its wedding week!

no, not my wedding...that's coming (but way too slowly!).

this week is rachel's.  it started this past sunday with a beautiful shower that her sister, krista, and mom, kay, put on (and if i wasn't so lazy there would be pictures of this event on my blog).  thursday we have the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner (we get pizza!), friday we get our nails done and decorate the place, saturday is the big day and the week culminates in a sunday brunch and present fest.

rachel and i have been best friends since third grade.  i must admit...i didn't hit me until sunday how cool this is.  that we've been friends for so many years and now we are sharing in one of the best times of our lives - finding the men of our dreams while our best friend stands at our side.  this is very cool.

needless to say, i am super excited and wish today was thursday so that we could be in full throttle wedding mode (which i'm sure rachel is in but unfortunately i cant be in that mode until thursday).

yea weddings!

so sorry for not posting lately. about two weeks ago the wireless that i was using disappeared so i had to get my own. ugh. i am not a fan of paying for internet. but, it became painfully obvious how addicted to it i am. i need it for everything!

although, i was fairly productive during that time because as soon as i got home all i could do was homework (and read...and boy did my reading go way up). but, alas, verizon solved my internet problems and i am now fully connected once again. my addiction is fed.

hopefully, i will be more active in posting now that i dont have an excuse. i'll give a brief run down on what i've been up to.

about every weekend joel and i do something related to the wedding...meeting with our friend doing our invitations, our friend making our cake, our friend designing our centerpieces, our friend helping us with the potluck...and, oh yes, pre-marital class. its all good stuff but it keeps us extremely busy.

i'm still looking for a job. i have now had 5 professionals/professors tell me that my resume is excellent and i shouldnt have any trouble finding a job. i hate them.

school is picking up and i have my first midterm next week. i'm not concerned.

i was recently hired as a research assistant for the dean of research. i'll be able to earn a little money this semester as i research animal rights.

i am currently deciding if i want to be an editor on the law review...this would mean more work but it sounds like a fulfilling activity and it would look excellent on my resume.

oh...how could i forget?! i have rachel's wedding next saturday! this sunday we are having a shower for her; next thursday is her rehearsal dinner; next friday we are decorating the place; and then saturday is the blessed day. after that, i get to watch her two kitties for a couple weeks while they are on their honeymoon! aahhh...can't wait.

well, i hope this is ok for now. happy valentine's day! joel bought me a david sedaris book. we had thai food and watched elizabeth. it was a great night!

this evening, joel and i enjoyed one of the perks of santa monica living.  we walked to pradeep's indian restaurant on 14th and montana.  after enjoying a delicious indian dinner we walked to rite aid for some very delicious ice cream.  we then enjoyed our ice cream on our walk back home.  i love walking around the city!
