It's been a very long time since I updated last. Since my last post I finished my first semester at FGCU (and drove myself crazy in the process), booked the photographer for the wedding and bought my dress, had a couple biopsies (don't ask), ruptured my ear canal (again), read the entire Harry Potter series, and both gave and received some pretty cool Christmas gifts. The most important goings on, however, are as follows:
My final project for University Colloquium was to design a "green home" for the Babcock Development Project in Charlotte and Lee counties. My group and I worked really hard and put a lot of time in the project. Rather than design a floor plan from the ground up like most of the other groups we took a plan out of a Small Homes book and retrofitted it to conform to the Florida Green Building Coalition standards. My friend Samantha and I went a little overboard making sure every tiniest detail matched our mental picture of what our "dream home" should look like, while the two boys kinda just watched us with bemused expressions. In truth, we created a lot more work for ourselves than was necessary, but it paid off in the end: At the conclusion of our class presentation our group was asked to present our home to the Babcock developers. That presentation will take place this month and, should they choose our design, the BDP will actually build our home.
I also had a brief visit to Leah the day after Christmas while she was in Jupiter, completed my registries at Crate & Barrel and Bed, Bath & Beyond and endured the suspected drugging of my drink on New Year's Eve (I didn't drink it though, James did, lol).
The Spring semester begins on January 7th and I'm sad to say I have a really jacked up schedule in store for me. On the upside, after this semester I'll only have four classes left to take before I graduate. Additionally, the only things left to do for the wedding are buying the bridesmaid and flowergirl dresses, renting the limo, booking the hotels and mailing out the invitations. And the actually ceremony, of course.
All in all, should prove to be a very busy, and very productive, four months.

I am so scared... The closer we get to our wedding means the closer I get to leaving. I haven't told you yet, but I'm really scared. I am not scared of the wedding just everything that follows the 12th of May. We will be apart for 4 1/2 months. Some exciting news though is that I heard I will be covering the Intel for South America and that the deployments will be more of a vacation for me. Maybe I can sneak you on board the top secret jet with me?
