busy

wow i just realized it's been a month since my last post! where does the time go?!
well, to sum things up...
been working six days a week between 2 outbacks and doing outback charity events. in my little bit of spare time i've been trying to plan a wedding and clean up around this pig sty we call a house.

the wedding is coming up faster than i can prepare for it! everyone told me i was starting so early, and i did... now i seem to have fallen behind somehow! all i can look forward to is that beautiful day that will fly by faster than the last year and a half engagement and that wonderfully exciting honeymoon that i am sure will end up feeling to short once it's all over. zak and i are extremely excited for all of that, but there is still so much to do to prep for it! i feel a little overwhelmed, but not entirely stressed (yet... hehe).

last weekend zak, ken and i all went to orlando to see a concert at the hard rock at universal. they do classic rock album tributes and they were doing U2's the joshua tree. we met up with a couple that we'd met from the actual U2 concerts back in november 2005. i drank 5 guinness that night from when we got there, through the concert and at the little irish pub afterwards! i was a champ and the boys were impressed! while at the little irish pub, i looked around their gift shop and found a shirt that had my name written all over it... ok, it had my favorite liquor's name all over it... jameson! everyone (including myself) insisted that i had to have it, so i got it! it is SO me and now i have something green to wear for st. pat's day this year!

my parents were in orlando this week for a little vacation and to listen to a time share presentation. they were pushed and pressured and insulted (i'm not even going to get into that one), but afterwards zak and i took them golfing. my dad has never golfed (besides mini golf) in his life and did VERY well (kicked my butt). the course, however was EXTREMELY challenging and probably not the best choice for a first and second timer (mom has golfed once before). we all had fun, but called it quits after only 9 holes. after about 4 hours, we were exhausted and starving and had lost enough golf balls to call it a day! we then went out to dinner at a chop house (a new experience for myself and zak). incredible food and presentation. very neat experience. the visit was over too quick, but i'll get to see them again in just a couple months for the wedding! yay!


hmmm... other news...

the good news... yay, my friend from work found out back in november (i think) that her dad had terminal colon cancer. after just a few chemo treatments the cancerous tumor has receded exponentially and they are hoping/praying for a removal surgery in june or july! holy cow! praise God for this wonderful miracle!


the bad news... so we found out last week that the city is buying up our entire block and will be tearing everthing down and building townhome condos. what sucks even more is that we have no idea when this will happen could be 2 days, could be 2 years! no one here seems to know what's going on so we're all nervous about our homes and businesses here (o'houston's included!). now on top of everything else that's going on, we have to be prepared to move out at anytime between now and the end of our lease in september. i pray that nothing will happen before the wedding. that i think would be cause for me to be checked into the mental ward at the hospital! hehe.

well, enough random thoughts for one day. i apologize again for my lapse in posts, but as you can see we've been pretty busy! i apologize again now if i fall behind again in the next couple months. there is just so much to do.
