Bits and pieces

Sighhh...its been a while since I posted...bad, I know. It's called working in a busy restaurant, lots of school, a wedding in 11 days, being sick right before the wedding, and the list could go on and on. :) I am officially starting Intermediate Ballet next year, wich introduces pointe shoe work. I should have been a long time ago, but I only started ballet fall 2005.
Lilly, our newest canine member of the family, is doing very well. Her favorite thing in the world is to jump up on you with muddy paws when you have a new skirt on and are on your way to an event you don't want to be seen at with a mud-covered skirt. :)
Wedding preparations are getting very busy but going well. My parents, Deb, Sue, and Matt and Timmy are picking out shoes and picking up dresses for the wedding, but I am home still sick...Ces't la vie! :) We are closing the restaurant 10 days for the wedding. I am reading a book called We Seven, written through essays by the first 7 astronauts chosen for the first trips into space with the mercury capsules. I am not done yet, but as far as I can tell, it's a great book. You can get it at the Moscow Public Library.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
