I'm a Big Kid Now

I just got back from a quick trip to Orlando with Chase and my mom.  We took a trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the other Universal attractions, and even saw Mario Lopez.  I would say it was a success.  Here are some pictures.

The Sorting Hat- can you tell which of us wore sunscreen?

We went on every ride in both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure!
Immediately after arriving back home I headed downtown to attend the National Association of Campus Activities conference committee meeting.  I was the graduate intern, so obviously a crucial part :)  The conference was great, I learned a lot.  I also made some new friends and was able (due to some illnesses and emergencies) to run all of registration on my own on the second day of the conference.  I also presented an educational session about communication styles.  I would say that was a success (people asked me to send them my presentation!)

Josh and I also started our pre-marital counseling this weekend.  We each had to fill out an online questionnaire which we will discuss with our pastor over the next few months.  I didn't think I was nervous about it until it started, but time will tell how it goes :)  We are currently working on vows, readings, and songs.  We have it narrowed down but nothing is official yet.

My current task is re-focusing on school (I have been slacking a bit lately) and figuring out my hair and makeup.  All of my life is making me feel a bit old.  I think up until this point (since I have still been in school and living on a college campus), I have been able to ignore the fact that I am slowly but surely starting my adult life.  Having a leadership role at 3 different professional conferences and planning to logistics of my wedding and marriage have really forced me to own up to this fact.  I am really looking forward to a good weekend and seeing everyone!

89 DAYS!
