For those of you who do not know, I am applying for the TAP program at UNO. Basically the TAP program allows you to get your teacher's certificate in 12 months and also half the credits towards your masters. I took the PRAXIS PPST today and got great scores! I needed a 170/190 and got 183 and 188 on reading and math, respectively. The only score I am waiting for is the written portion. They have to grade that by hand so I will receive those scores in two weeks. I am sure I passed that portion, too. But we shall see. I am one step closer to gaining acceptance and finally becoming a high school biology teacher! :)
More later... the girls are coming over for dinner so I better start cooking!
Love, Mrs. Ross... to be!

Registering!
Hello All!
Just to let everyone know, Ken and I will be going to register today. We have chosen to register at Sears and Target. Sears, so Ken can get some tools, and Target because, well, everyone loves Target. I have heard it is so much fun to register so I am super excited! Ken should be coming to pick me up shortly.
Oh, and we went downtown yesterday to our florist and ordered all the flowers. We are using Garden Flowers in the Old Market. I thought they would be so expensive because of their location but they were actually very affordable. I will be carrying a hand-tied bouquet of all red roses and the bridesmaids will be carrying hand-tied bouquets of white roses. Beautiful! :)

Holy Crap!
We only have 4 months until our wedding!!! Wowzers! I am getting very excited and I get butterflies when I think about it. It is to the point where I just want it to be over.
I am going to start the fitting process for my dress soon. I want them to take the zipper out and make it a corset back. The only other alterations I need is the bustle. It is a pretty elaborate bustle so I can't wait to see what it looks like. I don't need the dress hemmed because I am wearing pretty decent size heels.
I will be starting to print the invitations next week. We just want to get everything squared away with the church, so we have the correct time on them. How horrible would it be if all the invitations had the wrong time!
Other than wedding stuff, I am counting down my days at my job. My last day working day will be April 24th. I have 9 vacation days so I will get paid through the beginning of May. That way I have a few weeks to get packed and do last minute wedding stuff.
I have sent in my application for the master's program I will hopefully be entering in May. I will be taking the entrance exam on the 27th. I talked to the program director and he seems optimistic about my chances. Female high school science teachers are in high demand so I will easily find a job after I graduate.
Besides that, Ken is doing well. He had from Christmas to January 12th off so he is trying to get back into the swing of things. He is looking forward to the wedding and, of course, the honeymoon :) We both love going to pre-marital counseling. Regina and Dennis are just awesome.
I hope everyone is staying warm. This frigid weather has got to go :)
