Mission Accomplished

We cut it close (literally and figuratively--as there wasn't any left over fabric), but my wedding dress is 98% complete and my mom is back in happy valley. I could totally wear it as it is now, it just needs some finishing touches. What a huge relief. My mom said it was like birthing a baby, a very painful process but in retrospect, very worth it. The best parts are that it came in about $100 less than I had initially wanted to spend and I got to have my mom around for a few days.

More on the weekend later...

So Proud


Tim just got a call for his 5th interview out of 8 endodontics residency programs that he applied to. Which means over the next month he'll be coast-to-coast and in between, including a quick trip to NYC (w/ yours truly??). I'm so proud of him and the way that he presented himself in his applications AND how he presents himself in person. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed for acceptance letters in October!
Correction...it was his 4th call for an interview, but that still pretty great!

Crossfit kicked mine.

I am barely able to walk again after Crossfit kicked my boo-tay. What a fantastic workout!

This week has been a very good week


And it's only Tuesday. I guess I'm letting the weekend be a part of this week, too. It doesn't really want to be a part of last week. I can't blame it! I wouldn't want to be a part of last week either. This week is much better. And the reason why has something to do with this...

This story (video) link was on a friend's gchat status with the dare, "just see if you can not cry". I watched it. I didn't cry, but I was trying very, very hard.

Not because the Captain is dying. He isn't, thank goodness. Not because I live in Brooklyn. I don't, though I'm sure it's great. Not because I have secret dreams of one day being animated. That's not really a goal.

But because I'm finally starting to understand what married love has the potential to be, thanks to this guy (haha! sporting his new "manpron" that I made him--you can read about it here).

There are good things about being engaged!
