Stuff...

I made stew last night and it was absolutely wonderful. Perfect for the weather!!! Travis and Sierra loved it too. I was proud of myself. I have been branching out to try and cook new things! So far, I have done great. I have been making homemade apple sauce and Travis just loves it! Sierra… not so much.

I have still been keeping a calendar of what we eat. I like to cook easy things when the kids are around like pigs in a blanket or spaghetti. But I am hoping that after I get two or three months full, I can eventually have enough meal ideas to plan out an entire month! That would REALLY make things easier.

Thanksgiving is going to be a breeze this year. We will have Thanksgiving at mom and dad’s house, go shopping on Black Friday morning and then leave for Rochester. His family doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving til the Sunday after so that his entire family (his mom’s side) can be together. Christmas is going to be the tough one. We will probably spend Christmas Eve with his family and drive home Christmas day to be with mine. At least they only live 3 hours away! But I have a feeling we will be traveling on Christmas day, no matter what for the rest of our lives!

Daisy has easily already become part of the family. Everyone passes her around like a baby. You absolutely cannot resist that face of hers! She has learned how to romp up and down the stairs at the house. She likes to race you to the top but coming down isn’t quite as easy for her.

*Wedding*

I am going to talk to another florist on December 6th. This is the LAST one I am going to talk to. I am so over it! A lady here at work got flowers from one of the florists that I had talked to and she was going on and on about how ugly they were… So I decided to give one more a shot.

I found navy blue and silver rose petals for the girls to throw! I’ve got them ordered and I can’t wait til they get here! I will have to let the girls practice at Christmas!

I can’t believe there are only 99 days left! I found out all the stuff I need to know about applying for a marriage license and all that. I am just so excited! We are starting to deal with the “yucky” part of being grownups. Getting me on his health insurance, we will have to get me put on the lease for the town house… those aren’t the fun things!!

Flowers, tuxes, and registering for gifts are my last major tasks… I think. I know we are going to register at Target and Bed Bath and Beyond. I think Dewayne is even excited about taking the little scanner gun around the store to pick stuff out! I can’t decide whether or not I am going to tell him that Home Depot has a wedding gift registry…

Anyway, I believe it has been decided that we are taking a cruise for our honeymoon! It will be a 7 day to Montego Bay, Jamaica, The Caiman Islands and a few other beaches. We are going to swim with the dolphins and go scuba diving! I am so excited! There is a boat that leaves the port on March 1st so we will fly out the next morning!
