2. My oldest sister got married in May. Though they'd been engaged for months, Jen and Chad gave us about one month's notice as to the actual day the were getting married. Wedding preparations were a nightmare, but definitely worth it. Jen was radiant.
3. A friend and I attempted our own version of National Novel Writing Month in June. Though I only got about 6,700 words written, I still had a blast and learned a ton. That being said, my novel has been abandoned yet again.
4. After much crying, praying, and searching, in July I finally got a job, working for the Midvale Walmart on their remodel crew. I have some awesome co-workers, as well as few I'd rather never see again. The store is looking better, though the customers (and employees alike) are getting progressively confused about where to find things. The store's grand re-opening is slated for October 22. While I am infinitely grateful that I have this job, I have to admit that the recurring nightmares about pegboard, shrink wrap, and back-to-school-colored towels are rather unnerving.
5. Not sure where this fits in chronologically, but I've also attempted to clean my room a few times. Mixed results. At least I have a pathway to my bed.
And now I've arrived at August. Next week my family (sans moi) leaves for Disneyland, then we're headed to BYU Education Week, which I expect will be the highlight of my year. A week after that's over, I start school. Exciting things in the wind. Bring it on!
