Nat reminded me that i havent written in over a month. Not that he really needs to know whats going on in my life. He is my life....
had a fantastic valentines day. first time i have ever had a boyfriend (more or less a fiancee). i got flowers and a card.
we decided to sell the house, making a more of an effort. we have an open house and are painting and getting it ready. we had one promising showing the other day,but who knows with those.
i love nat
wedding plans are going well. i am relocating to cincinnati to expedite the process. i am anxious to get there. i would like to leave this weekend, but Nat doesnt want me to yet. I have so much to do...its crazy. Planning a wedding (or rather a reception) is a PAIN!! i just want to get it done, and the sooner the better. i just need to relax i guess.
counseling is going well. i like it, it does bring up things to talk about. i am anxious for the next meeting on thursday.
thats it. i dont have much else i can think about to talk about. i am tired.
later loves

Not Much
Nothing too exciting going on these days. I have been working alot because they keep giving me projects, which isnt necessarily bad, but i dont know when to stop working i think. The puppies have been really good. I have them on a feeding schedule because Etta has to take medicine with food and thats the only way I can force her to eat. It helps tremendously in the potty training efforts. Its actually quite amazing. I can tell when they need to go out and what they are going to do. Dogs are amazing creatures of habit, which is nice.
Nat, of course, is wonderful. I am getting hounded by my sisters to register, i have a had time with that. Nat will have to help me.
anyway, i gotta go back to work, just wanted to let you know that there is nothing interesing going on here. If i remember though, i wll tell you about my computer dramas!!
love you

Counseling
So we went to counseling tonight. I was expecting something totally different. We talked about how we met and our current situation. After the session, we set up a meeting for next week. He asked us if we have any more question for him and Nat asked him what his impression of us was and he said that we have a cool vibe about us and a real warmth. oh, that made my day!! its great for an outsider to see that. i was so proud. Nat was telling him how we met and how he "fell madly in love with me" and know he would spend the rest of his life with me. I was just sitting there in awe, wow, he really does love me deeply. I know he loves me, and i love him... yet it is so sweet and touching to hear him proclaim it without reservation to a complete stranger. Just thought i would share out counseling experience.

yeah yeah i know i know
Ok i think i have finally come up with a time slot to write a little bit. Actually i am sorta fed up with work so i am taking a break (although i am on hour 9 of my 8 hour day). Its lonely this week without Nat. Granted i dont really hang out with him 24/7 when he is in town, but i think because he is not here, i want him more. I love him so much.
Etta. She is quite the little trooper. Last friday i was letting the girls in from being outside on the chain. They usually run right into the house, but this time they decided to run around the house. About the 3rd time trying to get them to stop and go inside i heard the screech and painful cry. Of course it was etta because she is always the one getting hurt. Its about 3pm, and i dont have a car so i call Nat like 10 times. then i make my way upstairs (etta in arms with a blood-soaked towel) and type to him on instant messenger. I am sure he was thinking..yeah right, she's kidding, but i assure you, etta and me were in no mood to joke. He called his dad (ohmigod why didnt i think of that?). Ken (aka dad) got there and drove me to the vet. Everyone there was so cool, and of course etta is adorable so its not like you can blame her. she opened up her leg, from the inner hip to the paw, bone exposed. Luckily there was no damage to her lungs or bladder or any broken bones. She went home a couple hours later and then went back Saturday am to sew her up. They only sewed up 50% of the gash...apparently dogs heal really well with growing new tissue and all. She has been back once since and i have to go in tomorrow to change her bandages. shes got one of those cone things to put on her head, but its impossible because sadie likes to attack it...go figure. SHe has been really good though, becoming quite the cuddling mommas girl. she sleeps at my feet while i work, oh so cute. she lays on my toes and grunts alot (but etta has always grunted alot)
Wedding. So i hear that my plans are confusing. yeah well, i have never planned a wedding before. Hopefully theses are the final plans...basically a little change of terminology to limit the confusion. May 20th, 2006. There will be a FAMILY ONLY LUNCHEON. Basically Nat and I feel that our immediate families are very important to us, and if we are to be married, it is ultimately a uniting of our lives and the lives of our families. So its a sacred time for our parents and siblings to bond (cause we know they will love each other). That is what it is. ITs not a ceremony/exchange of vows, its allowing our families to unite. We will get married most likely at the justice of peace or something, nothing fancy or elaborate...we havent figured that out yet. The reception is at cheryls house in monroe, hor'duerves and casual dress. Dont freak out about getting all dressed up (cause as carol reminded me, we are not a group like that). it will be like a birthday party, but better. I think Nat and I have decided to set time aside to allow people to toast us...or have a video-guest book, so i can watch it when i am down and need love. the reception in Illinois is the next weekend and all of you are more than welcome to coem to that as well. Receptions are open, carefree and laid back...what made me think to make it anything less than that??
so that being said. i would still need photographers on sat afternoon for couple/family pictures around cincy, so you are still invited to do that. anyone that is interested in that...cindy, kate, sa, beck....anyone, it could be a fun day of modeling and having fun and goofing off before teh reception (hopefully spending the day around town will take teh awkwardness off of the reception...little bonding (you with them).
i think thats it
i gotta go meet Hope (aka mom) for dinner.
love you all
sorry for all the confusion.
