Why this blog?

A way to keep in touch mostly.

For a few years before we got engaged Matt and I talked about what we wanted our wedding to be like some day. Since the official planning has started I've been pulling a lot of pictures and ideas from the internet. We don't want the most traditional wedding ever, so using this blog to share my ideas and inspirations will be a way to share what's on my mind with all those interested.

I'll also be starting grad school in September, which I am really excited about - but also nervous. After 5 years at Eastern I was as comfortable as could be. I knew my professors (really well), I had an awesome campus job, and I basically felt right at home.

U of M School of Public Health (SPH) is one of the best schools of public health in the country, easily top 10, top 5 depending on the year you look at the survey. I was one of about 60 students admitted to the department I applied to, out of about 200 applicants. Not only will this be my first year at a new school (one MUCH different than EMU), I will also have to work harder than I've ever had to in order to prove myself.

I can't wait to have more to share on the school front. I start at the beginning of September. For now I am just working around 19-25 hours a week at the Ann Arbor District Library (AADL), and workin' on those wedding plans ;)

  1. Enjoy the summer! Mine is already going by too fast. This seems like a cool blog, makes me realize I haven't updated mine in a million years.

    Anyway, can't wait to see the wedding plans as they materialize.

    I'll be checking in,
    Melissa
