Quick Update: Rugby, weddings, and getting smart

Hello September. Goodbye September. This month has been going so quickly! Between rugby, wedding planning, work and class it seems like I blinked and summer suddenly disappeared.

I'm loving being a student again. Before I apply to law school, I decided to take a "warm up class". I'm auditing a philosophy class at Trinity with one of my favorite professors. It's rather strange being back in class with college students... you wouldn't think that two years would make much of a difference, but they seem so young! And timid! Most of the kids in the class are very quiet. I'm not sure if it is because of the size of the class (30 is HUGE for a philosophy course) or whether it is because the professor is sort of intimidating (she's really not - but she's very passionate and that scares people sometimes), but the discussions usually start very slowly and it takes the students a while to get into it. But I'm enjoying watching them learn. I definitely think I'm on the right track with a career in academia.

Steve's EMT class has started and he is supposed to be hearing from the Simsbury Volunteer Fire Department soon. We're hoping to get a place in Simsbury once he gets a position with them.

Rugby is going well for both Trinity and the Roses. The Roses brought home a big W this weekend against Burlington (we REALLY needed that) and Trinity's team gets stronger every week.

Wedding planning is up and going again after a brief hiatus. We've decided on a color pallette and I think I've found THE dress. Now to get fitted... and hopefully it will look good on me!I've been working very hard at the gym, and even though I haven't lost pounds (rugby muscle!) I seem to have lost inches. Feeling pretty good overall.

Right now, we're working on designing and sending out Save the Date postcards. Hopefully those will go out by mid to late October. Official inviations will be sent out by Thanksgiving (I hope!)

That's all for now... more when I get a chance to breathe!
