One of today’s projects was to catch up on some scrapbooking. I put in the last pictures of my dog. Boy, I didn’t know it was going to be that hard; I kept breaking down. I sure do miss her.

Today I reminded myself once again why I avoid arm wrestling guys – it’s too embarrassing for them. 
And no, it wasn’t Brian, he can beat me hands down (which is normally how you win).
*edit* could some of you please go and clear my name on Brian’s site? *end edit*

Right now I’m at the Cahill house.
First day was spent registering at another store where I found some great dishes! Also showing Benj. (Brian’s little brother) my photos and looking at his – he’s got some good shots! And of course, Brian came home from ALERT 
Next morning I went walking with Brian’s mom (one of my favorite things to do here) then a group from ALERT arrived and we all traveled to Louisiana to attend the wedding of Brian’s boss. Boy, I think I saw this wedding in a whole new light! I was taking notes and getting ideas. When the bride walked down the isle with her dad I suddenly got very excited and very nervous at the same time.
After arriving home about 1:30am I slept in until 8:30! We went to church then had pizza for lunch! Now Brian is working on the car air conditioner then we’ll leave for his grandparent’s house where we’ll spend tonight. Tomorrow we’ll finish our visit with them and then attend a party put on by dad Cahill’s fellow doctor where we’ll get to swim!
Tuesday Brian has to go back to ALERT 
and I won’t get to see him for three days! Oh well, at least I get to kiss him goodbye

This is a post of activities done in honor of a unseasonably cool morning.
This morning I did a mini triathlon for my workout:
5 miles on a bike
2 miles on foot
200 yds. in the pond
Then I came home to pancakes for breakfast! I ate them like there was
no tomorrow. I also made banana bread and this caused dad to comment
that he loved cool weather.
This afternoon I’ll ice skate for two hours. Then I’ll shop till I drop – if I haven’t already by then. I love life.

Brian and I picked out our wedding bands yesterday – I’m really excited!
This one is for me – 1/4 carat
This is Brian’s – A titanium band;
Princess cut diamonds inset into strong stuff for a strong man; you can
a platinum ring – it’s so beautiful! hardly scratch it! It looks very manly.
