So fresh and so clean!
I had my first wedding shower this weekend!!! Oh boy, if you've never been on the receiving end of one of these bad boys... well I just wish you could! It was so much fun! I was a little nervous about being the center of attention-- those of you who know me are well aware that I'm not a fan of the whole idea of all-eyes-on-me. Honestly, I don't think I was the center of everyone's attention at the same time. I guess that's the trick. I got to see people I haven't seen in a long time and eat yummy girly foods (OMG THE FOOD!!!) and how can I forget the presents!!! I think I'll do this again... and again... and again... you get the point-- lots of showers to come!

Random List of Updates v.1
1. I am NOT as diligent about this blog as I thought I would be when I started writing.
2. You know the house that we were going to change a few things and would be "us"? Yea, now we (by we I mean mostly Andrew) have painted every room except the two bathrooms. Don't worry, they will be painted as well soon. Andrew and his dad have fixed termite damage (apparently if an inspector can't see it, it doesn't really count) in two walls, put up bead board and a chair rail in the kitchen, and are in the process of raising the bathroom floor about 1/2 inch (see number 3), and removing the toilets from the two bathrooms to paint and then have new flooring installed. Have I mentioned I love my fiancee more than anything?
3. Whoever built our house needs to be shot (in the foot- it's not punishable by death... yet). So, in our full bathroom, the floor behind the toilet has about a 1/2" gap between the wall and the floor. Andrew went under the house yesterday and noticed that when they installed the toilet, the sewage drain was going to go through the middle of a floor joist. So.... they cut it in half, because (insert sarcasm here) as I am SURE you know, that's the best way. There are many things we can add to our "fix later" list. This is not one of those things.
4. I'm ready to have this house how we want it-- in a safe livable condition!!!
5. As many (hopefully most) of you know, our house is in Centre, AL. My job in is Birmingham, AL. There is about 90 miles between the two. One heck of a commute if you ask me. I have been looking for jobs closer to the house (Gadsden, AL and Rome, GA mainly). About two weeks ago I had an interview in Gadsden for a nursing position in surgery. I got a call back earlier this week and will go for a peer interview on Thursday!!!
6. Wedding plans are moving along. According to the Bed Bath and Beyond registry website (and now my calculations) we have 62 days! We have so much done! We will get engagement pictures taken sometime this month-- still nailing down those details.
7. How awesome is registering for wedding gifts?! It's like shopping but a million times better.
8. My wedding dress came in a couple of weeks ago, and my first and probably only fitting is this Saturday!
9. Maybe I will update this more often?
