Saw it. Loved it. Probably going to go again later this week. Anyone want to go with me?

Craig and Caitlin's Wedding

I know I said I wasn't blogging but I had to show off the pretty cake I made for my cousin's (second cousin technically) wedding. Top and bottom tiers are real cake, middle tiers are Styrofoam. They forgot to order flowers to go on the cake so the rose petals are from the groom's spare boutonniere that I stole. One project down, too many to go.

Just so you know...

I know it's been a bit since I posted (or at least it feels like it) but this will also probably be my last post until after December 9th when finals are over. This month is going to be insane. I have 7 papers to write, all the reading to do before I can actually write the papers, 4 accounting assignments to do, 2 final tests to take and 1 huge final paper to write. I also agreed to do my cousins wedding cake next week so I'm fairly high stressed right now. By fairly I mean that I'm just short of a full on mental breakdown. I'm going crazy trying to keep up with work, school, homework, stupid wedding cake, puppies, bills and house work. That is why right now my house is unfit for company, so if you want to see our cute 2 1/2 week old puppies, I need at least 45 minutes notice so I can clear a path from the door to the puppies. Other than my craziness it's been fairly uneventful around here. I had planned to blog about Nolan's birthday but Lonna stole my thunder and thus my motivation for said post. We celebrated his birthday a day early on his day off. I had to do some cake prep at my parents house so we went out there and he played the new Call of Duty with my dad while I worked. I made green chili and fritos for Nolan and the rest of my family and gave Nolan his presents too. He's spoiled. I bought him the 16 GB iPod touch, a new Arizona hoodie and an Arizona t-shirt. He seemed pretty happy with it. Well, unless something huge happens in the next three weeks I'll talk to ya'll after finals. Peace!!

3rd Anniversary... kinda.

So today happens to be the third anniversary of our (second) first date. I say second first date because we had dated a few years before but I very sweetly broke up with him over the phone while he was out of town. Don't judge me, I still feel bad about it. Anyway... Three years ago today Nolan and I went on our first date. We got five buck pizza from Pizza Hut and rented Wicker Park from Clean Flicks (which we still have, I know, we're thieves). We goofed around and talked a lot and ended up putting in a second movie, Lilo and Stitch. We all know what happens during the second movie. We were pretty much inseparable after that and 3 months later we got engaged. I know it's corny but I always remember this anniversary. We'd been friends for so long that I knew from the beginning that this would either end in marriage or the loss of my best friend. Luckily for me we go married! Nolan will probably never read this because he thinks blogging is ridiculous but still, just so everyone else knows, I love Nolan SO much and I'm so happy we both had the guts to try dating again.

Puppies!!!!

Early Wednesday morning (I'm talking super early, like 4:45 in the morning early) Jinx decided to have her first puppy. Over the next 4 hours she gave birth to 4 puppies. There are 3 girls and 1 boy! The boy is one of the white ones in the picture. Jinx did very good and didn't cry or even whine! All of the puppies are eating and moving around just fine. They've got an appointment on Monday to get their tails docked and their dew claws removed. Aren't they the cutest?! (Ok, so they look like little rats but they're so sweet!)

My poor car.

My poor little Insight has been injured. On Wednesday I ran to Old Gristmill for some lunch and took it home to share with Nolan. I parked in my usual spot, as far to the right as possible, and as close to the road as possible while still in the driveway. As I tried to figure out how to juggle a purse, a phone (which I was talking on) two bags of food and two sodas I noticed that my landlady's mother was getting into her car which was parked further up the driveway. So here I am walking up the driveway, juggling food and talking to my mom on the phone (aren't I great at multi-tasking?) when I realize that the landlady's mom is backing straight towards my car. So now I'm trying to yell at her that she's going to hit my car (while still on the phone with my mom) and trying to get her attention by waving my arms (which are full of food and soda). Needless to say there was a crunch and a few choice swear words (while still on the phone with my mom). Now my poor little car has a crack in the bumper and an appointment to meet with the insurance adjuster on Tuesday. Poor thing!
