I love knowing that I don't have to wake up in the morning for work!

If I could invent the way the world works, I'd do a few things different:

3 day weekends

Dog poop evaporates

Just like water, soda is free too.

Socks couldn't get lost.

When you got home from a trip, your suitcase unpacks itself

I would be down with all of those things...and add that cat poop evaporates or magically disappears in the box.

Can we also have dryers that fold the laundry for you?

by meggypeg at 03/14/09 3:44PM
how about all forms of waste/trash etc just evaporate. :)

by darrenbob at 03/14/09 9:10PM
You're welcome--although, I don't know what I did that was sweet! :) This post made me laugh!

100 days

at 03/11/09 8:48PM

Yesterday I flew home from Alabama. Will's sister Rosemary was passing through Dothan, and easily could have taken me to the Birmingham airport. In all honesty, it really did make more sense to have her take me, than have Will drive 3 hours each way. I was selfish though and really wanted to spend those last few hours with Will, and plus I get nervous in cars with people I don't know really well...

It ends up, that my anxieties and selfishness were used as a blessing by God. Will was planning to go to Geneva yesterday to check in with one of his customers if I didn't have him take me to the airport. Perhaps you've heard about the massive shootings in Geneva, AL? The shooter killed 10 people before ending his murder spree at the very location Will was going to be at! He could have easily been caught in the cross fire. I heard that the shooter used his automatic weapons there and was firing like crazy at the police. Eventually he killed himself.

We feel very blessed that Will wasn't at the wrong place at the wrong time. The shootings took place between 3:30 and 4:30, perhaps Will would have already left...but who knows?

We have been truly taken care of during all of our travels to see each other. I can't wait to not have to fly back and forth so often, and spend weeks at a time waiting to be together again. I'm just praying that God continues to keep us safe.

On a lighter note:

We spent this past weekend planting flowers and bushes in his front yard. "our" front yard! They're beautiful, and it was great fun! The house looks great Doing projects together is really fun. When I'm out there in April we're going to paint the rooms inside!

Hope you're all having a nice week! Happy March 11th....only 100 days left until the wedding!

that's crazy! I'm glad ya'll are safe!

The flowers are looking great!

HOLY CRAP!!! That is SCARY!

112 days (I think)

at 03/01/09 3:25AM

I busted out my trusty cell phone calender and counted the days until our wedding. I think we have 112 left! Not too too many I guess! I'm flying out to Alabama next Saturday. I'll be there until tuesday...which will be our longest time together since the christmas holidays. Lately we've just gotten 2-3 day weekends.

My wedding dress came in, and today I got to go try it on and try to find shoes and a veil. Still working on that, but hopefully it will come together soon!

Sometimes the stress of the wedding, moving across the country, work, and Lupus can get to be too much for me. There is great comfort in knowing that everything will always be alright for those who love the Lord.

My favorite chapter to read is Psalm 91. Especially verse 2. Makes me not feel alone. I greatly recommend it!

Will has been so wonderful in doing his best to make these transitions easier for me. I'm thankful for him, and for all of the kind folks back where he lives who have been so welcoming. I know everything will be ok. And chances are, they'll be better than ok!

I'm sad to leave my family, my church family, and friends here. Mom told me "nothing is forever" and so I'm trying to remember that.

Tonight I went to a singing out in Pleasanton, at the Liszt home. It was very uplifting and good to see old friends. I always enjoy heart to hearts with Miss Arleen!

Now it's off to bed for me...looking forward to some calm sleep!

where exactly will you guys be living?

by hmgarcia at 03/02/09 2:54PM
We're looking forward to having you hear! I understand how you feel about moving. I'm not quite as far from my hometown as you will be, but we moved here 4 years ago and all of a sudden I was 7.5 hours from home and didn't have any friends. It's hard!! We are excited to have you here though---did Will mention coming to our house this Sunday for lunch??

by courtcraig at 03/02/09 5:20PM
umm, that first "hear" should be "here." opps.

by courtcraig at 03/02/09 5:20PM
i'm glad you're comin south!!

by rosemary at 03/03/09 8:51PM
marriage is a big step, and starting over in a new place is scary. It will be such an exciting experience for you though, with everything new and being able to start fresh with someone you love.

Are you taking any Vitamin D? The doctor has me on 2000 a day and I can't believe how much energy I have. I didn't realize I was so tired until the Vitamin D made me feel so good.

by julie at 03/09/09 1:24PM
I'm not sure how much people are suppose to take of Vitamin D. I may only be doing the 2000/day until it gets better. I'm suppose to go back end of the month.

by robbio at 02/22/09 9:26PM
I like the double meaning behind "my Will" if there was a double meaning.

by millychloe at 02/23/09 10:51AM
I'm thankful for you!

by wilbur at 02/24/09 10:25AM
I didn't know about it either, I don't think it's "required," but it's a nice gesture to give a little something (small, nothing elaborate) to those who helped throw your shower. I gave mugs with little packets of tea for my bridal shower, since it was a "bridal tea".

by megan at 02/25/09 10:17PM
no problem, just let me know!

by millychloe at 02/25/09 11:00PM

Yesterday we had our soup-er-bowl party at my Grandpa and Grandma's! It was a blast, as always...it's been great having my Nay cousins visit. I got some quality time playing with the latest great-grand child of the family, Justin. He's cute--we got to watch him take a few of his first steps--so cute! He's supposed to be in our wedding in June, and I'm hoping he does something crazy during it. Who knows where he'll go, but I doubt he'll make it down the isle! I'm so excited about our day!

This weekend was really special for me and Will. Since our engagement, I've been spending time with my Mom planning the wedding--and she's been so helpful, keeping me going, but really doing more work than me! Anyone who knows William knows that he LOVES weddings. He always calls them "the biggest day of these two peoples' lives!" This weekend was very special because he flew in and we got to go to the tastings of different caterers for our wedding venue. He took his food choosing job VERY SERIOUSLY, it was cute! He also got to pick out tuxes and model the jackets for me :)

We're rather blessed--and get to see each other next weekend in Tampa as well as Valentine's weekend (our 6 month anniversary!) out here in CA. I'm hoping to go to Monterey for the day! (hope you're reading this William!) I'm so thankful that my parents really encouraged me to finish college and get a job, so that we can afford these trips and have our relationship grow, like it ought to!

Hope you all are doing wonderfully!

It's so much fun and I'm glad you are enjoying yourself. All that selection stuff brings back good memories!

by megan at 02/03/09 1:54PM
I'm glad I can be helpful to you. I know you are very busy with work and travel and are very tired when you get home. I am so thankful that I don't work full time and that you Dad supports us in the way that makes part time possible. I love that guy--plus he's pretty cute too!

by slicksgirl at 02/04/09 1:56AM
I'm so glad reading my blogs makes you happy! LOL. :)

How are wedding plans coming along?

by firebolt at 02/05/09 8:39AM
You sound sooo happy and I am so happy for you!!!

by elf at 02/08/09 9:17PM
My house-sitters did great. They even left some fruit which was nice. Unfortunately Noah got sick after being at our house so I hope it wasn't our place that did him in!

by megan at 02/17/09 2:10PM
Thanks---I took it down because after I reread it I thought it sounded like I was bragging a little. :/

by courtcraig at 02/18/09 10:25PM
I didn't think you were coming until April?

by courtcraig at 02/19/09 10:45AM
