"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

I Sort Of Fell of the Blogger Wagon..Oops!

Uhhh...where did two months go?
Time is moving quickly which is a good thing in my book. The more time that passes the closer I am to graduating! yay!!! I am in my second to last semester at Chamberlain. I'll be graduating in February '11. Woohoo!
Mom is looking to take a Hawaii getaway after I graduate. Would be reallll nice to go there with Mike for a week! I want to go real bad. But let's see if finances will permit such luxury. Plane tickets are around 600 per person from Phoenix. Good news is that mom can get a suite for 200/ week since she works for a resort back in PA. Hoping it all works out. So much to plan. So little time...as usual. I want to go snorkeling and surfing and drink on the beautiful beach. (I miss the beach A LOT) I love to swim in the ocean.
So, obviously, the wedding planning has been put on hold. Mike and I discussed it and decided that we are in no rush to have a wedding if its going to put a strain on us financially. Not worth it. Will be easier when we are a two income household and we can actually afford to save. We are thinking maybe late 2011 like October, November or something. Or maybe early 2012. It would be a nice time to have a wedding since the weather is beautiful here that time of year. Not hot but not cold. A nice getaway for my east coast family. Speaking of which, Mike and I returned from our PA trip in late June. Here's a couple pics.

In other news, Mike and I have been watching so many shows an movies. Gotta love Netflix! We are now all caught up with the HBO True Blood series. We love it. We are also in the second season of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm. Very funny. We also finished watching Party Down. Also very funny. Yesterday we watched New Moon. Meh. Kristin Stewart is terrible. She sucks the life out of the story. I am thoroughly disappointed with the movie translation of an amazing story. The movie takes away from the adventure and intricate details. Yes, I loved the Twilight Saga Books. Overall though, I have to say, that I like the Sookie Stackhouse novels better. I have read all 10 and they are far more adult and I love the mystery in them. They are addictive. I highly recommend them to anyone who loves fantasy stories. My next read will be The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This series has gotten a lot of attention recently and I was to see what the hype is all about. Hoping I can begin this one soon. It is listed at 7.15 on the Kindle right now.

Mike and I went to see Inception last night and it was epic! I can't spend the time to write all of what I think of it here right now. Just go and see.

Also, we got a new kitten named Uzi. He is a sweetie. Cute and expensive as he's already had 3 vet visits and I've had him for 3 weeks. Yikes!
