Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

All good things....

Are worth waiting for!!!

I'm happy to announce that I've passed the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam that I took in April. I am now Julie Meloy, E.I.T. YAY!

I'm so very excited. It was a hard test, 8 hours of one pencil, keep you head down, calculator at the ready stress. They wouldn't even let me have a purse or bag. Everything had to be kept in a clear plastic bag. More security there than at the airport. At least you know that your engineers are competent. :)

Steven's taking me out to dinner to celebrate. I'm really looking forward to it. I spent four months studying for that. What a great sense of accomplishment, and a nice day today too!

Happily Yours, Jewels

Wedding Website!

I made a wedding website!

You can visit it at

http://meloyandstanley.weddings.com/

There will be information on registery, hotels, directions to the site and much more. Currently you can read about how we met and how we got engaged and see some pictures. I have yet to upload an album, but I will do so eventually.

Currently, we are busy looking over menus, color schemes, making save the date annoucements, deciding on china patterns, dress shopping, getting ready to register and to go on vacation! Whew! The time is flying by....

I feel the need to post...

I don't really have anything to post about, but I felt the need to post.

Some Random Happenings:

1. Steven and I, on seperate occasions, glanced over some china patterns. Turns out we picked the same one, and its available at Costco! Yay!

2. Got together the supplies to make some engagement announcements/save the dates. Expect those as soon as I figure out how to print the vellum four to a page!

3. Slowly taking over our living room with Bridal Magazines. I'd love to start dress shopping. Any good suggestions for boutques/stores to look at?

4. Steven turns 23 on Wednesday June 13, 2007. He's so old! :)

This is from our get together with Lindsey and Jesse at Edgefield! Added 7/2/07

5. Still have yet to select some wedding colors.

6. Summer weather is here. Thank Goodness for air conditioning.

I think that's about all I have for right now...I can't stop looking outside. My sunshine is gone (for now at least).
