Birthday in T -9 days

I have come to realize that my 23rd birthday is in 9 days. lol, who am I kidding?! I start counting down to my birthday with in seconds of it being over. I love my birthday and I love making a big deal of it, be it with a party, a big group event somewhere, or a lot of people watching me crawl across my best friends front yard because I cant seem to remember how to walk (21st birthday at Tammy's house anyone?)

Any who, I very excited this year because John is taking me down south for it. Its been hard being away from everyone, and I never in my life thought that I would say this, but I REALLY enjoy vacationing in Lake Elsinore!

To top things off, on the night of the 11th John is taking me to Knotts Scary Farm. As anyone who has known me for more then thirty seconds will know, I love Halloween Haunt! Its been a tradition for some time now to go every year, and untill 2005 I had not missed a single Haunt since the age of 8. Im so excited that we are going to this. John doesnt particulary like going, but he knows how much I love it, and it makes this that much more special to me because of that.

As far as other things go, I think I have a photographer picked out, and Im very impressed by the caliber of her work. I didnt realize it until after I had requested a quote from her that we attended Junior High and High School together. We didnt float in the same circles, but we did exchange the occasional hello. Her website is www.melissapalomo.com
Go check it out if you have a second.

I also have all of my brides maids, and they know what their dresses look like. I dont see a real need to have them get them right this secound. The wedding isnt until April, and I think that January would be soon enough.

Other then that, I've been stuck at home for the last few days (only missing one day of work, thank goodness) with some kind of bug. Sore throat, BAD headache, sore all over and an upset tummy too boot. John has had something close to this, but he is without the sore throat. Even though he has been sick also, he has made sure that I have eaten, that I'm getting plenty of fluids, lots of hugs and kisses, lots of "I love you"s and lots of giggles. He even went out and rented a chick flick that I had really been wanting to see! He is so wonderful, and I dont know what I would do with out him! I am truely blessed to have him in my life, and to have him be my future husband!
