Mr. Peaches and I decided to order our wedding bands, which are costing us a pretty penny (but we decided we would rather spend the money on something we would be wearing daily forever than on bills or even a wedding). We are purchasing them from a couple we found online who makes jewelry and specializes in wedding bands like these:
That's a fingerprint you see there- my band will have Mr. Peaches's fingerprint and vice versa. If you are interested in learning more about the artists or their jewelry, be sure to ask- or wait for me to pay mine off when I'll post a link to their online store.
Yesterday I made our very first appointment to meet with someone and scout out their venue. It is August 4. While I'm reasonably sure we will not be celebrating our wedding there, it will be nice to "practice" and ask questions and start to learn how to navigate The Wedding Game. Gulp.
The First Venue
On the teachy front, I received my orientation information and I got even more excited about teaching next month. There are three and a half days of events, which I (mistakenly?) believe will be very beneficial to the beginning of my school year. There is a seminar on de-escalation, student violence, maintaining teaching credentials, and a full afternoon meeting with my department about the curriculum (!!!).
Today I learned about my textbook, including the title and found out there are supplemental plans and curriculum maps for the sixth and seventh grades. Holy excitement, Batman! I get to pick them up next Thursday and meet the woman who is (I guess?) in charge of the curriculum for the Spanish/World Languages Department with my City Schools.
Mr. Peaches even received his Law School schedule this week (!!).
Then my friend Miss Mae came over and we talked for hours and hours. It felt good to chew on life and be "girly" with someone in person. Miss Mae is also beginning her first year of teaching next month and she just got married last year, so there was a lot to chew.
As I said on my facebook status today, "There is so much awesomeness right now my head might explode."
Here's to awesomeness.
