Yes, that is a sigh of relief. This month has been brutal. March was fantastic! Wedding, honeymoon, work was fairly stable...but now...eh, not so much.
I'm not sure the industry I work in is going in the right direction. Many folks are cutting back on the non-essentials in life, and I'm guessing sports memberships could be considered a non-essential. (Try telling your Red Sox obsessed husband that baseball isn't essential and you'll get a different answer) But that is just it! Husband will sit at home and watch it on TV (instead of driving the three miles to the baseball park) while working. In fact the baseball field is getting so desperate for fans to come to the games that they are throwing around the option of letting them take in their own food. A baseball game with homemade chow will save you at least $50.00. Take away the two Diamond dogs, a plate of nachos, 4 12 oz. beers and some water for the drive home in the heat...you probably have enough saved to purchase enough food for a week of meals.
People aren't getting enough playtime now. We took too much during the boom years and now we are resorting to working 90 hours a week because we feel there really isn't any room to screw up or slack off because you don't know when it is going to land you in the unemployment line. I am officially refusing to play this game.
I am going to work, yes, but I am going to play too, and I am going to officially stop sweating the small stuff. (Good thing I have those crazy pills) I really dislike the person I have become...all tight laced and such. Starting this month is sloshball...this is the first time I will have participated, but it's like kickball with beer in hand and kegs on bases. Then I'm going to play flag football. It never hurts to meet a lot of people - both for networking and friendship. Apparently husband and I only carry on long-distance friendships and really haven't ventured out much.
We'll see...

Mrs. Fuller!
I can't believe it has come and gone! Husband and I had quite the amazing and stressful past two weeks. (okay stressful first week, relaxing second week with a stressful ending) As everyone is aware, we were married on March 20th. The wedding turned out flawless and everything was just wonderful - except I forgot that it was Lent and mistakenly neglected to put fish on the dinner menu for my Friday wedding...whoops. For those of you who are interested in seeing the pictures let me know at kris.cuneo@gmail.com and I will forward you the website url.
Jamaica was fantastic! The airport was a little crazy, but what airport isn't when you are jumping out of your pants to get to the beach for a little R and R. The ocean was as blue as could be and the husband and I enjoyed at trip zip-lining through the trees and kayaking down the Grand River just south of Montego Bay. Fortunately for us, we were the only two on the tour, so we and our guides had a lot of fun telling obscene jokes and taking pictures. (I will post a few on the blog when I get them all in order).
The way home from Jamaica was another story. We had a few minute delay leaving Montego Bay and then got stuck with "mechanical problems" in Miami. I was quite tired and ready to go home, so sitting on the tarmac for an hour and 45 minutes was quite trying. Not to mention, an hour outside of Phoenix, there was a medical emergency on the flight and we had to sit in place on the plane once we landed and wait for the paramedics to help the person off the flight. I completely understand having to wait, but we were already traveling for about 12 hours.
Next day, we were running errands when we notice that our car (the one left at the condo) had been broken in to while we were gone and all insurance information and adapters had been taken...Not too bad considering, but I hate the thought of scummy people sifting through my personal belongings. All in all, the last two weeks flew by and were, for the most part, very exciting and fun! Perfection is boring, right?
Pictures to come!

T-minus 9 days
Well we are past the double digit benchmark of this 15 month journey. Fiance and I have been engaged since December 9, 2007. I never thought it would get to this point; we have 9 days left before we are officially Mr. and Mrs. Company begins to arrive this coming Sunday, which means T-4 days to make sure my house is clean, T-4 days to make sure my dogs are clean, T-3 days to get all the goodies together for the hotel rooms, and T-2 days to finish all the work I have left for school. Someone didn't plan this very well.
Fiance and I had a very productive week so far. Final head count has been given to the caterer and cake lady, photographs are planned out - down to the last detail, all gifts have been purchased for all those who have made this so much less painful than it should have been, and I we are still planning on getting married next Friday. You can't ask for much more. I am down to tomorrow and Friday left of work for, let's count them...16 Days, and just 11 days from the beautiful Caribbean beaches of Jamaica. Bring on the Rum...(Damn, I wish I enjoyed Rum even a little bit). Starting Friday night - well, maybe Saturday, I fully plan on documenting all days in pictures...as best I can for the Wedding Week festivities.
