| Okay. So I'm taking a vote. Everyone participate. Ready...GO!
I am making a wedding website for Adam & I, with information about us, wedding details, updates, etc. Since we haven't decided on a location yet, there wouldn't be a ton of info on it right now. But there would be our biographies, how we met, etc.
Now the question is: Should I post it now? Or wait till we've chosen a location?
Now: Pro's
- I'm excited about it!
- I think people would enjoy reading our story
Now: Con's
- It wouldn't have much specific information on it
Wait: Pro's
- It'd have way more information
- We could include the website on the Save-The-Date Cards
- Our story would make a little more sense in hindsight. Being long distance complicates things!
Wait: Con's
- I don't want to wait!
- We'd be engaged for like, nearly 6 months, if we waited - a little weird?
Let me know what you think...

| So one of my biggest fears happened. One of my clients died yesterday. I've always been so afraid of this happening, but didn't fully expect it cuz I don't anticipate working with old people. Well I don't have much of a choice with this externship. He was an older man in the hospital (some of our clients are in-patients = staying in the hospital; and some are out-patients = come into the Rehab Center for therapy), and he wasn't doing too well. I was trying to be optimistic, but I didn't really know what to expect. At least he isn't hurting anymore... RIP Mr. Tilson.
On a more positive note, I am nearly done with all my hours! We have to get a certain amount of hours before we can apply for our license, and I only need 24 more! Which also means I will most likely finish my externship earlier than expected. I am supposed to go 4x a week till July 31st, but I'll probably finish up by next Thursday! I may still go 1-2x a week, which will be a nice compromise. Then I'll have 3 extra weeks to pack/hang out/say my goodbyes.

| ...and it's happening. Even though the calendar is getting shorter, it's getting harder by the minute. I can't exactly explain it. It feels so close, yet so far at the same time. Only 20 more days at the hospital (counting actual therapy days - not weekends). Only 4 more weekends and he'll be here. Only 33 more days of long distance forever. Only 34 more days till graduation. Only 36 more days till we start the drive cross country. I know we can do it. I've never once doubted it. Just sucks MAJORLY.

| I am officially an employee of Language & Speech Therapy! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! That's insane!!! I have a job! Or, as Adam put it earlier today (while I was flipping out), I have a CAREER! When I accepted the position last night, MY BOSS seemed really excited, which made me feel really good about the whole situation. I mean, I felt pretty good about it before, but I've just been really anxious/nervous about it all. So when she got excited it made me happy. I will most likely start either Monday, August 11th, or the following Monday. I have to apply for a temporary license, which supposidly takes a few weeks to process, and I can't file it until I graduate, which gives me a small window to work with. Part of me doesn't want to start right away, cuz that week will pretty much be my last week of freedom. But at the same time, I really need the money. So who knows. We'll see what happens with the paper work, and that'll make up my mind.
That's pretty much it. Hospital externship is going pretty well, but it's obvious that I have no desire to work in the hospitals. Only 7 weeks left.
And then Kelly & Jesse's wedding in less than 2 weeks!!!

| So I feel like everything is a whirlwind right now. There is just so much going on! Just got engaged. Graduating in like 56 days or something. Trying to choose a job. TRYING TO CHOOSE A JOB! That's the most shocking of them all I think. Even tho they're all pretty shocking...
I haven't had much of a chance to talk about the engagement so far. It's been pretty much amazing. Well, as amazing as it can be long distance. Gonna be even better once I'm with him again!!!
Graduation is coming up so soon it's insane. In the membrane in fact. I'm starting to double check all my hours (we have to have 400 hours before we can graduate), making sure all the paperwork is ready for my license, etc etc etc.
And then there's job shopping. Holy eff. I interviewed with 7 places a few weeks ago: 3 public school districts & 4 private practices. I think I know which one I'm going to take, but I'm pretty scared about it. I'm so not ready to commit yet. I don't know why it's such a big deal, or why I've been getting so upset about it lately (I totally burst into tears last night, when talking about it all with my dear friend Deb), but it's upsetting me quite a lot. I guess I have been thinking about this day/time for so long, that I'm completely overwhelmed that it's actually here! I don't feel like I'm ready to leave the safety-blanket of school yet. It's all I've ever known...
