thanks for the nudge!
I have been gently reminded that I haven't posted in 50 weeks! Not as if much has changed---aside from getting engaged, planning an increasingly massive wedding and graduating law school.

Looking back, I see that I often write about the small things. It's the big things that I have trouble summing up in words. Rather than look backwards (unless you are really interested in the proposal story--I strive not to be one of those girls to give more sappy information than anyone wants), I will discuss the future.

I just finished a week of one bar study course and am about to start the serious one (barbri) on Tuesday. So far I've learned that I wasted 3 years of my life learning details for a test that does not require much detail. And although I've been told that approximately 75% of people pass the Bar (90% of my school last time), that does not bring my comfort. If I pass, it won't seem like much of an accomplishment (given the caliber of some of my classmates). If I fail, I may have to be institutionalized. So, really, it's a win-win.

After the dreaded Bar, there is the wedding. About 85 days from now. Don't get me wrong, I am very much looking forward to marrying Travis. I am not, however, looking forward to the wedding. Every day it becomes more apparent that this day is not about Travis and my eternal commitment. It's about centerpieces and invitation wording.

Any advice, married people? Things you liked/didn't like about your wedding? Things you would have done differently?

Off for a run with the pup. She is my new fitness coach. Because weddings are also about looking your best, right? :)
