It’s been a good couple of days. A couple setbacks, mostly due to the satanic furniture store called RC Willey and the fact that a storm delayed our rings getting finished (apparently they need electricity to make rings…or something.) But it’s all going to work out.
We’ve been able to get some things arranged for the wedding- talking over ideas for the receptions and where to stay when and in what state, etc. My Mom managed to find a place for us to stay in Manti the night before the wedding. I’m kind of nervous about that day- almost more about the day before than the actual day of the wedding. It’ll be nice to have a place to stay sorted out. John and I also found a GREAT B&B in Maine- which I’m really excited about. Our trip to Maine between the two wedding celebrations is for two purposes, really. #1) Maine is cool- and oh so very “us” #2) Portland is the proud home of the University of Southern Maine- a contestant for our grad school experience in a couple of years. We’re going to eat some good fish (I would say lobster, but John doesn’t eat things that he has to attack) and check out the school. All in all- very excited.
In other news- I apparently don’t know how to take care of plants. The flower in the office is dying- not even slowly- it’s just dying. I’ve done all I know how to do- sun, water, love and attention, to no avail. N0w the one in my house is turning yellow-ish around the edges. John says that they need nutrients…so I guess tomorrow I’ll need to get out and about to find some nutrients.
Little brother is settling in well. The landscaping guy finally called today and set him up with a job- so that’ll be GOOD. Now I won’t worry about him being stuck in the house all day while John and I are at work. It’s nice to have him around 
I’m a lucky girl, to have people I love here in Provo.
