10 Book confessions

1. I have never read a Narnia book.

2. I have read all of the Lord of the Rings books except The Return of the King. I make it about half way and then sleep takes over every time I try.

3. I have read every book in the Princess Diaries, Harry Potter, and Artemis Fowl series and enjoyed them.

4. I read all but one of the Hitchhiker's Guide books and loved them, but I embarrassingly remember little about them.

5. I am the only one from my Senior English class in high school who liked Adam Bede.

6. I often enjoy children's books more than those written for adults.

7. I have read The Little Prince in the original French, twice.

8. I have to read parts of the Redwall series' books out loud due to the amazing accents that are written out.

9. I like reading book compilations of real people's diaries and letters.

10. I hate getting rid of books. There are piles of them throughout the house.

In a year

I have been looking forward to this date. Today I can say, "Only one more year!"

If all goes well, next year on this date I will be marrying my fiance.

It is both exciting and frustrating. Exciting for the obvious reason. But furstrating because I haven't actually set the date with the church yet. The reason is that I know they may tell me I can't set a date until all the paperwork is done. All the paperwork is done on my end. But my fiance hasn't completed his yet. Whenever I ask I hear some excuse and then I feel much frustration.

I don't know what else I can do or say. I know he wants to marry me since he asked me and we both agreed on a date. So why is this not getting done? Yes I have asked and not gotten a decent understandable answer why it has been 4 months without completing it. Is this some guy thing I just can't understand?

Right now I find myself wavering between trust him to get it done and nag him until it's done.

So honey, if you're reading this, please PLEASE get the papers finished!

And I love you.

Another year

Today my daughter turns 18 years old. Thanks to her autism she typically behaves as a younger child. But still, it's a milestone for her and a reminder to me of how old I'm getting. :(
