All things green

so this week, the Reynolds Center for Businenss Journalism is hosting a "covering the green economy" seminar. as a lucky intern, I will be covering most of the classes and events.

It should be interesting. I'm not opposed to being green, in fact I think to some extent it's very wise, saving energy=saving money, and I use re-usable grocery bags and water bottles and all that jazz. But I'm not buying into everything... we'll see how this week goes.

Threes

They say good things come in threes. Well, whoever "they" are, I think they're right!

First, I found out on Monday that the Goo Goo Dolls (my favorite band) are coming to Phoenix in August! I have missed them the past 3 times that they were here. But I bought tickets on Wednesday and Austin and I are going! I'm way excited. (just maybe not to see the funky hair)

Second, we have an apartment! We found out yesterday that we were accepted. It's a little place, one bed one bath, in a complex called Rancho Murrieta in Tempe. (Rural and Broadway) But it has a lot of closet space, a decent sized kitchen and an in-unit washer and dryer. It even has a little patio :)

I am not the greatest at using photobooth but here is a backwards shot of our apartment. It's cozy, but best of all it's OURS!!!

And third, the best news of all... Today is 7 weeks until the wedding! 49 days! We have been counting down and it feels soo good to get under 50 :) I can't wait!

Officially a slacker

Admittedly, blogging has not been high on my priority list since I started this new job.

I am interning full time 3 days a week at the Phoenix Business Journal and 2 days a week at the Reynolds Center for Business Journalism, a national center housed at ASU's downtown Cronkite school.

My time has been rationed in a completely different way. I'm doing the 9 to 5 thing everyday, but it turns into the 8 to 6 thing with travel time. But, although it's not quite what I thought it would be, it's not bad. I'm getting a lot out of it and I'm building good contacts who will hopefully help me get a job in a year.

On the wedding planning front, things are going well! We are working on collecting all our addresses right now. And I'm designing the invitation. It's almost finished.

Taking the pictures for the announcement was tons of fun! Here are some of my favorite shots:
