Wedding Video



I love weddings, and I'm always interested in learning more about the industry. It's just so magical and fun! I really like the blog http://www.snippetandink.com/. The woman who runs the blog got married late last year, and I love the video that was put together of her and her husband and their courtship and wedding experience. Check it out by clicking on this sentence. Wasn't that just the best?! If I can afford a videographer for my own wedding, I'm sure I'll do it. What a neat keepsake!

A Day

I'll just say

it's been a day.

The 'view



Hope I'm the best candidate. Choose me!!

I'm taking big breaths of hope because I scored a job interview via phone (thanks again, Alexander Graham Bell) that'll happen tomorrow. This 'view can change my life. So, dear friends, blog followers, strangers, and boyfriend Ben, I respectfully request your prayers, in addition to mine, for me and this important chat. I'm so grateful that I have this opportunity to quite possibly make my move to Utah. THANK YOU!

Tale of a Jogger



Yeah, I looked something like this. Rawr. Nope.

I was jogging down one of my main neighborhood roads this evening and approached a thug walking in the same direction. He was wearing big, baggy jeans and an over sized black hoodie. His swagger totally complemented our suburban, middle-class 'hood....not.

And, at the very second I ran past the guy, a couple of hooligans in a white mommy Subaru drove by yelling, "WOOOOOOOH!!!" like they were on some Disneyland ride. The guy in the passenger seat stuck his head out the window like some happy dog. Now, as much as I want to believe they were hollering at Mr. Swag, it was probably me, only because I'm a female, and not because I'm a looker. After all, I was wearing black athletic capris and a blue 1999 Youth Conference t-shirt. Yeah, I'm a total babe. Psh.

AGB Made the P So That I Can Talk to B!



Alexander Graham Bell is the man.

I love talking to Ben!

April Fools Day



Watched Tangled for the first time tonight. And I'm all tangled up in Ben...

...which reminds me of yesterday (April Fools Day).

While at work, my sister signed into my Facebook account and changed my relationship status from single to engaged. When I checked my phone before driving home for my lunch break, I had three text messages from curious friends alluding to an engagement. I was confused for 1.2 seconds, and then it occurred to me that someone must have played a little social network prank...and 0.3 seconds later I assumed it was my cunning sister.

I immediately got onto Facebook when I got home, and as you can imagine, I had a nice little nest of notifications. But by that time, my sister felt guilty for her crime, and changed my relationship status back to single.

But I couldn't leave it at that. I changed it to in a relationship, because that's where I'm at. Yes, I'm in a relationship, and that is no joke.

Happy day after April Fools Day!

Dam



As of today, I still have only sent my resume off for 15 positions, and I have heard back from three of them. One-fifth isn't too shabby, right? And there is one out of that three (one-third, or 33 percent for those of you who need a math brush-up) that appears decently promising. They want to see some of my writing samples (the job includes quite a bit of writing), and so I figure that nothing's better than showing off some of my blog posts. I glanced through some of my archived posts this evening, and think some are pretty worthy of sending in. But as a reader, do you have any that you think are ultra-impressive? Do you remember any that sparked your blog-reading interest? I'd love to hear about it. I'm also pretty sure I'll send some of my old college stuff--some artifacts that might up my chances of getting hired.

I'm so eager beaver to begin building my dam in Utah! And so, the hunt for wood (jobs) continues. Please, please, pretty please, give me any job leads. Even if you think it's not "Ashley," send it. I'm open to any opportunities.

Happy Friday!
