resurected Guy! wow. well, thats enough Emily, you can stop typing now.

CHEERS.
