This summer... not exactly my favorite thus far. As I'm sure most of you know, jobs are somewhat scarce. Speaking of, Brigid- we need to write me a resume. So due to economic stresses, I've been working for Justin's friend Jimmy, cleaning the State Theater downtown. Cleaning isn't a bad job, and I'm generally of the opinion that even menial jobs are a service to someone and therefore worthwhile. However, having been doing cleaning jobs consistently ever since I've started working over the past few years, I have to say that I really need to find another area of expertise. Janitorial does not really look impressive on a resume for somebody interested in a teaching position; it doesn't provide me with a mental challenge on a day-to-day basis; and really, it won't provide me with enough of an income to provide me with financial stability. So I guess what I'm saying is- I need another job. Any ideas?
Other than that, things have been going fairly normally. I've got a few projects I'm working on, like a book I'm slowly but surely writing, some artwork for Socceresque, the perpetual room-cleaning, looking into my senior Thesis, and of course wedding plans. So I'm managing to keep pretty busy, even with work only going on twice a week.
The wedding is set for June 16, 2007 at Christ the King in Ann Arbor. Feel free to come, although Justin and I hope you understand that we'd love everybody's company at the ceremony and reception, but we can't afford to feed anybody. I think our rule is going to be "drop in for some dancing and good company, but don't expect to get food or a seat at a table if you didn't RSVP." We also just started our marriage prep meetings with our sponsor couple, and the other classes are in the works. We'll keep you updated.
Also- Justin and I just got a cell phone plan together- so I'm actually accessible now. Weee. Although I must say I'm not much of a phone person anyway, so don't expect too many changes in that regard. :-) But call me if you want to make any plans.
Hope this satisfies the need for an update, and keep in touch everybody!

First of all the lego bride and groom should be at the wedding somewhere...I'm not going to suggest the tip of the cake. But otherwise I know the feeling of finacle woos [sp?]. But anywho, life goes on and God is in control.
what's up with jobs? you guys should come to philly (see www.havliahs.blogspot.com), there are plenty of jobs here-- in fact, this summer I'm working two jobs (60hrs a week) and had to turn down two jobs (only slightly lesser paying and hours) at the beginning of the summer. If only there were someone I could foist them onto!
