My Day or NOT

So today is suposed to be MY day. It is my wedding/elopement reception today at my in-laws house. I swear my new sister in law is trying to ruin the day by fighting with her mom incesantly. It is getting to the point of driving me nuts. And it surely does not currently feel like it is MY day. Hopefully by 6pm when it all starts it will.

We made a trip back up to washington state to finish getting the house ready for the market and to pack up the rest of our stuff. When I got there my gas had been turned off which meant no hot water for 3 days while we were there. At least I didn't have to call them to disconnect. But I still didnt like the idea of no hot shower, so instead I heated a wet wash cloth in the microwave and bathed that way. . . thank god for my Dutch heritage... glad i have learned to be innovative... everyone else took ice cold showers. HAHAHHA.

We are back down here in New Mexico now, and I am looking forward to the 28th when we drive to Fort Hood and sign in. I am ready to have our own place again and live by our rules. But I guess that is what comes with going to visit family. And I probably have more of a difficult time since I did not grow up under these rules. Toby will probably think my family's rules are nurotic.

And I shouldn't BITCH because they are doing a lot of the stuff for the reception.
I am excited to open all our presents and what not. we have a few right now, and hopefully more. Expecially all my kitchen stuff. I love playing in the kitchen!!!

One thing that made it my day was the wonderful package i received from my SECRET PAL. I got lots of unique candies, a cool pencil, a fun pen, two sheet protectors so i can put my paterns in them and keep them safe, neat keyring/zipper fob, a notebook, and this totally AWSOME doll. She is so Beautiful, and as soon as i get my house unpacked in Ft. Hood, i will totally put her in my display case or on my entertainment system so i can see her all the time. This is by far the coolest present i have ever received from a secret pal!!!!! THANKS SECRET PAL YOU ARE SUPER DUPER COOL!!!
and i figured something out... she is in JAPAN!!!! another totally cool thing.

well better go take a shower and get all primped... hopefully things will turn my way soon... not trying to sound spoiled, but it is my day, mine and toby's.
