It seems like I only update about once a week. Maybe I should change that.

School's pretty good. I got a 49/50 on an editing assignment. I was pretty excited about it. I just applied for a job at Wasatch Elementary. It's a library job, and has good pay. I actually REALLY hope I get it, and I have a feeling that I am going to get it. I hope I'm right :) It took me a lot of courage to go into the school to give them my resume and cover letter...lame, I know. Stephan went in with me, and all I had to do was give the stuff to the receptionist. All that worry for nothing.

Last Saturday, Stephan and I went up to Sandy so I could show him Le Jardin. He was pretty taken aback by it at first. You see, he's grown up in Utah, where the norm is to have wedding receptions in the cultural hall or at someone's house. Don't worry, he loves the place. It just took some getting used to. We talked to the woman in charge of Le Jardin about our arrangements, and found out there was more we needed to do than I had anticipated. We also found out that we would have to alter the time our reception was to end. We have the place reserved from 12-4, and originally we were planning on having the reception from 1-4. Well, we found out that the reception has to be completely done and cleaned up because there is another reception at 5. Oy. So, the reception is probably going to be from 1-3 or so. And let me tell you, there is a lot more time coordination I thought. I have to tell them when we're cutting the cake, so they can set up for a dance. Stephan really wanted to have a first dance, I didn't. But I conceded since he hasn't asked for much. The plan is for us to have our first dance, and then to leave the floor open for dancing if people want. We'll have music playing. And folks, be prepared for a lot of Josh Groban, Michael Buble, Beatles, Carpenters, etc. That's the great thing about it being your own wedding--you can choose whatever music you want...ha ha ha.

So, after we left Le Jardin, I was basically freaking out because of all the extra planning that needed to be done. I was also dehydrated at this point, so I was probably really overreacting. Stephan then decided to pull over at the mall in Sandy so we could find something cool for me to drink and some food for him. We got juliuses. Strawberry lemonade ones. Mmmm. I was a happy person after I got something to drink and was able to cool off. We hung out at the mall for a while. We went in a few stores. We ended up in Bath and Body Works at one point. I found the fragrance that I normally use and love (Japanese Cherry Blossom). Well, we came to find out that that particular fragrance was labeled under "The Sexys". No wonder Stephan likes it so much...HAH! I also got a new fragrance. It was a citrusy one. It smells SOO good, and Stephan likes it too. Hee hee.

After that, we went and got dinner and then went to his house for a little while. We talked over planning stuff with his parents. My head was on straight at that point.

So yeah, wedding planning can lead to insanity. I'm only glad that I have less than three months of this left. I'm also glad that I'm not planning a super elaborate wedding.
