Just wanted to update you all.

Gosh, I feel soooo out-of-touch with PT. I sometimes wonder if everyone has forgotten me here, due to my long periods of absence. He he he.

Everything's going well here. I just wanted to update you all on my situation.

Some good news:

My husband completed his education in MA and got a job here, right in my hometown......He is starting work this Tuesday. He arrives from Massachusetts on Sunday, this time for good! Yippee! The days of missing him are OVER!

Second...we booked an apartment and are getting it on June 15th. It is just 2 miles from home. Hubby will be moving there on the 15th. I will remain with my parents and move with him after the wedding reception.

The big day is.....

JULY 9TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep. Everything's all set, even the menu! We got a hall for the wedding. Only thing left is to book a hotel room, but that's it. We need to buy decoration supplies too, to decorate the house, the hall, AND our apartment. Anyone have some good decoration ideas/suggestions? I'm open to ideas on that. I was thinking about what would look nice on the tables. Flower vases? Floating candles? Rose petals? Any better ideas? The tiels will be moving with us a few days after the wedding...maybe on July 12th or 13th. They'll stay at home with my family for a few days. My family hopefully won't miss them too much. We'll be so close, so whenever I come home (which will probably be ALMOST every day), the tiels will come with me. They do have Emmy the cat with them though.

My uncle from England is coming to attend my wedding. Uncle in Vancouver, Canada will be driving down to attend too with his family. Possibly my uncle in Chicago...and maybe my aunt in England. My husband's parents are most likely coming (if they can get visa), and some relatives that live locally.

Gosh, so much to do, so much to think of. I am VERY excited...no longer stressed out about leaving my family as I'll be right here. I'm SO thankful and grateful to God for answering all my prayers. So excited. So excited. Here comes the start of a new life...

...which might mean, my routine will change and I may no longer have much time for PT...

But don't worry about me. I'll be fine and might check in every now and then. I will try my best to keep in touch once things settle down.

Oh...btw...the tiels LOVE their new daddy. Popcorn starts singing everytime he sees him. It is SO funny...but sweet.

YAY sounds like everything is falling into place! I wish you the very best of luck and I hope all goes well...do you think you'll be able to post a few pictures of the wedding? We'd love to see them!

[CagneyDog]

I wish you the best of luck Update as often as possible.

Aw, and that's great that the tiels love him. How sweet

I'm so very happy for you. Do you have any plans for continuing your education and a career? Please do stay in touch. You have so much to offer to this board.

Glad to hear from you (except for the "I might not have time for PT" part). Just remember, just because some things change, others do not have to. We'll still be here and you should be also.

Have a great wedding!!!!

As far as decorating... I love ROSS!! I'm not sure if you have one where you live... but they have the cutest things to decorate with and aren't very expensive!!

Glad to hear from you!! Make sure you check back in SOON after the wedding to tell us all about it!!

[Karen]

So good to hear from you, and that things are going well! And especially that Popcorn likes his new daddy, that made me grin!

We were at a wedding in April that had a very tall clear glass vase with just an orchid in the vase, and then a bouquet on top of that - it was great because it let everyone see across the table at each other. We all thought it was a great idea.

[Alysser]

I'm happy for you! I hope all goes well and wish you the best of luck with your wedding.

Wow, sounds like a great new start! I'm glad that you get to be near your family, that's important! And, how sweet that your bird approves! July 9th, wow, that is close! Sounds like you are handling it all very well, and, don't worry about it, no news is good news. So, live your life, and, drop in when you can!
