life lately

Doug and I have been so busy planning. I go back to school in 2 weeks and I'm not ready! I feel like all I did was work this summer. I did go to CO and FL, and have one more weekend up North this weekend, but seems like too much work. And crazy, I'm working harder and longer than at my law job and not making as much money. That stinks. Oh well, good for the resume building and future so it's worth it.

Doug and I checked out some suits last week

no hats!

He wants to still check out another place, so we have to do that. We also went to sample a caterer and I'm glad we did. They weren't great. Even the rolls were not that great, if you can't make a good roll, that makes me very skeptical! So now trying to arrange to meet a couple others. I really was hoping to have this out of the way before school started.

We also planted little pumpkin plants and gourds for our table decorations. The packet said they grew in 109 days and I think I planted them at like 106. So we'll see. Maybe they'll be small?? If it works at all I save some money, if not, I only spent $3 on seeds. And maybe I'll have a late November gourd/pumpkin sale of my own! haha

I was growing these in the sunny spot at the condo on top of some electrical box, but they went up to be transplanted to mom's garden. Grow little babies grow! We also planted some at Doug's house, so maybe we'll get some. Fingers crossed.

One thing I noticed that I loved was Doug and I were planning on meeting at his house to carpool somewhere and he said "see you at home" awwww.... it's our home already!

We also had a nice date night this week where wedding planning was limited, yay. He came over with belated birthday flowers

And when we came back after walking Becks and picking up a library movie, we came back to this nice surprise

awww, I'm going to miss my roomie!

Becks

Little buddy was acting weird the past couple days. I was laughing when I heard Jill call the vet "well he usually sits on a chair in the window and now he's being clingy and won't leave my lap - I know this doesn't sound like an emergency to you, but it is very weird for my dog." Haha. But he was being weird, and trembling, and breathing fast. In humans that is usually very bad. I tried to listen to his little heart with my stethoscope, but all I could hear was him panting. And we took his temperature. Kinda gross. First rectal temp = check. She did take him to the dog er and they said he was fine. But still the next day, so clingy! I was in the shower and I saw the shower curtain being pushed in at the bottom, it really scared me and I actually said out loud, "that better be you Becks because you're freaking me out!" And a few minutes later I was in there drying off and in he hopped! A dog is definitely unnaturally clingy if he hops in the shower to be next to you. Anyway, he seems like today he's back to normal, so that's good. I don't want anything to happen to him!

I passed my super hard class! Woohoo! One 4 week session to go and then summer break. I am looking forward to this weekend. It will still be busy with 2 bday parties, but I am looking forward to sleeping in at least tomorrow! :)

Oh Jill

Today I woke up at 5:30am so I could exercise before work. Worked from 8-5, had counseling straight after work. Came home, Jill was asleep on the couch. I got started making dinner, chopping and stirring while she talked to me about the day. I put it in the oven and went to my room to start my homework and she looked at the timer and said, "oh, I have to wait an hour?" I had to laugh. Your afternoon nap must have worked up quite an appetite! And now I'm feeling guilty even taking a second away to write this and she's out there munching on tortilla chips and watching Jeopardy. Ahhh, I'm so jealous! I'm happy I'm in school, but it is seriously taking-every-second-of-my-life.

My prayer this season of life- God you opened this door, help me walk through it!
