Wedding plans

Well, I'm off and running with the wedding plans. It sounds a little crazy to be planning now, but once school starts, I'll be really busy with my classes. This fall I will be taking:

Biomedical Materials
Introduction to Biomolecular Engineering (a lab and lecture)
Tissue Engineering
Applied Mathematics
BME seminar

That's quite a full course-load, but I'm going to finish ASAP. None of this 6 year Ph.D. nonsense.

So Keegan and I will be getting married June 20, 2009 at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Raleigh. This is the church his family belongs to, and I think it's really pretty. We'll be having a simple ceremony, since I'm not Catholic and no one in my family is Catholic, I'm not having a wedding that excludes my family. Before the wedding, we have a Marriage Prep Forum we need to attend; it's an all-day event, but it's supposed to help us prepare for marriage (as the name implies) and I hope it is useful. We will also be meeting with his priest a few times, and I might require extra meetings with him because I'm not Catholic and I'm not going to convert. I've also done some investigation into their hall to rent for the reception, but the woman in charge of scheduling those is on vacation until Monday, so I'll call back then. Now that we've got a date set, I guess I need to start tackling all the other things that go into a wedding... eep!

Right now I'm in the process of packing everything I own to prepare for my move to Durham. My brother and I are preparing to trade bedrooms while my sister is away at band camp. It's sneaky, but she'll throw a fit when she doesn't get my room. My room is the biggest of the non-master bedrooms, and my sister is older than my brother; however, my brother's bedroom has two doors that connect it to the bonus room and the hallway and bathroom where the rest of the bedrooms are, so everyone walks through it at all hours of the day. It's sort of like another hallway, and I think he deserves a room with one door. Plus if Kristin takes my room, then Hunter moves to hers and I move to his and that seems like one more move than is necessary. And she's going to college in 2 years anyway.

That's all for now; I've got more packing to do before I go to work! (Still working at Target until next Wednesday... gotta earn all the money I can before I move and start school!)
