I'm slacking


If anyone still reads this, I haven't written for a few weeks. I guess I'll bring you up to speed. We were adopted by our roommates family for Thanksgiving. His mom even referred to us as her "kids" which is weird since we're getting married. They were very welcoming and we had a fried turkey, which I haven't had for a few years. It was all delicious and nice to be part of a family, at least for the day.

I'm still subbing and applying for jobs as they come, but there aren't many right now. I'm meeting principals when I can and trying to be "memorable" so when they see my resume they'll remember me.

I got some wedding things straightened out. All my bridesmaids actually agreed on a dress to wear. I was amazed, I'll have some in Marine and others in Sterling. I also had to change the wedding date to July 12th to save some money, still at 3pm. I arranged to meet the flower lady when we are home for Christmas and we will see the guy in charge of the Woman's Club too to pick the cake design and flavors. I tried my dress on again, just for fun and to make sure I still liked it. The results? I had the moment I should have had at David's Bridal, the tears and image of my walking down the aisle in it. Better late than never. Now I'm waiting to hear back from certain people regarding the wedding. I wish people would return phone calls.

We finally got our first decent snow last week which resulted in my first scary spin out. I went 180 but, thank God, ended up in the middle turn lane on the highway and not in the opposite lanes of traffic. That happened on recently plowed roads too. But the snow was beautiful, glistening in the sun. Yogi likes to play in it too.

I think that's it, we'll be out in CA from December 22-29th. Let me know if you want to hang out. I miss everyone very much, but cannot see everyone I want to in a week with Christmas in the middle but I will try. Call me up! (970)449-3414
