DONE WITH NATIONAL BOARDS

Turned in the 3 lb. box Wednesday.

Party invitation coming sometime next week. Stay Tuned!

Yay!

I'm in my new place. Anyone can visit any old time :). No couch yet, but it's coming. Gotta go shopping, finish national boards, etc.

Sarah (click on "Wilda's Site") did sooo much better in defining sleuging (her spelling is way better than mine, and I'm an English teacher!).

Parent Night tonight - whew! I'm tired. . .

Fun Times Update

Andrea made me a birthday cake. She's the best :).

Peter organized an amazing event that had Sarah practicing interpretive dance. Sandra brought the cooking oil. Yes, slooging was a blast! By the way, read Peter of Arabia - especially check out "Doggy Poo."

Burton just said Brier Creek was like a "disney world for adults." haha

Anyway, I found a place! Moving Feb. 8-10 - moving party anyone? There'll definitely be many parties forthcoming!

PICTURES :)

Sarah is such a trooper - we shopped for hours for a duvet cover, but I ended up buying one online because America's dept. stores hate duvet covers.














Barbara and Jeff took me out for a night on
the town. I might move to Durham d-town!

What fun times I've had!

Wedding Delay

Okay Everyone, Burton and I are taking our time. We've been way too stressed about trying to force this wedding along. We are very excited about the future, and I am so glad I get to slow down some :) - takes a lot of pressure off. I'm still getting my own place - yay! I can shop for furniture :).

Eddie also pointed out that I didn't make it clear that I met the daughter in the recent Die-Hard Movie. She was AMAZING. Refer to earlier posts ;).

Cheers, everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR! I got a digital camera - look for pictures soon.
