I wrote from home on Sunday, and as I tried to upload my daily thoughts the computer decided it hated me and wouldn’t let me on the Internet. I tell you, that silly computer hates me because it knows it is going soon! I’ll get the last laugh when I take it off to computer heaven and it is replaced with a hot little laptop! Wait and see!

Anyway, I just want to address something quickly. My brand of humor doesn’t always read as it would sound if I were saying it out loud. I used the word harassed in a previous entry to discuss the calls and emails I have been getting about the wedding. It was a poor choice of words. I meant harassed in a good-natured, fun way. Those phone calls and emails, especially from Julie, Pam, and Krissy have been so sweet and so special! You know if you make it in the blog that it means something to me. I’m going to print this and include it in my big box of wedding when all is said and done. It is as close to a journal as I am keeping in this time, so if it is something special I want to remember, it goes in the daily entry. There are lots of wonderful things that don’t make it due to time and whatnot, but the tidbits I do choose to share mean a lot to me. I would like to strike the word Harass from the record and remind everyone that I love them and to keep those phone calls and emails coming-they are what will get us through these last few days.

So what’s new-I’m at work. Only a day and a half left! Have been super busy-here last night till around 9:30. Everyone here is sick and trying to avoid me. Thanks! I think I might be falling victim to the head cold that is going around, but I’m fighting it like crazy!

Plans are all in full swing. Not too much left to do. When all the details are covered, I think I’ll go into full out stress mode. Still doing okay right now (other than worrying over nothing due to the world’s worst doctor. Doctor Luong-if by some miracle you are reading this lets be clear, I’m not longer your patient you quack! I’m totally exhausted today. Had a hard time sleeping last night. It is so hard to get home from work and essentially go right to bed. I was up thinking about all sorts of stuff last night. Mostly, I was trying to work out my vows. Taylor-this is my gift to you-my vows are no where near written. I know the wedding is in about 100 hours, and I have some real solid ideas, but as for putting things down on paper or making sense of things, there is none. I have too many ideas and too many good thoughts, so I need to “re-group” and decide what specifically to talk about. So, don’t stress about yours because mine aren’t in much better shape than yours. Like I told you, I’ll probably just get up there and talk and hope it makes some sense and that I don’t swear. I probably will though-the more nervous I get, the more my potty mouth comes out!! Alexander has already declared me the worst mouth of the family (that I’m not technically part of yet), so I might as well live up to the title!

I’m waiting for the organist to call me back right now. We need to talk music for Saturday. The amazing thing is that I haven’t stressed about that at all. Mind you, it is one of the most important things to me, but I have decided to just put all the power in his hands. I knew that I couldn’t do this alone, and there was really only one person who I would trust to help me decide these things. She was unable to help, so I decided to let go of the drama of coming up with specifics and put it all in the hands of Dan the organist. He does a good job at church every Sunday, might as well let him play what he likes and knows best. Once he calls, all vendors will be accounted for. Deep breaths!

Okay-time for lunch! I’m starved-haven’t had a decent meal in days. Must keep eating more than M&M’s!

Hey everyone! I've been pretty bad about writing this week. The last thing I said was I hope I don't get fired. I didn't-but I sure hope none of you thought I did! My review was fine, in case any of you were wondering. Nothing good to report, nothing bad to report. I'll take that as a win.

My morning started with some random wrong number waking me out of a peaceful slumber. The phone rang again a bit later and I was expecting it to be another call for the missing Helen that does not live at this number. Instead my ears heard the wedding march. Yup-we are at one week and I anticipate the harassment will begin! It was Pam calling to hum the wedding march for me. Very cute! Last night Kriselyn called to ask what I would be doing in a week, because she was excited that at that point she would already be here and we would likely have a glass of wine in our hands. Gotta like how this girl thinks!

We have had the most productive two days. I was off on Thursday, and we were both off yesterday. Thursday I went to see my dress one last time and to make sure it still fit. It does, I can breathe again! Pam and I also got some great deals while shopping and had just a great day in general. Came home and had dinner with dear friends to round out the night. Good stuff. Yesterday we were busier than busy! We met with the photographer, the florist, the banquet manager at the reception location, the church, and applied for our marriage license all before noon. Not too shabby! Then we had lunch with Sarah and the beautiful Miss Madelyn. She is so cute! Looks like Mathew right now. She has the best smile! She was a bit fussy, so that was sad for us, but we understand sometimes it is tough to be 3 months old! Once we got Sarah off on the road we shopped. Then we shopped more, than shopped more. We aren't shoppers-but we have done lots and lots of shopping this week! We got some good stuff and I think we are all done for everything we need for the honeymoon.

