Hoping to put this piece of paper to work

This very expensive piece of paper is supposed to get me a job. I'm still waiting. I'm very impatient considering I have only been out of school for a month. These past few days I've been surfing the web, throwing my resume all over the place. It feels pretty good to get my resume out there. My fingers are crossed. The only discouraging thing I found while job hunting was the fact that most employers require at least two to three years experience, even five years sometimes. that's wonderful, I've got none. So explain this to me, I can't get a job without my piece of paper, but I need experience. Help! I need to keep my head high, there's a job out there for me. We've all got to start somewhere right? Oh and in other "big" news, I'm no longer a Michigan resident (sorry) i surrendered to Ohio today :( I'm now legally an Ohio citizen and if you should know, I'm a legal voter in this state, go me! I'm not planning on keeping this license for long, I'm planning on getting my Michigan License back. I'm dreaming of the day where I can hold that beautiful card in my hands, smiling into and seeing the Mighty Mac. Until then, I guess I'll have to stare at my ugly Ohio one, a distasteful red card, with the awful state line printed on the background. Oh well, at least I can drive, right?

Until then,
Jenna

Company

Jenny drove down last night for the weekend. It's fun playing hostess :) The visit also helped to motivate Dave and I to finish cleaning the apartment. Last night I made dinner, chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, and corn...delicious! We spent the night visiting and we popped in a movie..only after begging Dave to turn off his obnoxious game of Zombies. Today we have been hanging around the apartment and slowly getting ready. The plan for today is to hit up a couple of flea markets, maybe we'll snag some good loot. The sky is blue and it's starting to warm up outside...it's about time! The past few days it's been raining like cat's and dogs, so I'm ready to have some fun outside. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Mrs. Lassila

From now on, please refer to my as Mrs. Jenna Lassila. Only joking, but in all seriousness, that is my new last name. Crazy! Dave and I are back in Ohio now, and we're in the process of getting all moved in. I wish I would have taken a picture because our apartment was filled with gifts, luggage, and boxes. Honestly, we could have been on an episode of hoarders..it was that bad. After working hard ( lol, not really) for two days, we are now able to walk around with out getting lost, and i know longer have to follow a trail. it's nice. it feels like home. Yesterday we were overwhelmed though, we went out to dinner since the kitchen was that bad. Tonight I made dinner though. Spaghetti! Now, i'm topping the evening off by making a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies..yum. Married life is good. The past few days we've been running around town, picking up groceries and little odds and ends that we didn't have. Seriously, I was in Meijer's and Target twice yesterday! Tomorrow my goal is to stay far away from those places. I have bigger plans for tomorrow. I think it's necessary to legally change my name on my social security card and drivers license...I don't know about you, but I think it's a good one. Well that's all for now. I'm going to finish my cookies and watch a movie with my hubby. Wedding/honeymoon pictures to follow!
Have a great evening.

Jenna. Jenna Lassila. :)

Four. I can count that on one hand. four.

I seriously can not believe that in a matter of four short days, I'll be getting married. My stomach is turning....in a good way of course! I don't know where they time has gone by. I was telling Dave the other day how fast these past eight months have gone by. We both have a countdown on our phones, and I remember putting in on there after we were engaged, when we first started there were over 200 days. Now, just a short four.

Last Friday was my last day at work. bitter sweet. It's so nice to have this week off before the wedding to get things done. For the most part, I'm done. My mom and I have been running around town, picking up plates, bubbles, guest book, etc.. all the little stuff i overlooked. it's been fun, hanging out with the family and friends, enjoying these next few days.

The countdown is on. family will be flocking in from several states for the wedding. I'm so excited to see everybody! tomorrow night is my last good night of sleep. Thursday that bridesmaids and I are staying in a hotel and doing dinner and pedicures. Friday morning, we'll all be at the church bright and early to decorate and set up. Friday evening will lead us to the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, followed by the bach party. Saturday we're all getting ready at my parents house while the boys are golfing. I'm paranoid the guys will look tired in the pictures...let's hope not. Pictures are planned to be taken at the governor's mansion in Farmington, and then back to the church for indoor pictures.

I'm looking forward to the end of the week when all the festivities start, but until then, I'm enjoying my time at home with my family and friends.
