Summer Projects

With the school year behind us now (as well as school in general, hehehe) we have been busy with our summer projects. The first thing that we had to do it clean the whole apartment. We are both pack rats so this is always a challenge. It's hard for us to part ways with stuff, but sometimes you just gotta let some stuff go. We ended up bringing like 6 garbage bag and shopping bags full of clothes to a local thrift store. So now the apartment is generally clean. Our computer room is a disaster because now both Justin and my computers are down so they are torn apart and on the floor, now we just have the laptop.
My other project was to organize our wedding photos. All summer and fall after the wedding I was getting pictures from friends and relatives. The very first round of pictures I received I threw in a photo album so I could show to family and friends. After I got the album together I received combined, a 3 inch stack of photos. That is a lot of pictures.
So since yesterday I have been slowly pulling out sections of the albums and putting them all in order with the other pictures and taking out the similar pictures, ect. Just to give you another idea of how many pics we have, it has taken me the past two day, probably about 4 hours work, just to get through from the pre-ceremony pics to the end of the wedding and entering the limo with a grand total of 170 pictures. And that's with pictures weeded out. Tomorrow is the reception which is where most of the photos come from. Then I'll have to go out and try to find a wedding album that I like that will fit them all.
Another thing I have going on this summer is reading. I miss reading (for fun) so much. The school year just makes it impossible to get even a short story read. This summer I am reading a lot of books that are coming out as films. I have already finished the chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis for the movie The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the stories were great and it is a fun, quick read. I'm currently reading the complete set of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I will probably catch it at the dollar theater. I have to read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix again to remember what's going on so I'll be ready when Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince arrives. I don't remember when Goblet of Fire comes out to theaters but I'll have to reread that as well. I also want to read War of the Worlds, the preview looked sweet so that will be exciting to see.
Whew! Lots of reading to do, that will be fun.
In other news, Justin applied for a job outside of Las Vegas, has had a short phone interview and they are right now contacting his references. There are two NDSU Alums working there so I think that helps quite abit. Justin was told that he will be contacted next week, and hopefully with "some numbers." I would love to live down there. I have been to Las Vegas and thought it was great. I would move there in a heart beat.
