The Dean's List!

This may not seem like such a big deal to some people, but to me, it is very exciting! I have always done alright in my classes but nothing ever really impressive. Since I have been dating John, he has inspired me to work harder and to not accept mediocrity on anything I do anymore. I have been working much harder and my grades have definitely improved over the last year. Well last quarter was a big change for both John and me because we both started going to new schools. He started going to the University of Washington and I started at Central Washington University. Unbelievably, I just found out that all of the hard work and countless hours we spent on homework and class has paid off and we BOTH made it on the Dean's List for our respective schools! YAY for us!

And as a side note, we found our invitations but they were definitely not from the Paper Zone!

Wedding Invitations

I have been having the hardest time finding the perfect wedding invitations for my wedding. I have looked at all of David's Bridals selection and none of them seem to fit. I have also looked at Costco and other online wedding invitation stores and nothing seems to be what I am looking for. I have ordered sample invitations from several different places and I haven't really liked any of them yet. I'm excited though because John and I are going to the Paper Zone this weekend in Tukwilla to look at more invitations. These invitations are going to be more difficult because we will have to make them ourselves but from the different ideas I have seen, I think we may have finally found the store! Hopefully this is it!!!

My True Color

Orange

You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolizes attraction. Orange is an extraordinary color — for an extraordinary person.

Food Tasting

So last weekend, I was able to go to my cousin Nick's wedding reception in Pasco, WA. The reception was beautiful and it was so nice to see everyone and to meet my cousin's new wife Cris and her wonderful family. It was especially fantastic to see my cousin Marcus whom I will not be seeing for quite some time.
While we were in Pasco, my parents and I went to do a food tasting for my wedding reception. I had no idea what to expect because obviously, I had never done one before. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the overall atmosphere of the restaraunt. Everyone was so nice and were so willing to answer all of our questions... and there were a lot! And at the end of the food tasting, they packed all of the extra food and sent it home with us. Which of course we forgot at my grandparents house!

So the menu goes like this: Chicken Dijon
Beef Tips
Cheesy potatoes
Greek Salad
Italian Pasta Salad
Green Salad
Fruit Display

Hopefully even the pickiest eater can find something to eat!
