Once upon a time, 23 years ago, in a castle far, far on the west coast, a baby was born. She was so cute and lovable, her parents called her "Kathy" (fictiscious character). "Kathy" grew up into a funny, attractive young woman, and became betrothed to a young knight who was also from the west coast. "Kathy" and her knight were so happy together they had planned to go apple picking for her 23rd birthday.
Then, as the week approached of "Kathy's" 23rd birthday some awful things happened. First, "Kathy" caught a horrible cold, then the evil weather man cast a horrible spell on the weekend of "Kathy's" birthday and made it so it would rain all day.
"Kathy" was inconsolable. She was so lookingt forward to going apple picking and frolicking in the Orchard with her handsome knight. Just when "Kathy" thought all hope was gone, her handsome, and brave knight came to the rescue, "We will still go to Michigan." Declared the strong knight. "We will celebrate your birthday if I have to slay the weather man myself!"
The joyous couple walked hand in hand along the apple orchards picking apples until they could pick no more.
The end.

Bride-to-Be
So, I think it's finally starting to sink in that I'm going to be a bride, partly because I found my dress. I found it and I'm ordering it on Monday! Whoo Hoo!
So here is the sagga of the wedding industry. Amazingly affordable dress + $$for alterations = not so affordable dress. So I'm sort of debating on what to do about that one. I guess we'll see when it comes in how much altering it needs. I can't believe everything they try to throw in, you walk in and you say, "I just want a dress." They say, "Oh, well you need these shoes, and this head piece, and this veil, and these alterations, and this slip, and this shawl, and this jewelry. Not to mention a rush charge(bogus!), alterations fee, etc." They could probably make a video game about what goes on in these places, I for one would probably enjoy playing it. Make it in and out of the bridal store without the sale ladies fannagling you into everything in the store. Sounds almost like it could be "The Sims-Wedding Edition". You could have all these codes to get the items cheaper than they sell them at the bridal shops. Maybe I'm just weird but that might just be a fun game.;)
Anyway, I feel a sense of relief and amazement. This is something that I honestly just didn't believe could, or would ever happen to me. For most of my life I even thought I didn't want it. I'm a bride, not a bridezilla, but a bride, who has a dress, flowers, church, and groom. In the words of a dear friend, "I am a babealicious bride." (Lis Stadler)

New Apartment
Well, we are moved in and almost completely unpacked in our new apartment. I think this has been the most eventful move I've ever had, and I've moved a lot.
My roommate and I have continuously had problems sleeping, partly due to the noise level coming from the apartment below us. We see some resolution to that problem coming soon. I think it's also probably the adjustment, just getting used to being in a new place, a new neighborhood, etc, etc... Soon, I will be adjusting to another new place, and then not long after that, another.
The funniest part of these events, in my opinion was not only a source of humor for me, but also an inconvenience.
For those who know me, you know that I have extremely small ears. Well when Amanda and I first moved into our apartment and heard the infamous noise she went out and bought ear plugs, I hate ear plugs, partly having to do with the fact that when I was young I had to have surgery on my ears and for the first six months after, everytime I swam, or even bathed I had to wear ear plugs. So finally the noise became too much and I buckled down and tried to wear a pair of ear plugs, no luck! My ears were to small, even the formable ones were too big. So I gave up.
After an entire weekend with almost no sleep and getting tired of having to call the cops, I went out and bought child size ear plugs, it was amazing, not only did they fit in y teeny ears but they provided me with the quiet to sleep soundly the entire night through. So all this to say, child size ear plugs for the win!
