April, sorry to hear about your great uncle =( ... say hi to your grandma for me. Did you IM me 'hello stranger' the other day? Something weird was going on w/ my IM, anywho!
Liz, your DC pix are beautiful! I'm going there in 2 weeks for work. Next weekend I'll be in OH-IO, woo hoo! I watched the OSU vs. Minn game also last night at a bar in Boston w Scott, Allison and Prabu. Today we took them to Maine, and then back to the airport. It's been great having lots of visitors this summer, very busy in September. My next one is Nader at Thanksgiving, YaY! Since we couldn't really go anywhere, it's nice to have someone come here.

Me- I've just been crazy ass busy with work the past week or so, plus 'school' started. I'm teaching again and taking an HIV class at Harvard extension school. We had one free weekend in Sept where we just laid it low. Labor day Allison, Lori, and Deedra visited, then we needed the break weekend, followed by a wedding reception in the country of NH for one of Scott's coworkers (low key, pretty fun!) , a biostat work party for me at the beach (eh, so so) , Scott went to DC for 3 days, then we went hiking in the Whites w some coworkers on Jenna's bday weekend, and this past weekend Allison came to visit again along with her man Prabu. Now I'm gearing up for OH & DC, followed by a weekend of grading, then maybe some Halloween parties... holly cow!!! On that note, Christmas will be here before we know it!
Christmas- I would prefer to keep it a little more low key in regard to presents, thanks for bringing it up! You and April could lavish each other with the expensive gifts, and then save that extra money you would blow on me to spoil me at my bachelorette party in Windsor, wink wink. Sentimental would be great, along with the used books (that was awesome!) April, I'm going to bring you 'Keeping Faith' by J Picoult when I come this weekend, have you read that? Do you have something I can borrow? :) Scott would also feel more comfortable that way too, I think he will feel funny getting presents since he's not really into exchanging gifts w his friends. It's different for everybody! I still plan to do some presents, just not a ton.
Wedding Jazz- Sounds like all the bridesmaids like the forever yours dresses, and I do too, so that's exciting! I asked Crystal to play flute at my ceremony, and she seemed excited to do that, although she's so busy I hope that she actually can! The goal this coming weekend is to pick the locale of the reception & maybe also that caterer if that is a 2-for-1. April is going to come to MI with my mom and I to have a pow wow with Scott's mom, wish us luck! I've got a big white binder now, so I'm starting to get organized.
The shocker- I bought a dress this weekend!!!!! It's sooo awesome :) :) :) Allison and I went shopping on Sat morning at a couple designer bridal outlet stores, I really had NO intentions of buying a dress, but I fell in love! Now I'm poor, but beautiful, LOL. It's a sample dress that I'm buying straight off the rack for about 50% off retail value. I can't say much here in case Scott reads, but I'll tell ya'll about it later. I have a few pix, but none that do it true justice. The fabric and detail are just amazing! It's a Sally Crew dress, she hides her designs pretty much, the only pix I could find online were ones from random girls trying to sell their used dresses. She's sorta a high end designer I think, working out of the Seattle area or something. That's about all I could dig up.
All in all, I've been pretty busy. Can't wait for my visit home this weekend, I wish I could make the work week disappear, but no such luck. Gotta live it one day at a time! Take care ladies, talk soon!
KT out...
