Feeling motivated today!

It's been quite a while since I've had time to update this!

I could start every one of these by saying the past few days have been crazy, but I'm assuming at this point anyone who reads this already knows I'm busy 99.9% of the time!

I was excited that our wedding invitations arrived in the mail yesterday, and with tons of extras that we didnt pay for! YES! I debated on a few things because they were a bit spendy, and although we decided not to spend the money to get a lot of the "extras," they arrived anyway! :) What a nice surprise! ...I think it really hit Derek and I now that the wedding will be here very soon!

Today is my day off, so I decided it was a good idea to get up at 6am! Crazy is the only way to describe that! Its now almost 10am and I've done all of my laundry, cleaned or organized our room, made a bunch of phone calls, finished a paper and started on another one, and now I just have to work on my part of our group project, and then I plan to get all of my scrapbook stuff organized and ready for our scrapbook weekend! Productive days like these are the BEST!! After today, I definitely wont feel so bad about having to work all weekend.

I got my taxes done last night...and I was surprised by how much I'm getting back. And it couldnt be better timing! It will be nice to know that I have the money available for the wedding, and wont have to continue to work overtime to pay for things. I also plan to pay my credit card off, which will be a huge relief! Derek had the great idea that he is going to pay for our honeymoon with his tax refund, since I've been paying for most of the wedding stuff up until now. Hes been so great..checking every day to get the best deals on everything and calling the travel agency asking questions. He managed to find us a great deal on our caribbean cruise, and we'll be spending half the price of what is advertised online! He wasnt kidding when he told me he would take care of the honeymoon and I wouldnt have to worry! :) Yay! I'm SO excited! I could really use a vacation right now!

After I got my taxes done last night, Derek and I went to see Marley & Me. We hadnt been to a movie in quite a while and I've really been wanting to see that one. I was already warned that I would cry my eyes out, but wanted to see it anyway. It was such a cute and very sad movie. You could see how the movie was going to end before it actually started, but it was still worth it. I definitely recommend it!

That is all of the exciting news I have. Keeping busy writing 2 papers a week, working on group projects, presentations, etc. Work has been good, but VERY busy lately. Hopefully the rest of the day will be just as productive.
