Job Hunt 2

So today was a very good day for the job hunt. I had a phone interview with Spectrum Hospital which I was offered a second interview for tomorrow. Ryan and I were walking into the mall to do some shopping for the honeymoon and I got a call from Holland Hospital. I was offered the position and need to make a decision by Monday!! I need to talk to my managers tomorrow during my interview and I think I owe it to my boss to talk to him about it before I accept the job. Ryan and I are both super excited and it's starting to feel like things are falling in place! Tomorrow is my last day of my internship! I am very excited it has been a very long 21 weeks and I am glad to have it done!

Single Digits!

We have reached single digits until the wedding! I just can't believe the wedding is only 9 days! We are both getting super excited! We do have a lot of projects to get done but after Friday I am done with work until the wedding so I can put all my effort in finishing everything up!

Cake

Two Sunday's ago we went and talk to the cake baker! We had to pick all of our favors and just make sure we are all set with the cake. We are having the following designs:

Now the cakes that we have will not be green! They will be white with either light blue or navy blue trim like the top cake on top of the 3-tier. We needed more cake and she thought that this would be better than sheet cake and it serves as a bigger decoration which I greatly appreciated!
We also got to pick the flavors for all the layers! We had a very good time with this!! We have some many different flavors to choose from and we picked alot of them! We wanted variety! We are having:
Funfetti
Cherry Chip
Banana
Chocolate
White
Marble
Strawberry
Mmm! Cake! I love cake!

Wedding Menu!

I talked to the caterer on Monday! She is cooking for 600 people! I am glad that I just have to show up and eat because that has to be a ton of work!

Here is the menu:
Chicken
Meatballs
Potatoes/Gravy
Buttered Noodles
Sauerkraut and Polish Sausage
Baked Beans
Green Beans
Salad
Cinnamon and White Bread


Ryan and I are very excited about the menu! It's like most of our favorite foods in one sitting!

Job Hunt

My internship is complete next Friday! I am very excited to have this part of my life done! I can't believe that I have been there for 20 weeks already. I learned so much and I have met some amazing people. It is going to be extremely hard for me to walk out that door next Friday.

Now that my internship is ending, I have been on the job hunt. I went to an interview Monday with Holland Hospital. It lasted for 2 hours and the department actually has two job postings right now so I had one interview for both jobs which was nice.

I had a dicussion with my boss today and they have an open position that they are hoping I will fill it. It is company policy that they must interview all applicants that meet requirements and if there is a better candidate then I will not get the job offering so I am hoping no one else will apply! Selfish but hey I worked for free for 21 weeks, a little break would be nice.

I should know within the week if I get a second interview with Holland Hospital so hopefully I get the call back! I will keep everyone updated on how the hunt is going!

Gifts!

Today we went to build-a-bear workshop to make Summer for Mackensie. We had a lot of fun making, we hope that Mackensie has just as much fun playing with her. Ryan and I went back and forth on what animal to get for her but we finally decided on the turtle! Mackensie has a lot of allergies so we were going to get her the asthma approved bear, but it was ugly. So we asked the girl what was the next best one and she said the turtle is made out of the same material so we got the turtle!! We also went to Things Remembered and ordered gifts for our parents. All we have left to get is a gift for Jessica and Mike and we have to go to Toysrus to finish Justin's present. The groomsmen gifts were delivered today and they turned out awesome and the bridesmaids gifts should be here tomorrow. We are starting to really check things off the to-do list and I am startin to feel like we can get everything done!
