Thanksgiving was spent chez Carters. That means that we head to Northboro for Christmas, so yay! I'm starting to feel comfortable with the extended family which is aaawesome. I pinched Mrs. Carter's butt a few times and got her pretty mad, Matt's fourteen year old cousin hit on me, I decided that Matt's other cousin's new wife hates me because she ( Read more... )

I hate Saturdays. Matt works and I have nothing to do because I'm friendless in Maine! Maybe I'll go door to door and ask people to be my friend. There's a nice old lady down the street and I'm pretty sure she lives alone, so she might enjoy company. But I honked at her the other day because she was taking too long crossing the street to get her ( Read more... )

Not really. I wish, though, because I'm already overly stressed about it. We've made three decisions so far on the wedding, and I've had people tell me that they're disappointed/upset or that they would like me to consider doing all of them differently. All three decisions! I thought it was our wedding, but apparently I was way off.

1. I want to get ( Read more... )

So Matt and I made lunch on Sunday for our families - I invited mine up because they hadn't met the Carters. I invited my mother, just to give her the option, not thinking she'd come. But she did! I was really glad she made the effort. I know it must've been really awkward and uncomfortable for her (and for me, too) but I'm psyched that she got to ( Read more... )

I am SO frustrated that I'm still considered a dependent. I can't get financial aid without my parents' information. And it's not even like they're paying for school! It's all coming from MY pocket. It's so messed up and SO annoying. My father asked to have his tax info sent to him two months ago and it still hasn't come. So my going to school is ( Read more... )

So we've decided on a date. April 20, 2008. Oh my gosh that's so far away. I REALLY didn't want a long engagement. After we finish the plans, I don't want to have to wait another year until the wedding. But Matt has his heart set on the spring, and we have to wait a year so that we can take marriage classes ( Read more... )

I appreciate all of the comments and phone calls regarding the engaaaagement :) It was cute. Matt was planning on putting the ring in my car before I headed off to work, and then calling me and telling me that he forgot something in my car and ask me if I could find it for him. And then I'd go out, see it, and he'd pull up and ask me to marry him. ( Read more... )

Last week was pretty uneventful ( Read more... )

Blaaah I left my laptop in Mass which stinks because I don't know when I'm going back down ( Read more... )

I'm nearing the end of nannying, I feel. It's completely disheartening that coming here every day is questioning whether or not I want to have my own kids. If they're like the Bakke children, I don't think I could do it. I need to find a new job before I start getting the urge to run children over with my cart at the grocery store ( Read more... )
