Wow, what a week...and more to come!

My, oh my; what a week it has been. Frankly, as far as I am concerned, this Prince William and Kate Middleton have nothing on Amanda and Chris’s wedding. It turned out to be a lovely event and the rain amazingly stayed away. It was an all together fun day with lots of pictures to commemorate the beautiful day and it was even a fun night afterward, hanging out with friends at the nearby Denny’s and enjoying some Baconalia goodness. Though I have to say it took me until Tuesday to recover from the wedding festivities.

I have recently determined that I need to lose some weight. I currently weight 156 lbs, I am hoping to get down to 135lbs roughly. I don’t want to be a stick figure but it would be nice to fit into my pants better. I also want to be able to do some more hiking. It’s an activity both Ryan and I can get into together plus it’s a great way to spend time out in nature.

Yesterday was my student section meeting at Santa Ana Community College. It by far a nice campus and the staff there was really supportive. The event itself was a hit. We had two recruiters from Adams and Martin came in to give some helpful training on how to create a resume and get noticed in this economy. We also had a panel of paralegals to discuss their experience in the legal field.

Not that those were enough, the next big item on the to-do list is moving. We found a cute little apartment here in Huntington Beach. The location is great, it’s closer to my office (not that I need to be any closer), it’s also closer to the beach, and we’ll only be 2 miles away. Now I just can’t wait to get this move over with. The place is going to be smaller but the grounds are nice. The only downsides are that we won’t have a dishwasher and we have to get a refrigerator, which is a total bummer because if we knew we needed a fridge I would have taken the one from our friends who were giving them away.

I suppose it’s a mixed blessing that we are going to be so busy. There are a lot of big things coming down the pipeline; like the OC Pet Expo, CLA exam, hands across California and some fun in between all the hard work. Amongst all these big events it’s the small things that matter. Like Italian Ice with vanilla ice cream and playing in the park with the dogs.

Eventually I will take a queue from one of my favorite authors, Gail Carriger's blog and post infusions of cuteness (hers shows the cutest pieces of vintage clothing)
