it's been a crazy 2 months

So, in the past 2 months I've:

• got my own apartment
• got engaged!
• went to FL/Disney
• accepted a full-time position at HPW
• started working part-time a couple nights a week for another consulting firm that mostly helps corporations plan their charitable giving campaigns and develop corporate social responsibility (the woman works like 12+ hour days)

On August 1, I moved into a beautiful, spacious 2 bedroom apartment a mile from where I work. It's pet friendly so Chloe can come visit :)
Dad took a couple pictures here.

We moved all of Michelle's stuff and my stuff out in the middle of the month. Following a semi-disasterous/incredibly frustrating moving day (don't ever use Budget for a moving truck) Marshall decided that, despite me having a melt-down, he still wanted to put up with me forever, and asked me to marry him :) 

A few days later, we headed to Florida. We spent a couple days with Grammie and Jim relaxing by the pool and reading a bridal magazine in the shade in the golf cart...everyone else actually played golf ;)  Next we met the rest of the family at Disney where we were forced to wear "Just Engaged" pins the entire time. Michelle and Renato got me Minnie ears with a veil, so we got Marshall matching tux Mickey ears. Disney was lots of fun (and about a million miles of walking).

Finally, last week I got offered a full-time position at HPW, which I accepted. I'm so happy about that. I'll be nice to finally have a set schedule and a salary! I had been pursing a possible job as an assistant to a woman my professor recommended who owns a consulting firm and knows just about everyone worth knowing in Pittsburgh. That didn't quite work out as hoped for, but I am working a couple nights a week for her since she works about 70 hours a week.

Well, that's about all the exciting news for now :)

Hope everyone is well!
