I haven't posted since the 8th. Why? A few simple reasons really. My lovely FI and I have been dog sitting for my grandparents while they take my little sister to Florida for the first time. I have a dog, love dogs, love dog sitting. This, however, is not just dog sitting. It's like Noah's Ark, only not as fun.
My grandparents don't just have a dog, they have 3, one of which is a puppy, (aw so cute) but a beagle puppy. Which means that he howls, and barks, and is just all around loud. His high energy level is ridiculous, but not nearly as ridiculous as his need to pee everywhere, all the time. Seriously, we take this dog out ALL the time, and I'm sure you are all suffereing from this heat as much as we are which means he is in and out all the time with lots of water. He's cute, true, super cute, but he has that constant puppy smell of pee and general stink.
The other two dogs are great, we had a small issue of attack but all is well. We are hoping to finally be able to go home on Sunday. We have been there since the 14. It's felt like a month. I love my grandparents, and love helping them, but this is just painful. I'm ready to go home. Tears have been shed and it's time to move on.
To make things even better, I started my first quarter of nursing school the day they left. Which means that I am not only chasing my whippet and a beagle around, but also trying to study, read, cook dinner, all that general stuff completely out of my little element and comfort zone of home. Plus they live almost an hour from school which I get to drive daily.
The FI and I have been hit with some financial issues and are trying to decide if we should be moving our wedding ceremony to another location and cutting the guest list and just having a large party for the rest of our friends. We love our friends and want as many of them there as we can but our wallets and bank account don't love them as much. The goal is to have a plan decided by this weekend because we have to book our venues on the 1st of August. We will see how things go!!
Happy Planning!

P.S: Borders has started their liquidation sales, excluding on-line. Definitely a good way to get wedding books, or nursing guides! I'll be heading there after class.
