Great weekend! Of course, time with Brian was the highlight but we did a lot of neat things – together of course 
.
First was a wedding shower, then an unexpected but thoroughly fun trip
to Six Flags!!! Monday found us shopping for a suit coat for Brian (he
looks pretty snazy in one too).
Coming home tuesday I found my room totally trashed – furniture
piled high and all sorts of stuff from the flooding of the girls and
parents room. I dug through all of that and now have a little space for
me and my stuff again. I think this may be a hint to hurry me on out of
the house – Brian’s family pulled a similar move on him to get all of
his “junk” out of their house 
.
Today I’ve been hard at work. Haven’t made much of a dent in the
68 thank you notes I have to write after the shower, but I’ve made some
amazing progress on my quilt. I’ve already cut out and pieced seven
squares today and I’m hoping to get the last four done before bed
tonight. Brian will be so proud!
Other activites of the day include trying on my wedding gown multiple
times as Lori altered it for me – this was funny because she’s taking
it in and we were dicussing whether or not it fit around the waist and
if she should take it up a bit more, I said “either that or I could eat
more, break out the ice cream, I need to fit into my wedding dress!”
I also baked bread and made the whole house smell good when the
insurance adjuster was here. This afternon I was helping David make
pizza and he said, “we sure will miss you Amy, you make good pizza”.
Well, loss for some will be gain to another
This week has seemed very long. 
I got a lot done though. 
I’m working on a scrapbook of our Courtship/Engagement/eventual wedding
and I’ve been going through some of the emails we wrote and the story
of our engagement. It makes me really miss Brian; I want to see him so
bad! Five hours and counting…… 
I have this quote written in my Bible
– an acronym with the definition of faith. As I thought about the whole
process of getting to where I am now and my courtship and now engagement
to Brian I thought there was some interesting similarities. See what you
think.
Forsaking
All

Take
Him
Brian had to work long yesterday and some of today so that meant I wouldn’t be able to see him until Saturday afternoon! *gasp* 
What was I going to do all of Friday evening?
I set a plan in motion and drove up to ALERT yesterday and surprised
Brian at work. I arrived a little before five and he showed me around
his office and the main computer room in the basement. He explained a
lot of what they were doing; what I got out of it was they were
building and hooking up three new routers to replace two old ones, then
they had to switch everything on the network over to the new routers.
This meant a lot of small detail work typing in new coding for each
computer/printer/ect. that needed access to the main network. That may
not be entirely correct, but that’s what I understood. 
Anyhow, I somehow managed to drag Brian away from his job by my powerful magnetic personality
and we ate dinner with some of his ALERT buddies. All to quick it was
time for him to go back to work and me to continue on to his parents
house, where I am now anxiously awaiting his coming.
To help pass the time, Benj (the little brother) and I went out
on a photo shoot this morning – got some really neat stuff. I may post
a few samples later.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR BRIAN TO GET HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
