Bahhhhhhhh!!! That's the kind of day it has been. I overslept (although that isn't really unusual!) and then some jerk cut in front of me waiting for a spot in the parking garage. Totally disrespectful!! School is so overwhelming this semester. It is definitely my toughest semester yet. It wouldn't be so bad, but I have one class that just puts pressure on everything in my life. I'm already stressing about a paper that is due in a couple of weeks and to top it off we were assigned our group presentation today. Normally I would do a happy dance for a presentation as it is usually easy points. Not this time! We have to do ridiculous amounts of research and provide primary and secondary texts and then "facilitate a discussion" about our topic when 95% of the class won't understand it anyways. Fab-u-lous. Just fabulous.

It has always perplexed me why college professors do not have to know how to teach at all. Standing in the front of the room spouting off information=NOT teaching! College is the schooling that provides you with some of the most valuable information that you'll ever learn. I would think that you would want to learn that in an effective way. Guess not.

On a happier note, let's talk wedding! Our photographer e-mailed me yesterday to let me know our CD of our engagement photos is on its way!! Yayyyy wooot wooooot! I am officially stalking the mailman until it gets here. In the meantime here is a teaser for you.

Our photographer Jaime De La Cruz is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend her! If you want to check out her site it is http://www.delacruzstudios.com/ Enjoy! I will post more photos when I get them!

Exciting wedding note #2 for the day:  I had an epiphany about my invitations while I was laying in bed Sunday night at about 12:30 a.m. :) I really want to create my own invitations and I am in love with pocketfolds but they are so darn expensive. Well, I figured out a way to create a version of a pocketfold using 12x12 paper. I made a very, very rough draft, but papercutting at midnight in the dark is not very effective. So I will make a better rough draft soon and post a picture! We have fall break coming up in a few weeks at school and I will use one of those days to really nail down some details of the invitations.

All the best,

Ainslee
