A great couple of days...

Eric was here in Orlando for the past couple of days and it was really nice... we didn't have a lot we had to get done, so we could just hang out (and help mom move some furniture...) which was really nice- also really nice...

- It feels like we are a bit close to knowing where we will be living (after Tallahassee) and this means a bit more stability, a little less moving, and a better position for Eric
- When I got a speeding ticket on my way to Tallahassee last week (after I had been thinking how great it was to drive back and forth so much and not get a ticket...) the officer wrote the wrong license plate # which made the make, model, etc. all wrong- I didn't even notice this, Eric did- and when I called them today to fix it, they told me the officer would have to look at it and he might just dismiss it if he doesn't have notes on the right vehicle. I really hope that happens.
- Fenway, who is usually (sometimes...) a good dog, chewed up a pen on TWO separate occasions the other day on the couch, which left these horrible pen marks all over. I couldn't find the cleaner I usually use for the couch (which works miracles) and used Oxy Clean instead and it worked... it looks beautiful. So, I can once again love my dog. 
- My closet and bedroom are cleaned and (generally) packed... it was a bit sad packing up the pictures, but I feel so much better about that being done. 
- Our Christmas cards came today!! I absolutely love them and can't wait for Eric to see the printed version.
- We stamped all the wedding invitations, I got birthday and thank you cards in the mail, so I feel caught up with all of that.
- Most of my Christmas shopping is done!
- We get to have a cake tasting! We are having cupcakes at the wedding, and we were able to try different cupcakes, but I LOVE wedding cake... and now we are having the groom's cake at the rehearsal, which means we get to have another company make it and go try their cakes!

Things have been going pretty well. I get a little worried around election time... all the changes, etc. but, we do have to trust that things will work out. I voted. Eric voted. Now we just hope that this new president will be a good leader.  Also, there was a mouse in the house last night. Eric didn't see it, and we did look for it after I saw it and found no mouse, or evidence of him, but I am sure he was here... so I should get some traps. and I should clean...

I am so thankful for all of this, for how things are going, for what we are doing and for where we are going... 

Here's to being in the now and not worrying so much...
