I promise I will get better at posting...
Anyways lately has been pretty crazy. I quit my job at Zones, that's right, I finally got up the courage to stop being miserable and take my life back. I got a job at Nordstrom selling clothes in BP in Bellevue. Not my dream job but it's a job and if I do a good job I could move my way into their corporate marketing department since it is in Seattle so it could turn into a great opportunity. Plus it's nice right now working more retail hours because I have gotten to spend more time with Mark.
I've had a lot of days off work lately which has been really relaxing and nice for me although I know I need to really work hard when I'm at Nordstrom so I can prove my worth so they will keep me on full time. I'm pretty excited about this opportunity but also nervous because if I don't do well I could all of a sudden be jobless and there aren't many jobs out there that I can be excited about. But I will never stop looking.
Relaxing time lately has meant I have been out on the beach near Mark's apartment. But also, obviously, I've been working on the wedding.... It's coming so soon! Today is 81 days til the wedding. Mainly what I have left to do is figure out cake and my hair. Mark and I have done 2 tastings, Mark and I are not really cake people, so as we see pricing it's like really? Today after giving it more thought I'm starting to think maybe we should do a small nice cake, and add a sheet cake and/or cupcakes. This had been suggested as a cost savings measure and until now I just kept thinking that for pictures I would love a big cake. But thinking about it more, I thought to myself, "really? Pay way more just for maybe 1 good picture?" So we'll see..
The nice part is I'm really not stressed at all. Just trying to save money in all the areas I can and also thinking about dancing with my dad for 3 minutes is a little nerve-racking because I'm nervous for that.
At this point I'm just really excited for the wedding weekend to be here so I can see all my friends that I haven't seen in almost a year, or more for some friends! Also I'm really excited for the honeymoon. Mark and I are going to Couples Swept Away in Jamaica. http://couples.com/swept-away/ It is all inclusive; food, drinks and activities. Needless to say we will have a fabulous time doing everything!! As Borat would say "so excite!"
I'm also excited that two of my friends have gotten engaged so I have at least two weddings to attend next summer!
That's all for now and I am going to try to start updating more often, with a shorter update!
Always Mikaylee
