so, I think I want to send out this picture for our engagement announcements...it's where we had our first date...and we love oriental food. plus jeremy looks so cute. I wish I hadn't done my 'eye thing'. otherwise, I think it's a really cute picture. so, drove to fort smith...was a little nerve racking at first. my stomach was all in knots b/c all I could think of was 'gawd, this is my fate... this is where I'm going to be living" and so of course I was finding everything I possibly could wrong with it and kept thinking what everyone else (ie family that will probably never see fort smith) would think of it. but after hanging out with my love and meeting everyone, I'm very excited now. not sure where I'll find a job, but jeremy has a lot of connections now. I'm so proud of him! he doesn't think so, but I can hear him maturing over the phone--the things he has to do, the people he has to confront, etc...it's very exciting and making him all the more attractive! mmmm! Mallory is engaged!!!!! allen asked her on valentine's day. 'awwww how sweet' Jeremy and I don't do the valentine's day 'thing' but she and allen do all the romantic/sentimental stuff that movies are made of and I think it's real sweet. keep having dreams that I'm still working in the hotel industry. well, maybe they aren't dreams, more like nightmares. but then I wake up and realize that I DON'T have to deal with all those pious pricks and get to babysit my little german boy. He is so FUNNY! So, lucy was talking to me the other day and said "Immmadooonuhapumazlofumuhaniumnalanuhisralyumuhhar" and I said "what?" and she replied "Immmadooonuhapumazlofumuhaniumnalanuhisralyumuhhar" and I said "really!" and she said "yeah!! you wanna talk amanda?" and I said "sure" and then I asked amanda "WHAT was she saying?" and she said "she said she's doing a puzzle of animals and it's really hard" I'm such a bad sister. how could I NOT get that? I mean, obviously it's understandable-- a 10-year-old got it. how could I not understand it??...especially when the 2-year-old can repeat it so well herself??? *sigh*