So this feels like the calm before the storm. I know we still have lots of little stuff left to do, and that we need to make a ton of phone calls, but right now, at this very moment all is right in the world. Taylor is still sleeping, Lizzy and Grace are racing around the house playing, the sun is shining and weather.com claims that while it will be freezing cold, the sun will be shining next Saturday for the wedding. People start getting here on Thursday and I can't wait to see everyone! After 19 months of planning, we are one week away! YEAH!!

Coming home from work at a normal hour is always a special treat for me. Work is not always, and sometimes not even often, a 9-5 kind of place for me. I’m here usually one or two nights a week from 8:30 am to 9:00 pm. I like my job and it doesn’t bother me that much. It just means that I very rarely get to see the sun and my house at the same time. This is why I love daylight savings time! Yesterday I got home around 6:00 or so and the sun was still up! It was so exciting! I discovered some mini daffodils trying to bloom (very special to me as we planted them the day we bought our house). I also discovered some big packages sitting on the doorstep. Getting gifts is cool! We got dishes yesterday and it was fun!

The better gift of yesterday was Taylor came home! While I enjoyed my weekend of being single, and I was loving the peace of living alone, by time I got home from work yesterday I wanted to see him. The kittens and I were so excited when he got home. His mom sent dinner so I didn’t have to cook, and he brought me a new long sleeved tee shirt from Baltimore. While that might sound like a crummy gift to some, anyone who knows me knows I love long sleeved tee shirts more than life itself. I didn’t discover them until college, and now I would live in them if I could. This one is navy and from some place called the Thirsty Dog, where you can take your puppy to dinner with you. My soon to be niece-puppy, Tiller, likes to go eat there with her mom and dad, so it is extra fun! I guess they went to dinner their while Taylor was visiting and he said it was a fun place. I’m just happy with the tee shirt, and the boy being home.

Wedding is soon. 11 days. This is what I learned today. My students were asking if I’m nervous, and I’m not. I’m getting excited, but until all the details are ironed out I won’t get nervous because I’ll be focused on the little stuff. They also commented that I’m probably in denial. They are probably right, but if denial is what makes me calm, then that works for now.

Just got a phone call that I have to have my performance review done at work tomorrow. I’m dreading it! It is my first ever and I have knowingly not been doing a very good job lately. I guess it is okay since I’m off Thursday and Friday and if it goes bad I’ll just leave work early for the super long weekend. Cross your fingers that I do well because I want to be in a good mood. I go right from work to the hairdresser to go for a trial run for my hair. That will be fun, but not if I manage to get fired the hour before! Yikes! I know I won’t get fired-I’m being dramatic-but I hope that the big cheese takes it easy on me. We shall see…

I had the very best weekend I can remember having in years! I’m going to give you the highlights. Friday has the potential to be a disaster. I had a doctor’s appointment that ran very long and turned sort of scary. The good news is I passed my blood test and I can get married. The bad news is I had to go get more blood work done and have to go back to the doctor for a full physical before the wedding because she saw something she didn’t like. No worries-I know I’m fine. She is being over cautious because I was adopted and have no family medical history to speak of. It freaks out doctors-I’ve come to terms with it. I came to work and had a cruddy day here. I got home to a phone call from my brother that wasn’t much fun. I cried pretty much from 11 am to 6 pm. I got ready to go out to dinner with Amy and Anthony and thought that would cheer me up. So we get to the restaurant and I learn that I was duped (unlike that chick on the Apprentice who was never duped). Amy threw me into her car and I was off to my bacholorette party! So much fun! My coworker’s rock! We had some great Chinese food and then we went to a Karaoke bar. We ate, we drank (I drank a lot), we danced, Judy sang, we ate some more, it was the best! I had such a good time. It was low key enough that I didn’t feel overwhelmed, but still exciting enough that I had the best time! The people who I work with are some of the greatest friends I have and really have felt the brunt of all the wedding stress. Troy was daring enough to come out with a group of women, even after I made he feel bad by bursting into tears because he was teasing me a few weeks ago-He is a brave soul! I can’t thank them enough for planning this night for me. I guess they had a hard time surprising me, but I’m so excited that they did-it made it even more special!

