Casablanca

Mom, Kim, and I went to a few bridal stores over Thanksgiving break, and I tried on a few dresses. So, this is the dress I am thinking about getting. However, I really should watch the movie before ordering from the dress collection. :-) And obviously, I won't look as good as the model in the dress.

I won't post it on the wedding blog until we have decided for sure.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I love you.

Agape,

Annoyed

I am in an annoyed mood today. Here is a list of some things I am annoyed with:

People who don't actually read emailed questions therefore subsequently don't provide any useful information back or answer your question as if you were an idiot. Pet hair everywhere. Whining dogs. Political hierarchies within organizations. Never ending household chores. Inability to call Mike when he is traveling internationally. Nail scratches in my new hardwood floor. Never having enough time. Being called an intern again. The messy garage. People who offer you unreasonably low prices for stuff posted on Craigslist. Holes in the backyard. My area rug keeps bunching up under my desk. I get acne worse than when I was a teenager. My skin dries out in the winter time. Clutter. Inability to focus on high priorities or things I enjoy. People who only complain and are never appreciative.

I know in the scheme of things, these are minor annoyances. I think I am just in a bad mood this morning. Hopefully things will get better as the day progresses.

Saint Michael

Mike left for Europe for his Thanksgiving vacation with his sister. I miss him already. He gave me his St. Michael necklace that he has had since he was a little kid to wear to remember him and protect me while he is gone. He promised he would come home to me safely. I love my honey. He officially moved in last weekend. We have a contract on his house already, so everything is moving right along. We have a few more things that need to be sold before we can get the cars into the garage, but the house is looking good. Hopefully everything will calm down so I can study for my qualifying exams over Christmas break. Not the most exciting way to spend the holidays, but it is necessary.

Prayers

Dear God,

Thank you for all you have given me. You have been more faithful than I could have ever imagined. Mike went to sleep tonight feeling unwell, so please take care of him so that he feels better in the morning. He should be getting an offer on his house tomorrow, so I ask that you make it a good arrangement for both parties involved. Please help him make the right decisions because it is an important decision in our lives. I also ask that you alleviate the stress my mom feels at work. She deserves to enjoy work since she works so hard. Please look after her and Watson's health. Also, please help Michele with the difficulties she has been having at work. Please let Ra's nose heal quickly. I think he burnt it on Marvin, the space heater. Teach Ra, Scuro, and Ru how to get along and live together happily. Make sure Kim has a healthy pregnancy. There are so many people in my thoughts that I don't have enough time to pray for them individually. However, you know their deepest needs better than I do. Please just continue to look after us all.

Through Jesus, I pray, Amen.

My Family

Here is a picture of the first and probably the last time I got Mike and all the animals in the same shot.
