Lisa and Michael

…has come and gone. We all had an enjoyable time together this year, one of the best ever, and Lisa’s gift to me was perfect, a new gas grill! Forget turkey or ham, or the other traditional foods, we went with grilled burgers, corn and chicken this year. Yum! I love this time of the year, I wish it hadn’t gone by so fast.

Unfortunately, I’ve been sick the past week with a particularly nasty cold that I can’t seem to shake. Lisa knows how much I love going to the doctor; it’s not that I don’t like it, but it’s impossible to get an appointment within 1 month in this day and age of HMOs and PPOs so you have to spend hours in urgent care. It sucks. But I promised Lisa if I’m not any better by Saturday, off we go.

While weather prevented Lisa’s friend from making it into town this weekend, I was a happy substitute for her, and just to let you know, Lisa did find her dress… and it’s absolutely beautiful.

P.S. The Thanksgiving pictures are up!

Today I finally finished my Christmas Shopping!! This is a good thing, as I just looked at my calendar, what with cheerleading and basketball games all this week and then the Christmas party’s after that at work, I have run out of time. I am so looking forward to staying home for two whole weeks. I have so much to do with the yard to get it ready for the excitement coming this spring with graduation parties and picture parties. There always seems to be so much to do–and then of course I still have to find a dress for June 24, 2008. Hopefully Michael can handle my best friend from elementary school who now lives in Texas. She will be here for 3 days in a few weeks to help with some of this pending wedding stuff. I am excited to include her in on this fun.