Since I got home around 3 am, and woke up at 7:30 to a ringing phone and puking cat so I decided to blow off the Annual Giving Committee meeting at Wheaton I was supposed to attend. I’m a bad volunteer. As long as I’m better than my worst volunteer here (and you can’t really be as bad as him) I feel okay about it. Taylor left for Baltimore (THANK YOU EMILIE!!!) and I started the most perfect weekend! I started putting fresh bedding on the bed (since the cat decided it was the best place to throw up-did I mention I was still in the bed?) and then decided to tear apart my closet. Then I decided to clean out Taylor’s too since he wasn’t home to stop me. I went on a laundry spree-which as you know is one of my favorite things to do. I must have done over 10 loads this weekend. So great! I putzed around and eventually hit the mall with Amy. I need everything known to mankind right now. I bought a water bottle. That’s it. It almost made me cry (but everything makes me cry). So I went home, tried to watch Jerry Maguire, stayed awake through my favorite part, then passed out cold. Dragged myself to bed around 10:30 and didn’t move again until morning. I slept better than I have in about 2 years. I woke up and chatted on the phone while still in my clean, comfy bed. I watched Donna and David get married on 90210, which aired on my 22nd birthday and the night of our Senior Ball in college and I never got to see. It was the best! I did more cleaning, more laundry, and then decided to do more shopping. I got two pairs of shoes and made a plan for a rehearsal dinner dress if I don’t find the perfect floral dress that lives in my mind. I was also able to pick up a bunch of little things we still needed for the wedding and the honeymoon (and most important-cat food). I went home, got back into my jimmies, and wrote thank you cards and did two different versions of the wedding seating chart. I can’t tell you a time when I have accomplished more and felt better about it. I adore Taylor, but not having him around this weekend was a godsend! All the things I was supposed to do fell through and I ended up with no plans (no mail, no plan) and was able to just focus on the things that make me feel better. My stress level was lower on Sunday night than it has been in over two years. Unfortunatly, I came back to work today. Only 5 more days though, so even Institutional Advancement can’t get me down now! Getting ready to leave (early!) then go to the dentist, then home to see Taylor. We should be getting home around the same time. I had a great time without him, but all day today I have missed him and now I can’t wait to see him!

Today has been the most annoying day. It could have something to do with the fact that I was up all night with a sick cat and spending my time trying to figure out when I might have time to steam clean the carpet in the bedroom in the next two weeks (I mean who puts white carpet in a house-I hate it). So, I’m tired. Or it could be the fact that the power at work went out for the over two hours so we had nothing productive to do and no heat, or that I’m only had junk food to eat today, or just the fact that it is raining, but I’m cranky. I mean, cranky to the core-all I want to do is go home and make sure Liz is okay, curl up on the couch in my pj’s and do and think about nothing. Unfortunately, I don’t think “nothing” is an option for the next two weeks. Tonight we need to go buy a new garbage disposal. I love Home Depot-I mean I really love it there! It smells great and there is always something new to see and think about. But, I don’t want to go tonight, and I most certainly don’t want any part in tearing apart the kitchen and dealing with whatever might be ailing our current disposal. I’ve got to shake this mood off.

Okay-so lets try to be productive in some way. I need to call the organist, the florist, and the photographer. Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment to see if I can get married. Yeah-try to stop me! Then it is in to the office to try to get motivated to do something useful. I was on a roll here for the past few days, then the power went out and I decided work was silly. Lets hope I snap out of that sooner rather than later. Then after work we might go out with some friends to my favorite restaurant in Sturbridge, The Ugly Duckling. This is my standard take someone out to lunch and ask them to be in the wedding party restaurant. Super cute place! Then it is kick Taylor out for the weekend and try to find time to do everything. Tay’s mom wants me to come down for the weekend, and while I would love nothing more than to get mothered for a weekend, I don’t think I can handle it. Need to get some stuff done-even just little stuff like pulling out summer cloths and washing them so they are ready for Florida. Otherwise I’m afraid that stress everyone is waiting to see is going to come like a wildfire. So far, despite small moments, the wedding hasn’t been stressful. It has been fun to plan and has really not been bad. So my goal is to stay stress-free. Judy bought me a big bag of M&M’s (anyone who knows about me and the FBI knows the importance of M&M’s) so I should survive. Did anyone ever tell Judy she is the best assistant ever-cause she really is. Note to self-thank you card to Judy! Okay-even just writing it all down has made me feel better. This is manageable stuff! No worries. Just put in the Rent soundtrack and remembered some great life lessons and now I’m going to finish up work, put in a good cd on the ride home, and just breathe.

