And it's about time. Since Monday, I've thought it should be Friday. I don't think I even remember Monday at this point, it was just such a long week!!
That's not to say that it wasn't a productive week. I made trips to both Hobby Lobby and Wal-Mart and got all kinds of wedding goodies. Our massive quantities of paper that we ordered for all kinds of projects arrived yesterday. Aaron and I got to have dinner together and hang out 2 nights this week and we managed to catch some sales at the mall last night and got new work clothes. My wonderful fiance also encouraged me to get a new dress for the wedding we're attending tomorrow and I feel absoutely beautiful in it.
And now to celebrate that it's Friday, in addition to the ice cream I ate at work, I'm going to have a girls night out.

One down!!
I officially have a wedding related project done. By done, I mean I don't have to touch it again until our wedding!! A special thanks goes out to my future mother-in-law for helping me get it finished.
And right now, I just want to bask in the glory of having something completely finished, so I'm not even going to think about how many projects we have left to do!!

Their first dance.
The little man and I dancing. (It was late in the evening and he just couldn't take the dress clothes anymore!!)
I won at Boggle!!
I won at Boggle against Aaron!! His family has refused to ever play Boggle with him again, because he is so freakin' good. I won though!! Now, to be fair, I did lose the first 3 games, but I won the 4th!! Yay me!!

I'm so lost!!
I feel completely lost today!! I worked at the daycare this morning from 7-9. As I walked out to the car at 9 I was searching in my purse to find my phone so I could call Aaron. But it wasn't there!! Apparently in my still half asleep scramble to get out of the house at 6:30 this morning I forgot to grab it.
Now I'll have to survive all day long with no phone!! What if someone important tries to call me and I miss it?!? If anyone ever invents a time machine, I hope I don't get sent back to the time of no cell phones. I don't know how I'd make it!!

Bridezilla
Wow!! I am watching a show called "Bridezilla" right now and all I can say is WOW!! Here are a few quotes:
We were originally planning on a budget of about $75,000 but now we're closer to $100,000.
What?!? That's more than out house cost!!
Uhh, excuse me!! Don't you know you're not supposed to touch a woman's engagement ring?!? NEVER touch it again!!
Where did that rule come from?!?
I don't want my girls in front of me. Oh no, I DON'T want that!!....I'm just very nit-picky. I know about photography so I know what I'm looking for.
You have 5 days until your wedding, maybe you should just pick a photographer!!
For the next 132 days, I hope to be absolutely nothing like these ladies!!

It's done!!
The fence is done!! The boys love it. They wouldn't even come in the house earlier, they were just sitting there, enjoying it. "We've done inside. We're trying out the outside now. Thanks though mom!!"
Hooray!!
Hooray!!

The boys for the last 3 nights
"Uhhh...excuse us, is our fence done yet?? No...well, what about now??...How 'bout now?? Still not done, wow, ok, we'll just wait here."Friday, June 09, 2006
Note to self:
When letting the dogs inside for the last time at night, make sure you shut the inside door as well as the screen door. When putting the dogs in their cages at night, make sure the cages are locked. Most importantly, if you think you hear some noises in the living room while you're trying to go to sleep, check it out instead of just laying there lazily.
I got out of bed and opened the door this morning, expecting to fight off the cats as usual. Instead I had a puppy (a puppy for three more days!!) come bounding at me. Aren't you supposed to be in your cage?!? I thought. Then I saw the door wide open, and even though he was right there in front of me, I almost had a heart attack thinking about how easily he could have escaped last night.
Amazingly, there were no messes. He didn't get into the trash or tear anything up. I think we'll still be locking the boys up when we're not around though...
