It feels so weird to know that classes start tomorrow and I don't have to go. Haha. And I don't have a job yet, so I'm going to be sitting around at home doing nothing while Brian and Megan go to campus. I did have my second interview at Lutheran Services of Iowa last Wednesday, so I'm hoping I'll have a job soon. I'm getting really sick of sitting home doing nothing all day. I need something to do and I need money! Haha.
I suppose I could clean the apartment. We're still getting stuff unpacked after moving. I should be spending my days putting stuff away, but the first week we were here I busted my ass to get stuff cleaned up and organized for my birthday/graduation party and I haven't really been in the mood to do anything since. lol.
Nothing has really happened since the last time I wrote. We've done some planning for the wedding, and done a lot of nothing. Brian's been workin a lot and he had band camp this week, so he's pretty exhausted. We're gonna go view some venues next week some time (after I call the venues. haha).
Jamie and Ethan are on the rocks right now. Last week Ethan left the house and partied with his friends without even telling Jamie that he was leaving, and didn't come home for 2 days. Jamie told him they were over and started packing up her stuff and Aden's stuff, and then I guess Ethan wanted to talk so they talked things through and they're back together but giving each other time. Jamie stayed at mom's house for about a week. I just hope he can grow up.
Well, this post was full of a bunch of nothin. haha. Anyways, I'm done I suppose. Hopefully I'll have a job before the end of August!

This one's for you, Cassie;-)
Haha, just kidding. It's just funny that you always give me crap for not updating more often. I wish I could think about it more often.
Anyways, it's been 3 months since I last wrote. Lol. As of May 27th, 2009, Brian and I ARE engaged now. It was so cute. We were in Texas staying with his uncle for just over a week. We were out driving around, exploring the country outside San Antonio. Brian was looking for a place to take pictures on top of a hill so he could get a good view, but we drove around looking forever before we found one. We finally found a rest stop that was on a hilltop and had a beautiful view. Brian was setting up his tripod to take some pictures and I was just checkin out the scenery. Finally, he sits me down on the picnic table and asks me if I remember what he told me when he gave me my promise ring (2 years and 5 months ago) and at first I said no, but then I thought about it and remembered and told him that he'd said it was temporary until he could get me something better. Then he got down on one knee next to me and said "Would this be better?" as he pulled out a ring. I almost started crying and of course I said yes since this is what I've been waiting for for almost 2 years. lol. The best moment of my life.
Anyways, now we're in our new 3 bedroom apt and trying to get the place all unpacked for this weekend. We're having an engagement/new apartment warming/Jacque's 23rd birthday/graduation party this weekend, so we want the place to be all put together. I can't believe I'm going to be 23 in 3 days! I feel so old.
Aden turned a year old a few weeks ago. I can't believe it's already been a year. It seems like yesterday that I was just holding him as a newborn baby. And Jamie's due in November, just a few months away, and she's having another boy. One of the names they've picked out is Benson, which I think is adorable. She's getting very nervous, too, because she's worried that she can't take care of a one year old and a newborn baby at the same time. Of course, I told her I'd help her out whenever I can.
I'm all done with classes and my internship for the summer, so I'm all ready to graduate now. I've been looking for a job, but so far no luck. I've been applying for backup jobs just to make money until I find a good job. It sucks knowing that I just spent 4 years in college and I'm going to be working at a job for minimum wage or a bit more for a while. I applied at Consumer Credit Counseling Services and had an interview there, but they haven't called me back or anything, so I should probably call them to check in on that. Other than that, I've applied at Wells Fargo as a teller, which I already got an email saying I didn't get the job. I applied at Lutheran Services for a couple salary positions, but didn't get those either. I've applied at a couple receptionist jobs in Des Moines, and I applied at JCPenney's here in Ames, but haven't heard back about any of them. I'm still looking online for more jobs, too. I'm running out of money, so I've got to find something soon. Haha.
I would have added pictures to this post, but my computer was recently reformatted and all of my pictures were transferred to my new computer, so I have none on my laptop. Why am I not using my new computer? Because it's a desktop and we only have wireless here, so I'm waiting for my wireless usb convertor to come in the mail. It's been like 3 weeks and I'm beginning to wonder where it is.
Anyways, I can't think of anything else to write about for now, so I'm going to get going and get some more stuff put away. Later!