I missed a day. Sorry! Yesterday was a day for me to realize I haven’t been a very good friend lately. Everyone knows that my family is a little less family than most, so I look to and lean on my friends like they are my family. Well, yesterday I finally realized I’m not being a good member of my fake family. I’ve been pretty selfish lately and I’m really sorry. I have a good friend who really needs her friends right now, and instead of being there to help her get through whatever is going on, I just been mad and frustrated with her for being such a poopy-pants. Sorry to her-and to anyone else I haven’t been good at being there for lately. And I mean that-I really am sorry. I try in life to be a good friend, it is something that is important to me, and as a rule I really like helping people through their bad times, because I like to see them get to the other side and start feeling better. The psychology major in me comes to the forefront of life once more. So, lets take a moment to celebrate the wonderful friends in my life!

Sarah just had a baby! Madelyn is a piece of heaven and Sarah and Mathew are blessed. Sarah went back to work on Monday-I hope it went well sweetie! Laura is adjusting to life living with a boy. This guy sounds like the one! I can’t wait to meet him! Krissy is busy and busy and busy! But, she finds time to call me to make me laugh in the middle of the day when I don’t even feel like I remember to smile. Jen is busy serving her country. She finds time to juggle it all and manages to make the best of Uncle Sam pulling her away from real life. She is officially off the black list, and deserves my praise for surviving all life has thrown at her in the past year or so. Amy is pregnant-how cool is that! Meg got a puppy, Sharon is surviving her children (16 & 19-yikes!), Dave has moved out, Elana just got married, Julie is keeping me in hysterics with her daily rants about my rants and is keeping me sane, Alex is in law school, Beth is in Med School (with a torn ACL) and still finding time to spend with Taylor and I and keep us on track…the list goes on and on and on. Taylor and I are blessed with amazing people in our lives and for all of you whom we haven’t been good friends to lately, thank you for still loving and supporting us. I promise that I once again have my head on straight and I’m finally back in focus!

In addition to all that, I would like to remove some people from the black list. Jenny is off the list! We are all proud of her for that! Tom, Heather C, and Aunt Isabelle have also all found their way off. We are still waiting to hear from lots of people-McBurney, Maxwell, Katie, and Kelley to name a few. The phone calls will start this weekend. Save the girl a dime-let me know if you are coming!

Okay people-I am on a cleaning spree in my office. I got rid of a trash bag filled with junk, a box of shredding, and a box of recycling last night and still have tons more to do. I’m switching offices on Friday/Monday. This is a huge step for me! First I need to find my desk-wish me luck!

Hey People! Happy Monday! Lets see…what’s new? I think that this weekend I can to the realization that our wedding is really soon. We had lunch with Taylor’s parents yesterday (so much fun!) and Pam and I were just talking about the logistics of things and it hit me that we are under three weeks now. In the immortal words of Taylor “Holy Crap!”

So I know everyone really wants to know who is on the blacklist, and I want to share that with you, but I’m at the office and don’t have that kind of info here. I do know that Jeniffer Hargroves, maid of honor extraordinaire, is the number one person on the list. I’m pretty sure she is coming, she bought the dress already so what a waste if she decides she is a no. Lets see, both my brother and Taylor’s sister have yet to RSVP. Family rocks! My dearest friend from high school and her sister who were like my family for all of high school and college still haven’t replied. Jodi and Lindsey-I can’t do this without you and you better get here for this! I’ll pay for your flight up from Florida-this is serious stuff and I can’t do it without you two! I mean seriously, who will country line dance with me? GET HERE! My bosses’ boss still hasn’t’ replied. I see him over 10 times a day-his office is directly above mine, still no word. People-THIS IS EASY! I PUT A STAMP ON THE ENVELOPE FOR YOU! Check chicken or beef and throw it in the mail. Make my life that much easier! Okay-I’m done ranting about that for now (but will post the full list at another time).

The Publick House just called to set up our final meeting. I love that I work for the Catholics. I get Holy Thursday and Good Friday off as vacation days. I plan to spend them doing last minute vendor things, getting a marriage license, doing trial hair and makeup, honeymoon shopping, and assorted other errands. Taylor has them off as well, so it works out well for us. Actually, this is my last full week of work (his too) before the wedding. Yeah-you can imagine that jump-started the butterflies a little when I discovered it. All of you how have offered to help out with wedding prep stuff, expect your phone calls soon. As it gets closer, I come to terms with how much there is left to do. Yikes!

