Babies and Weddings

I can’t believe that July is almost over. Where did the time go? It seems like only yesterday I was freaking out about a silly communication study! This weekend is my eldest cousin’s baby shower. This will be the first great-grandbaby for our family. It’s kind of weird. Not that my cousin is having a baby, but weird that she is old enough to be having a baby. Heck, it’s weird that my other cousin is getting married in only a couple more weeks! Anyhow, here is what I picked out for the baby:

It’s a little sea horse that plays lullabies and glows. The package says it will help the baby fall asleep. I thought it was really cute and it reminds me of my glow bug that I had when I was little. I am so tempted to keep if for myself! It’s so soft and adorable!

Speaking of family affairs, I have purchased two dresses and two pairs of shoes for my cousins wedding. Here’s dress one that I bought around Christmas time:

Here’s dress two that I bought just a few weeks ago:

Here’s the first pair of shoes I bought:

Here’s the second:

I have no idea what to wear! I was planning on wearing dress two and shoes two until today when I pulled dress number one out of the closet. Any advice? The wedding is a summer wedding (Aug 9th) in a church with the reception indoors and a kind of fancy dining hall. I kind of like dress two the most because it seems a little retro to me (1950ish) and it has a built in bra which is a plus. But dress one is cute! I don’t know what to do!

Anyhow, I promised an update one day last week about other stuff which now doesn’t seem very important. I did have a job interview last Thursday and it went really well, but I haven’t heard back from them yet, so I am not sure what to think about it. They did mention that they had 3 other people to interview so I am sure they will contact me once they have interviewed everyone. I am still not entirely sure this is the job I want, but the town is really cute, and it is only 1.5 hours away from Chicago AND it is on Lake Michigan. If I am offered the job I will take it, lease a cute apartment and make myself try it for one year. Wow, this grown up talk is scaring me!

p.s I just broke my zip drive, does anybody know if they can be repaired?
