the joys of life

Ahhhh, such are the simple pleasures of life. So today I have to leave for work and Monty was clamoring for my attention; he thought he was going. As I started the car, I thought I saw my mom standing by the window waving. It looked like she was holding Monty, but I thought, no, my mom would think that holding the dog so he could watch me leave for work was ridiculous; he's a dog, not a kid, right? But I forgot there was some dog food in the car I had to bring into the houes, so I ran it in and sure enough, Mom WAS by the door, holding the dog and -- waving!!! When I opened the door he wiggled frantically in her arms trying to come to me, and I felt awful leaving.

Mom made me feel even more guilty when she said, "Oh, but when you walked out the door he started crying, so I had to hold him and let him see you leave."

*sigh* Is this preparation for Daycare? Hopefully me and Nick can work something out so one of us is home.

Ahhh, me and Nick. Now there's something to smile about. If everything goes according to plan, we are going to have a quiet little wedding this spring, like in May. There is a possibility we may have to postpone the wedding until until June, but right now its a flurry of applying for the his visa and getting all the paperwork filled out so its done in time. Ohhhhh, I'm so excited!!!! We plan on going on a cruise on the Queen Mary II for our honeymoon. I can't wait. Oh boy, I have four months to get ready for a wedding!!! Its gonna be simple, yes, but it will still take alot of planning.

Since its gonna be a simple ceremony now, because of time, we want to renew our vows on our one year anniversary and have a big shindig then. We'll see.

I'm getting married!!!! Whoo-hooooo!!!!