Special thanks goes out here and now to both Amy Sacco and Alex Bricker. Amy has been nominated to cat sit for the better part of our honeymoon. Gracie and Lizzy (though less Lizzy after the fight she and I had this weekend over clipping her claws) are the best pets two people could ever ask for. Leaving them for the weekend is often very sad for me, so going away for 8 days is going to be very traumatic. Amy understands and she is the mother of The Mix and Monster and doesn’t think I’m some type of loony for being sad about leaving them. Amy has also been an incredible wealth of knowledge for Taylor and I in the wedding planning process. Lets just say without her we wouldn’t have a location for the reception, I wouldn’t have a hairdresser, nor a dentist, or a vet…the list goes on and on. Amy-your ROCK! Alex-you rock too! Besides a yummy dinner on Saturday night, Alex has offered to be airport shuttle man on the Sunday after the wedding, taking Taylor and I to Hartford at 7:30am and then Kriselyn (or as I call her-the good bridesmaid) later that same day. Plus-I had the best nap ever at his house the other day. He and Taylor were playing a game-I slept for about 3 hours. Good Stuff!

Well-I should work now, okay-really it is lunchtime. Just like in the 3rd grade, lunch at my office is the best time of the day. I work with incredible people, and we have the most fun sitting for an hour and just laughing! Today is picture day; we have an ultrasound of Nemo to check out as well as prom pictures! What a good day!

Today we are going to our friend Bricker's house for dinner. Who knew Alex could cook? I'm pretty impressed. Tomorrow Taylor's parents are coming up and we are going to the Publick House for a late lunch. Yummy! I'm already thinking about how good the rolls and breads are there. I know I'm supposed to be worried about eating too much, but I am hungry all the time right now. Gotta eat I say!

Taylor is such a big lug. It is 2:10 and he just got out of the shower. What has he been doing all day you ask? In addition to being an ass, he has been playing Nintendo. Seriously, that is all he has done all day. Big Lug!

Last night we tried to watch Braveheart. It is Tay's favorite movie. We have tried to watch it about 5 times in the six years we have been together. I have never once made it all the way through. Last night, about an hour into the movie I passed out cold on the couch. This is what happens-the movie, however good it may be, makes me want to sleep. Was going to watch the rest of it this morning, but the lug was playing Nintendo, so I couldn't. I think it is one of those movies I'm just not meant to watch. It is my new Bridget Jones Diary.

I'm going off in search of something for my mom to wear to the wedding in a little bit. She needs some help since she lives in the middle of nowhere, far from stores and civilization. Should be interesting. Taylor and I need to do some honeymoon shopping-just little stuff-an extra bathing suit and some fun summer dresses. Will be fun but I'm running out of time. Maybe next weekend when Taylor is in Baltimore, he just slows me down anyway. The mall near me closed their Ann Taylor. I love Ann Taylor. I wrote a Corporate Finance paper on Ann Taylor and can give you more details about the store then you would ever need to know. What I can't do is go shopping there anymore. It has been traumatic-the nearest is over an hour away now! I'll survive I suppose-just have to make another lunchtime trip. I shop well under pressure anyway!

Okay-time for peanut butter and fluff on graham crackers. Good stuff! Hope Saturday is great! Stay tuned-tomorrow I will reveal the Black List of wedding guests (JENIFFER!) who still haven't RSVPed!

Guess what? People are reading this! I have heard from about 4 people who told me that they have read my first entry and had a good laugh at my insanity. Glad I can help! I’m extra excited because one of them (Miss Emilie) found the site update all on her own!

