drama

*sigh* so I'll be glad when the wedding is over and I can be a normal person again. :)

I picked up my dress last Friday and it fit and I love it... except the sleeves were a little bit too tight... so I got it home and tried it on... and yeah, they were really tight. So then we had to decide if I should just tough it out or have her redo them, um... yeah... so I got it back yesterday. And the sleeves are perfect now! yay!

The ring stand I borrowed from work for Amber to play with that fit the vases perfectly turned out to be .25 inches different than the ones I'm borrowing from the High School for the reception... aaaahhhh. Three deep breaths. We can always just put open hymn books on the tables right?

SERIOUSLY though, I'll be so glad to not have to think about such inconsequential details....

anyway. I'm getting off work early today. Yay! random side note: I'll have worked at the lab for 1 year on Monday. :)
Blessings.

Raindrops keep falling on my head

I hate moving. ugh. It's just not any fun, especially when you can't take everything at once. I just know I'm going to want to wear something that I've already moved. :) And that would be the end of the world... haha.

We have 13 boxes of books and two bookshelves. um... yeah... we're both bibliophiles. Which I love. I'm excited to read all of his books when I have time!

Just a few more loose ends to tie up... and 6 more days... craziness. :)

Blessings.

april showers

bring may flowers, what do mayflowers bring? Pilgrims! haha. such a good joke. :D

I'm officially done with showers now! Yay! I mean... bummer.... er...um... yeah. Tuesday was a busy day, we had dress fittings and my personal shower. Dress fittings went ok. My dress wasn't quite done yet (I'm not freaking out, I'm not freaking out) so I'm picking it up later this week. I still like it, the girls still look cute, so it's all good. :)

It was really good to hang out with some of my favorite girls... they made some great food and we got to watch Pride and Prejudice, which I love. I stayed out too late though. O well, some things must needs be. :)

My flowers are surviving... although they have been sorely neglected and not all of them came up. Hopefully a few of them will live long enough to plant outside.

10 days!

loose ends

So our Easter weekend was good. I had to work Good Friday and Bob didn't.... I guess that's what I get for working for the heathen government. :) At least it was rainy all day so I didn't feel bad about being stuck inside.

Saturday we got a lot of stuff done at our duplex. Matt and I brought a load of my stuff (mostly books) down and then he went to work adding an outlet in our bathroom. The medicine cabinet that was there looks like it was original to the house... recessed and complete with florescent lights on the side. The only outlet in the bathroom was on the cabinet, so somebody plugged in a power strip and tacked it to the wall. um... lovely. So we pulled it all out and got a nicer, surface mount one at Menards (my favorite store). But that left us with no outlet in the bathroom, which is where Matt came in. :) Apparently there were more studs than expected in the wall in weird places because it required two holes in the drywall and drilling through a stud. And the bit might have slipped and put a nice hole in the stairway. oops. But we got a new outlet and the bathroom looks ten times better. :)

Dad and Mom came in the afternoon and dad fixed the hole in the wall, hung the medicine cabinet, replaced a pane of glass... and complained about how he's already turning into grandpa w. and doing all our odd jobs. haha. Our Moms and sprout washed all of our dishes and shower gifts and put them in my cupboards- yay! And Bob and his Dad went and bought a washer, dryer, and freezer. So our house is pretty much livable now, hooray for them! I should take pictures sometime with the digital camera I don't have. :)

We were in Washington on Sunday for Easter and then my aunt's house for supper.... I was super tired all day. And I really haven't felt like waking up the last two mornings since it's been so rainy and damp. *sigh*

Blessings.

12 days.

lists

So I had a list of things on my dresser that I needed to get at Menards and Walmart... Jakey so kindly added a few... apparently we are in dire need of tarp straps and hogsheads.

I'm going to miss living with Jakey.

Two showers down, two to go. woot.

17 days.

the time flies on...

Or something. So we made it through week one of something every night, on to week two. woot woot.

It hasn't been too bad... although being so busy just makes me tired. Our church shower was good, now I just have to figure out where to put all that stuff! And write thank you notes. *sigh* I haven't written so much since school... plus I'm really bad at sounding sincere- I am really grateful, and I try really hard to not sound cheesy... but I don't think I'm very successful. O well.

Bob's birthday was Wednesday, so now he's older than me. *grin* Which I love. I was sadly remiss and didn't even have time to bake a pie or anything. Maybe next year.

We got to hang out with Luke and Heidi and Greg and Mary and Max on Friday... good times.

The painting is all done at the duplex. Yay! Thanks to Amy, since I was helping her in the kitchen, and then I would get distracted by my family moving furniture in... and other random things so she mostly finished it. And Shelly who has become such a good closet painter she's thinking about doing it professionally. Ha! I think we have most of the furniture we'll need figured out. Which is great. Now I just need to go through all of my stuff at home and probably get rid of half of it... right.

We went to communion in Washington Saturday night. My last one as an official Washington sista. *tear* And I sat by Shelly and we didn't get the giggles! Which is a first.

I am not excited by the snow.
Blessings.

20 days.
