No luck, I’m sure the competition was stiff!

Cross your fingers for me! I have applied for a fellowship as an Emerging Museum Professional to attend the Annual Meeting, which is a long weekend museum symposium! as the biggest museum dork ever I am really excited about this. It is a longshot that I will get the fellowship because undergraduates don’t usually apply. here is a list of some of the seminars I want to attend:

The Wedding is quickly approaching! just six weeks! I am so exited!

Details:

March 21, 2009 at the Lee House Pensacola 400 Bayfront Parkway Pensacola, FL 32502

the ceremony will be held  in the Alcaniz courtyard at please be here by 6pm.

reception will follow immediately afterwards.

We are registered at Crate & Barrel and Target

if you are from out of town, stay at either the Crowne Plaza,  Courtyard Marriot or Sole. The Crowne is walking distance from the wedding, I don’t have a block of rooms set up because they weren’t giving me a better rate than you can get online which should be about $139. Sole is a little farther but I still think its walking distance.  the Pensacola Regional Airport is about 15 min. from downtown you should be able to get an airport shuttle if you aren’t renting a car.
