i started an internship this week. I'm working as an intern at my Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP, the law firm where my dad is an attorney. i'm interning for the Marketing Director of the firm, Kelly Beauchamp. She does all the marketing, advertising, and pr for the firm and she is great. I've been working steady 8-5 everyday and i even have my own office overlooking State Street. It's been really fun because i get to dress up every day in my heels and pencil skirts and blazers and blouses and all that great stuff. While i might look the part, let me tell you i do not act the part. I am out of my element! My clumsiness never fails me and i am constantly tripping and running into things in the office while everyone else is a PRO. i've probably deleted a million files that i didn't mean to and dropped 1000 pens on the ground and wasted about 6 trees of paper... At least it's only my third day and they haven't fired me yet...
Last night... Suzanne Stockman and Gloria Mylroie (our best best best family friends) threw me a bridal shower! The turn out was great and i even got to see one of my very best friends from high school, Sandra. It was so nice to have such wonderful ladies there to support me and celebrate with me. :)
The shower was lovely. We played a game where Suzanne asked Christian some questions, he sent back answers to them, and then i had to answer the same questions and see how our answers compared. I swear we were meant for each other. 75% of our answers were word-for-word the same and the ones that weren't, were pretty close. The ladies at the shower were enamored with Christian and kept asking if he had a twin brother. I'm pretty lucky :)
I got great gifts that i am so excited about and i cannot wait for me and Chin to have a little home of our own so we can start using all of our cool new things! They had yummy food at the shower and lots of good company and i was beaming the whole night.
Probably my favorite part of the shower was the advice that everyone gave me. Everytime i opened a gift, the person whom the gift was from gave me a piece of advice for marriage...
