SOLD!!

Doug has officially sold his condo!! WHOO HOO!!! He closed on Friday!! That is one major "Check" off the list!!

What I do for love

Smokey is now my roommate at the new house. Pray for both of us.... as I don't like cats and he does not like me. But we both love Doug, so we will make it work!

Ohio Bridal Fun... and then...

My MOH Mary and I drove over to Ohio last weekend for some more bridal fun! Doug's mom Judy, his Aunt Linda and his twin sisters, Sharon and Karen, hosted a fun-filled bridal shower for me with the Ohio gang. It was my Mom's birthday (Happy Birthday Mom!!) which made it even more fun. It was nice to see some of Doug's family again... I've only met most of his extended family once -- at Christmas! Some of my Mom's good friends were there too. They are our 'Ohio family' so it was great to have them there. I participated in some shower games that involved toilet paper! Yep... I call that bridal hazing!! Oh well... it was worth it... everyone had fun! It was a great day!

And then....

I was heading out my parent's house, with a box of Precious Moments that I had collected since I was young. I had received a Precious Moment from my parents for every special occasion -- First Communion, First Confession, Confirmation, graduation, etc. etc. They had been storing them for a long time and I was going to take them to the new house... to store them there! As I stepped down, down I went and down crashed all the Precious Moments too!! The entire village of figurines were decapitated in an instant! My parents had kept them safe for over 20 years... and I had them for less than 60 seconds and they were in a zillion pieces!! And in the same instant... I BROKE MY FOOT!!!! Yep... I HAVE A BROKEN FOOT with 61 days until I walk down the aisle! So pray for fast healing!!! I don't want to be hobbling down the aisle! Luckily, Mary was with me and drove me back to Indiana! I don't know what I would have done without her! I'd probably still be hobbling around Ohio!

Here are some picture of the FUN part of the day!
