Nubbins...

It's storming tonight and our dog Nubbins is absolutely petrified of storms...but...I have to admit I sort of like it! Nubbins isn't usually a very warm and cuddly dog...he likes to be in the same room as you...but doesn't like to be on your lap or really touching you at all...unless it's storming...and then he is right there next to you and on top of you if he can be. If you're walking around the house he is right at your heels and when you sit down he is next to you begging to be picked up. Then when you do pick him up he is shaking like crazy! If he wasn't such a sad and pathetic little thing I would with for storms more often.

In other news...things are going pretty good here in Nauvoo so far... We've only been back for a little over 2 weeks...but it feels like a lot longer than that! I'm back at the Adventure Zone again, and at the Fudge Factory as well. Just like old times! I called the flower shop to let her know I was back in town and ready to help her for the summer and fall (like we had agreed on before I left Arizona), but she said she no longer needed my help and that if I wasn't going to be staying in Nauvoo I shouldn't get my footings here. So, I am just working at the other two places.

I realize that most people who read this probably know why I won't be staying in Nauvoo forever...but then some of you may not...so I'll fill you in. It looks as though I will be getting married in October! It's crazy I know...but I'm happy and excited... I'll write a more detailed blog about it all later...I wouldn't want to waste all my good topics in one blog!!!

There's no place like home...

Well...we made it safely from Arizona to Illinois...and it is good to be back home!

Until today I couldn't find an internet connection at my house so I haven't been able to update my blog...but I'll update you on a few things that have happened over the past couple weeks...

*When doing the final walk through at my house my landlord told us that we were 'slobs' and she had never seen a dirtier house than ours was when she would have to come by every once in a while. I was LIVID and if I didn't need some portion of my security deposit back I would of told her what a 'wonderful' landlord she was...

*I realized I have TOO MUCH STUFF and I am way to sentimental...

*I got a dozen long stem roses from Daron sent to me at my office!! I was sad there was no way I could bring them home with me. I did manage to get three of them home safely and am drying them out now...

*We had a great Memorial Day! After the 'walk through' and packing my car in the morning we came home and swam and BBQ'd and ate all day!!! Good times!

*We are almost all moved into our house here in Nauvoo. Well...everyone is moved in except me. I have too much crap and I can't figure out what to do with all of it... If you live around here you are welcome to come by and hang out any time!

*I had my first shift at the Adventure Zone on Saturday. It was almost like I never left... At one point the girl I was working with complimented me on something that I did well and I said "Well, I have made a pizza or two here in my day" and right after that I dropped a freshly cooked pizza on my foot and all over the floor...YUCK...

*I am going to talk to Marty at Hilltop Floral tomorrow and I am excited to get started working with her.

*Daron is coming the Tuesday before the 4th of July and will be here a week!! I am very excited to see him again!

I will try to be a better blogger and post things more regularly...
