Happiness

Well, I certainly never thought that "Happiness" could ever be the title of a blog post for me. Unless I was using it in a negative term. But I mean it in the true sense of the word. I am happy. I am in love, I am planning a wedding, I love my family, and most of all I love God for carrying me this far. Life is plain good right now.
I appologize for not writing sooner, but I have been busy with Manuel here only for 3 and half weeks. I am already dreading his departure on May 6, its going to be a tough day. I am hoping that my lovely friend Felicia's blog giveaway will fall into my hands so I can use that to cheer me up:)
It is so hard to believe that school is done, I feel as busy if not busier then I did when I was in school. Only no deadlines. We have our venue booked, before Manuel leaves we will have the food decided on. We have our invitations done (thank you Staples for invitation kits:) Well, we still need to make invites for our Peruvian family and friends that will likely not come to the wedding. I am thinking I will make those in Spanish, it would be cool to see them in another language. Thats another thing I need to do before October, learn a lot of Spanish, my entire new family only speaks Spanish. It's going to be a blast. Well, I think thats all for now. I will be back, with more to say I am sure. Till next time...

House sitting and homework

So, the past week has been very long for me. On the 25th of March my brother, sister-in-law and 2 nieces headed out on a missions trip to Costa Rica for 12 days. I have been house/dog sitting for them during this time and I learned a few things about myself while here. Number One - I am allergic to dog hair. I have been stuffed up and sneezing since day 2 of being here and as soon as I am away from the house for more then a couple of hours it seems to clear up. Number Two -  I love my bed. I think most people do, but I think I really LOVE my bed. I can't believe how much I have missed it. I wanted to go home just to lie in my bed for a bit, I think it misses me as much as I miss it. Number Three - I really am a neat freak, or clean freak, or both. I will just leave it at that so as not to insult anyone.
This week will hopefully go faster then the last one. This is the last week of classes, I am pretty pumped about that. I have almost all of my assignements done except for 2 that due for a class at the end of this week. After the week is over I need prepare for only 2 exams, and fairly easy ones at that, but most importantly on the 12th the love of my life will be here. I cannot even try to explain how excited I am about this fact. He is only here for 3 weeks so we will have to make the best of it. And hopefully after those 3 weeks, or during those 3 weeks I will have some very exciting news to share...stay tuned.
