as promised..daisy

Oh daisy.  these past few months with you have been so fun. 

1) i love that you can't get any traction on our linoleum floors, and that you sometimes jump into the side of the couch instead of on top.  I makes my heart smile.

2) i hate that you still haven't entirely been potty trained.  your little presents aren't awesome.

3) i love that you completely freak out when I come home.  it makes me feel good that I am the reason for your absolute ecstasy.

4) i hate the look you give me when you know I'm about to leave and put you in your kennel.  come on, its not that bad.

5) i love how you cuddle up beside me at night to sleep.  you are SUCH an adorable little monster.

6) i hate that i have to leave you for a month in august while i travel in europe.  almost as much as i hate the thought of leaving taylor for a month. you're a close second though, promise.

but most of all, i love your fur.  your crazy, scruffy, naturally highlighted fur that stands up on your head and makes you look like a little canine Einstein. love.

sometimes, she decides to go on a sprinting streak and runs as fast as she can in big figure-eights outside.  I have no idea why.  She'll fetch too, and she gets really excited about it.  But after two or three times she loses interest and watches me throw the toy and then looks at me like "no YOU get it."  Her favorite toy is an old sock of Taylor's that i tied in knots.  she is just like me.  and by that i mean that expensive things don't impress me...yea

I call her my fixer-upper puppy, because the poor thing came from the shelter with kennel cough, ear mites, retained baby teeth, and an easily-scared personality.  that sounds awful right,  like she came to me looking something like this:

but i promise she didn't, she was adorable and was really content to just sit in my lap all day.  her cough WAS really pitiful though; it broke my heart :(

however, she's all better now. and she's the love of my life.  "Do do do do a dollop of daisyyyyyyyy...!!"

we have a date!!! December 10th of this year :)

last weekend, my family, Jenna, Nimi and my grandma spent all day Saturday in the Arlington area doing wedding things.  We got to the first venue that I wanted to check out at 10; it was having an open house so I knew they would have vendors like bakers and caterers there too. couldn't miss it.  The place itself turned out to be a little small though, but very cute. you can find it here. 

after that, we had lunch (red lobster <3) and then went to the second place:  Northeast Wedding Chapel.  and i absolutely love it!  it has exactly the feel i was thinking of.  i don't wanna post the pics i took, but you can go to their website here and see a good overview of the place. 

THEN it was on to try on bridesmaids and wedding dresses! sorry again, i'm not gonna post pictures of these.  but we picked out a BM dress and got a better idea of what i'm going to have too!  it was a great day!

we finished off with a dinner at on the border, and then me and Jenna went to stay the night at my grandma's (thanks again!) before heading back to CS today.  i am wiped; i actually just woke up from an amazing nap and i dont think i'll have trouble sleeping through the night too.  i feel like a big weight has been lifted off, and now the details can fall into place!  till then, it is exactly 8 months until i get married!
