Feeling good

I am liking my new job so far. It's really not that hard. I just call people and set up appointments for them to donate blood. My supervisor says that I am doing very well so far, which makes me happy. It feels good to go to work on a regular basis...

As you can see, me and Aaron got our engagement pictures taken. Our friend Shyla took them, and she is going to also photograph our wedding. Talk about saving money there!

This weekend Aaron and I are going to Worthington. We are going to go to Iowa to my Aunt Joyce's greenhouse and pick out our flowers and have another meeting with the pastor. It's amazing just how quickly the wedding is coming up...
