It's been a while.

Life has been so hectic! Here's what's been going on.

I graduated! Yay! It was stressful at the end, with some of the harder classes I was taking. But I passed everything, walked across the stage, got my degree, and now I'm done! Here's the pictures from graduation. No one actually got me walking across the stage. Apparently my dad, who was in charge of the video and the still photos, got distracted or something. Oh well.

I got married! Another big thing. It rained on the day of the wedding, which everyone says is "good luck," but I think people just say that to make you feel better about the fact that it rained. Other than the weather, everything turned out perfectly. We made bacon explosions for the wedding and they were a big hit. We only made two because of time constraints, and they disappeared within minutes! My parents also rented a chocolate fountain which was a big success as well. It was so yummy! For pictures from the wedding and the wedding shower, head over to either of these sites:

After the wedding, we went to the Salado inn and spent the night, since we weren't leaving for our honeymoon for a week. Click here for pictures from the inn.

That Sunday, we opened gifts and wrote thank-you cards. Then we headed up to Houston for the week before our cruise.

We left the following Sunday, May 24th on our cruise. The cruise stopped in Jamaica and Grand Cayman. It was supposed to also go to Cozumel, but the canceled that stop due to the swine flu. It was a blast, though. Brandon lost some money in the casino, I bought a beautiful necklace in Grand Cayman, we met other newlyweds, and we had lots of fun. I will post pictures to that probably next week after we show them off to our family. I haven't been home since the cruise, so I want to show them off in person before I post them online.

After the cruise, I've been on the job hunt. I've applied for a bunch of jobs, and only been called in for one interview. I think it went well, though, but I may not hear anything about it until August. Until then, I'm going to do some temp work for an employment agency hopefully while I wait for more chemistry and forensic science jobs to come open or until I hear back from the job I interviewed for.

I've been cooking and doing some cleaning. I made a roast chicken one night, and last night I made a pizza from scratch, the crust and the sauce! Tonight, I'm trying out an orange chicken recipe. I really like cooking.

I also finally finished Bitten. I posted the last chapter today, so go check it out!
