Grad School Classes

I am finished with them.

Today was my last real class of grad school! I have to go to 10 more over the next year, but those don't even have assignments and are just to talk about out internships. Speaking of internships...

I have one! A paid one! I'll be the School Psychologist Intern at the only two elementary school in a small district northeast of Denver. Which basically means I'm the mental health person for both of those schools. I won't have any direct supervision- we had that last year in our Practicum and internship is where we practice doing everything on our own. There will be lots of people I can call if I need help though. I'll start next Wednesday and it should be fun. I don't know what to expect, so I'll let you know how things go!

text google

Did you know that you can send texts to google and they will send information back? It's true. You can send a question like "Who is John Doe?" and they will send an answer back. It's usually something like an address or phone number, but sometimes other random info too. You can also text the name of a place and get the address sent back to you. You could type "wine store broomfield, co" and they'll send you a few names and addresses and phone numbers. This might be one of the coolest things I've learned all week!

To do it, you just send your text to 466453 (google)

Wedding Dress Shopping!

Since Craig and I were engaged in March, I've been on a few trips to look for a wedding dress. I went to several places in Nashville with my wonderful Maid of Honor, Claire, and found a few dresses that fit well. None of them were what I was looking for, but I got some good ideas about what would look the best. I mean, have you ever been in one of those places?!? I don't know how anyone knows where to start. All the dresses look more or less the same on the hanger until you know a few specific features you're looking for.

I also got to go to a few places in Macon to look for a dress with my mom. That was really fun. Even when strange people are looking at you in your underwear and using bright orange electrical clips to hold a dress on your body, it's really fun to try on as many dresses as you want! I am not someone who will ever put on a dress and think it's "the one"- there are so many great ones!

So with all of my ideas in mind, I found a bridal shop near my new home in Broomfield that had a lot of dresses at great prices. One of my bridesmaids, Krista, and I went tonight to look for a dress. I'm pretty tired of thinking about my dress and am ready to move on to thinking about other things (like shoes and stationary!), so I was in the mood to make decisions. I tried on 4 dresses and have narrowed it down to 2! No, I'm not going to write about them on here- that's the one secret I get to keep from Craig for the next year! The dresses are beautiful and not at all what I had in mind when I first started my search, but now I couldn't imagine anything else.

Back at it...

So I haven't been very good at keeping up with the rhythm of the blog lately. I haven't felt like I have anything to say and that may be true. But I started the blog so family on the other side of the country could keep up with my Denver life and I feel like I could do better to write about what's going on out here. It'll probably be good for me too. I think everyone could stand to be a little more self-reflective.

I'll probably be writing a lot about wedding planning and my new job, but I'm going to try to add a few little extras in here. So family (and friends) let me know if you want to learn how to know when I update the blog. It's as easy as looking at your google homepage!