The weather is finally nice here in New England. While I live for spring (comes from being a May baby I think) it terrifies me! No turning back now. I was checking my little “to do” list on theknot.com, and it tells me that there are 22 days until the wedding. Why would it do something like that? I wasn’t counting on purpose! I have a general sense of things, but no need to put actual numbers in place! For about the last three months I’ve been living life in terms of weekends. This weekend I was supposed to work (but now I don’t have to and I’m in heaven!), next weekend Taylor is in Baltimore visiting Alex and Emilie, and then it is Easter, then the wedding. So much between now and the wedding, how can that be just 22 days! Maybe they counted wrong…

Taylor and I both got our final haircuts last night. I’m proud that my hair is once again all one color and the gray is gone for another 12 weeks! The wedding has turned me into such a girl that I don’t know what is happening to me. I even let the most wonderful hairdresser on earth wax my eyebrows last night. I’ve been fighting eyebrow waxing for years-thinking it was going to cost a lot and hurt too much. To not have to pluck for the next 6 weeks for just $10 and about three minutes that really didn’t involve that much pain at all, waxing is the only way to go! I can see how women become obsessed with it! I won’t, but it is an easy leap to take. Taylor, in the meantime, got his hair cut by a scary Lithuanian body builder. If you saw him after his last hair drama, you will be happy to know while it is still way shorter than it should be, I am confident it will be at a reasonable length in the 22 days we apparently have between now and then.

What else is new…still not sleeping. Every night around 2:00 am I wake up. Just plain wide-awake for no good reason. I’m usually up until just before 5:00 and since Taylor gets up around 5:40, that doesn’t give me much time to get back to sleep before the alarm starts going off and he starts banging around the house. The worst part about not being able to sleep is my kitten, Elizabeth, thinks that since I’m awake it must be playtime. She has taken to sleeping between Taylor and I recently, which is fine (her sister used to sleep right on top of my head, so this is an overall improvement in the sleeping situation). Lizzy is apparently on my new sleep schedule and when I wake up and open my eyes to see what time it is, she sees open eyes and wants to play. She jumps on my tummy and smacks at my face, she thinks it is fun to lick at my arms, or to play with my hair. She just doesn’t get that it is time to be sleeping (and why would she-she sleeps all day while we are at work. In my next life, I want to be an indoor cat). I’m pretty sure at some point last night I threw her off the bed, but when I finally heard the first alarm go off, she was jumping on the bed between us getting excited because we were finally getting out of bed. You might say to yourself, why not just lock her out of the bedroom at night? If you say that, you obviously don’t have cats of your own. They are the owner of the house and all things in the house. Lock she and Grace out of the bedroom, she will just scratch at the door and cry the whole night and instead of three hours of misery a night, you will get about eight! Plus, there is nothing better than a sleeping kitty to curl up with! You just want to squeeze them and give them love (but you don’t, because then they will wake up, see you are awake, and the circle will continue). Last night I tried hot cocoa with a shot of Bailey’s in it, hoping either the warm milk or the alcohol would knock me out. No such luck! Tonight-gonna try the whole bottle of wine! Anyone who wants to come over for a glass (or for my out of town girls-as most of you are-just get a bottle of your own and we will drink together. Jen and I do this all the time. That is what free nights on your cell phone are for).

Okay-I imagine you are tired of reading now. I had a lot to say today it looks like. Probably won’t write over the weekend, our Internet at home is so slow (not that I’m doing this on work time). Have a great one!

Hi Everyone! Taylor finally gave me an Internet page where I update what is new with the wedding and us daily. Will it work, probably not (I’m never going to remember to do this everyday), but I'll give it a try! So what's new today? Not too much! Yesterday I got my blood test and once the results come back Taylor and I can go apply for our marriage license. Did you know that there is a mandatory three-day wait to get a marriage license? I guess procrastinators aren’t allowed to get married in Massachusetts. Yesterday afternoon my new boss was names. Many of you have been traveling though the season of loneliness at my office and will be happy to hear I have one less thing to complain about next time we chat. Jim will start on April 19th. I’ll be in sunny Florida and work will not cross my mind! I wish Jim good luck and I’ll see you on the 29th when I stroll back into the office for the first time, complete with a new name. The new name thing is scary. I never questioned changing my name. When you grow up as a Johnson, you don’t consider not changing your name! I was lucky when Taylor’s sister Heather got married this summer and changed her name, as it took away the awkwardness that would have come with two Heather MacFarlane’s in the same family at the same time. Special thanks to Heather and Charlie for having their wedding first--problem solved courtesy of the White family! So now all I have to do is get used to moving back a few letters in the alphabet and always spelling my name for people. I guess I can live with that! I guess that is all for now. No one knows this is up yet, so I imagine no one will be reading it for sometime until someone stumbles across this page. I hope you enjoy coming with us on the journey-and seeing what a total nut I turn into in the next three weeks! Tomorrow maybe I’ll discuss my sleeping problems, newfound forgetfulness, and the tendency to tears that seems to have come from nowhere! Have a great day!
