It's been a while

I know, I know. I have neglected the blog, and people keep asking me when the heck I'm going to update. So here goes.

I got engaged. Boyfriend Brandon is now fiance Brandon. We're getting married Oct. 4 in his parents' backyard in Allen, just north of Dallas. There will be a delicious backyard barbecue and some good times with good people. I hope you can come.

I dropped out of the Texas Independence Relay. Actually, to be accurate, I found another team to take over our team's registration fee. The closer we got to the race, the more nervous I got about running and, uh, dying. My legs can't handle it. Plus, people on our team started dropping like flies. Anyway, we sold the registration to another team, all team members will get their money back, and Kathleen won't hate my guts. I still plan to run some 5Ks and hopefully a 10K later this year.

I found my wedding dress. At least, I think I did. I have tried it on several times and am about ready to buy it. Wish I could tell you all about it, but I'm trying to save some surprises for the actual wedding.

I would be happy going to the justice of the peace tomorrow. Of course, later, Brandon says he knows I'll wish we had a wedding. For now, eight months just seems like a long time to wait. Sigh.
