I have no idea where to start! First, the Philadelphia Phillies picked up the suspended game 5 on Wednesday, October 29th in the bottom of the 6th inning. Needless to say, the Phillies won the World Series that night. I am still pumped over this fact. Growing up a Phillies phan, I was only 2 when the won in 1980. I think it was fate. Look at the numbers- World Series in 80and now 08. Tug McGraw was 45 and Lidge is 54... fate I tell you!
I am sitting an watching CNN. Pennsylvania has been called for Obama!!! I feel important because I went tonight and voted with Dan. I was number 832 where we voted this evening. So far, Obama is way in the lead, which I am excited about! I loved Obama when he spoke at the DNC in 2004 and I cannot believe he is so close to being the President Elect! Things are looking up!
Tomorrow morning I will be saying that the Phillies are the World Series Champions and Obama is our next President!!
So... baseball is a HUGE deal right now! Phillies won game 3 last night and now lead the series against Tampa Bay 2-1!! They play again tonight and I am super excited.
Besides baseball, I am also excited that my dad is done with his cancer radiation on Tuesday. He is exhausted and needs the rest.
I need to get motivated. I have just about 10 months left until the wedding and I have to get my ass in shape! The dress must fit!
I am bored on Sunday after working my ass off on paper work and teacher stuff! The fun never ends!
It seems like it has been forever since I have written a blog. There has been a lot going on in my world. First, my brother got married August 23rd in Jefferson, Maine. I had such a great time and am so glad to have a new family. I love my new sister-in-law, Alice, along with the rest of the family she introduced me to. It was a lot of work but the end result was awesome! If interested in pictures, check them out- www.flickr.com/photos/teacher13.
Dan and I have not been doing too much wedding planning. We finalized the menu and some small details but we are still waiting until after the new year to send out the Save the Dates, order invites,and do the other things. I am just looking at bridesmaids' dresses for the girls. BTW, I have a new bridemaid- Alice. I decided to make her part of the bridal party and now it feels complete! We have a small party but that is exactly how we want it!
My Dad is doing well. He did have a minor set back a few weeks ago. The dosage of Chemo was too high and it caused him to become dehydrated and a short stint in the hospital. The cut his dosage in half and is doing better! He has only a week left of treatment and then it will be time to heal.
Other than that, nothing too over the top is going on! Now that the wedding is getting closer, I will try to blog more often. So far, the school year is going well!!
YES! Screw what I said is what I said.... Dan and I have registered at www.target.com. We had registered other places but found it to be too much! This was to keep you in the know... Love, peace, and hair grease
Hello all! Dan and I have decided to register at a few places. First, www.target.com for our target registry. That is for some basic house stuff we can use. Next is a website called Travelers Joy (http://www.travelersjoy.com/members/elephantjuice/).
That is the web address will put you right at our site. This site will allow people to help pay for our honeymoon to London and Rome. You can buy us money towards our flight, hotel, and entertainment. It is up but not just finished yet! A work in progress!
Since we are paying for our wedding on our own, we figured that this would help alleviate the stress of honeymoon money and any gifts people would want to give us!
Love to all!!
So yesterday I was getting my hair done and a thought comes across my brain- We should have Steve and Sara in our wedding party. Before, we had my brother and Dan's sister and that was it! Steve and Sara have been such awesome friends and we have become very close over the past two years. I feel that they are a big part of our love and I love them lots! XXOOXXOO!!
So I am looking at the rough draft of the Wedding Guest list. For the venue, we have to have a minimum of 75 people. So far I have a tad bit over 100 people on the list. I know I still have to finalize it and I have plenty of time BUT I only thought we would have like 75. I know people will RSVP that they cannot come but I am surprised at how many people we HAVE to invite. What is a girl to do?
