So I graduated. Became engaged. Got the job. All within literally 72 hours. Now, I am finishing my final days at Rainbow Veterinary Clinic, preparing myself for the corporate world and have become a bridezilla. The wedding date is August 7th 2010, so I have about 7 months to pull this all together. We moved the date up a whole year for a variety of mostly boring reasons and I am happy. I love my fiance to pieces and I am so excited to start writing this new chapter of our lives. It’s only slightly more difficult than I would expect to be normal because we’ve both just made huge career changes and all of the madness occurred right before/during the holiday season. Next week I have a few days off before I start working at my new location. During this 5-6 day period I plan on brushing up on my computer skills, purchasing an entire new wardrobe (no more scrubs…ahhhh! Business suit mania!), and figuring out a few of the priority tasks on my wedding list.

So far I know for sure that my bridesmaids are wearing a rich purple-ish color called “Sangria” and that my dress is going to be a serious piece of artwork. I am so thankful to have a talented mother who makes her living by designing and making wonderful costumes and clothing. I can also tell you that my invitations are adorable. I can’t wait until we sign the contract for the venue (hopefully next week) so I can just ORDER them already!

Oh yes, Kyle took me to the jeweler this past weekend to pick out my wedding band. It’s white gold like my engagement ring with a single row of small, sparkly white diamonds going across the band. For his, he had actually purchased a really great diamond and gold ring in Puerto Rico years and years ago. We had it sized and polished so it fits his left ring finger now instead of his pinky. I will post pictures some day when I am not a zombie. As we both have acquired new shiny office jobs, Kyle also bought us each a nice watch while we were waiting for the jewelery to be cleaned/sized, etc. They are Eco-driven, meaning they require no batteries, only exposure to light. Sort of neat, hooray for saving the earth.

Off to let the dogs out and get to bed. Today was insane at work and tomorrow will likely be a repeat. Good night!
