Vicki McMilli-update

She looks and sounds great!

She is at home for the rest of the semester and I don't know who is teaching her classes.

I saw her at the library the other day and stopped very quickly to give her a hug as she was talking to a bunch of librarians. She likes my haircut. She looked fantastic, as usual.

She is undergoing radiation to get rid of any residual tumors.

And she asks that we keep her in our prayers.


I am so happy that she's doing well.

More wedding talk while I'm still not engaged because I know you kids love it

I have been rethinking wearing my mom's dress for imaginary future wedding. I looked at the pictures of my mom and grandmother wearing it for the bajillionth time. It's a nice looking dress but I am beginning to feel a little apprehensive. It is really dated and it appears to be shiny... Maybe it is just not a good photo dress?

I don't really like any other dresses either. Well that isn't true. I fell in love with one when Jess was getting married. I wish I could just buy a bunch and wear them all the time. I love dresses. Maybe I will just wear a dress I really like.

Whenever this boy proposes to me, I am definitely going to try it on and we'll see from there. It might just need updating.

My mom said that if I don't find a job right away, Nick and I should get married so I can be on his health insurance. That is the first time she has shown open approval of our relationship. The first time in almost five years.

I'll take what I can get.

I received my graduation packet in the mail. I am so ready to be done.

I am nervous about getting a real job though. I mean Ashley is still there and she's been done for almost a year.

I'm still pretty chill. What will happen, will happen whether I freak out or not. I can either be worried about what might happen or I can just let it happen. I'd rather not be worried about it.

My brother's birthday is this weekend. He is going to be 16. Oh. Man. I met Nick when we were 16.

Kids, I need your help

I saw this movie, long ago, and I cannot remember what it was called.

It was on a ship? or a submarine? and the two ships/submarines were fighting against each other but then they all got sick so they banded together and housed the sick people on their ships/submarines. One of them was probably a German shipmarine.

This movie was probably a terrible movie. Every time I watch a submarine movie, I want to watch this mystery one.

Children, what is this movie?

I do not remember who is in it. Probably some men.

It is not U571. They just get blown up and the one guy drowns.

Mark your calendars, kids

Nick has mentioned that we will get engaged before my plan of 2012. He also has said that we won't get engaged unless we can afford to get married.

He just recently mentioned that 26 is the perfect age to have a kid. That makes 2013 The Year of The First Child (not the year of the snake like those Chinese want to tell you).

It's crazy to think about having a kid in the next four years. Four years ago, Nick and I had been dating for a year. Four years from now, I don't even know where I'll be living or where I'll be working.

But Nick'll be there. Nick and a baby.
