Rain, rain go away

It's bad enough to have Buster wake you up at 5:50 AM on a Saturday. But it's even worse when all he wants to do is stretch his legs on a walk or in the backyard, but it's raining buckets. I'm trying to entertain him in Mikey's kitchen, but we're running out of toys to play with after an hour and a half. And now he's chewing the rug.

On a very happy note, tomorrow is Christmas!!! Well, it is for us anyway. You see, Mikey and I are going to Mexico with my family from Christmas Eve to New Year's Eve, so both of our families are celebrating Christmas tomorrow. It's made the shopping a tad more stressful, but I feel like I'm cheating because I get to open presents a whole week early.

To get us into the holiday spirit, we are attending the Gready family Christmas party this afternoon. It'll be held at Mikey's parents' house, which is nice because it's very familiar territory to me. I'm a little nervous about this one because it includes a bunch of people I've never met before. We hang out with his aunts, uncles and cousins fairly often, but this is a whole new batch for me to try to impress. One of them (who couldn't remember Mikey's name at the time) asked Mikey's mom if "her boy was bringing his intended" to the party. Yikes, that sounds official!

And one final note before I begin a crazy day of bridesmaid's dress ordering, a manicure, holiday party attending, and watching my brother for the evening...if you haven't visited our wedding website, take a look: www.paigeandmikey.weddingwindow.com. We just added the honeymoon section!! And if you've looked but haven't signed the guestbook, c'mon...humor me just this once!
