It's less than 3 weeks and I will be a married woman. Crazy stuff! Things have been pretty good this summer. I have been maintaining my weight forever but the dress still fits so it doesn't matter too much. School got out in a very smooth manner and ever since then I have been working very hard on the finishing touches of wedding planning. We have almost everything finished and paid for including the honeymoon, all of which adds up to more than we had originally wanted which was around $10,000.
Bachelorette Party: I had a non-traditional bachelorette party and that is what made it so great. My sister and friends kidnapped me and took me on the Kingston ferry, the whole time joking about how they were taking me to the "Scandinavian Fair" or out camping with the bears. Seriously, when I'm sitting on a ferry bound for Kingston, where else could they be taking me? So we were driving out in the boonies when I saw this big building. Turns out it was the Clearwater Casino, which I'd never heard of before (probably because it's out in the boonies). I love casinos and this was a very nice one. They even reserved a gorgeous suite on the water with a jacuzzi and a HUGE private deck out back that led down to the pool and hot tub. We had lots of booze and lots of slot machines, so it was a blast.
Mike's bachelor party is this weekend. It will be just him and his best man out at Vegas, so I hope they have fun... But not too much fun!
Penny, our ferret and best pet ever, died on Sunday. She was probably about 7 years old and her health had been deteriorating for a while now. I am having a hard time getting over it. We are planning on donating her cage and other things to the shelter where we adopted her. I'm not sure if it's because I miss her so much or what, but I thought it might be nice to adopt another one. Mike says we can either get a new ferret now, or get a dog later when we get a house, but not both. That is a tough choice. Ferrets behave like cute little puppies all their lives but they don't live nearly as long.
I hope things are good for all of you and thank you for checking in on me!

WOW... time flies!!
OMG I can't believe it's this month! Wooohoooo!! Relax and enjoy, since all the planning's done!!
RIP to your little ferret friend/pet. (( HUGS ))
I vote get another ferret. Smaller. Has to be easier than a dog LOL!!
The suite sounds heavenly and wonderful. I'm jealous!
So sorry about your ferret. That has to be tough. Do what's in your heart and makes the most sense for your circumstances. Having an inside dog is a big responsibility. Keep that in mind! i adopted one last year and then ended up giving her to my hairdresser. Having a dog inside wasn't what I remembered it being! I couldn't deal with it.
Definitely want to see the pics! I can't believe the big day is coming up so soon... it seems like just a little while ago that you were in disney world getting engaged!
Sorry to hear about Penny :(
I have been making some great concoctions in the ice cream maker...I wish that the recipes froze better though. You'll have to let me know how the soft-serve machine turns out!
I remember Penny!! :( You must be so sad and really miss her alot. Mike says you can get a ferret now or a dog later, but not both. Oh, please! LOL Get the ferret now and I can almost guarantee that he will forget what he said and then you can get the dog, too. You got to start training these guys early! ;) When I got my pug, DH said I could get it under the condition that I start helping pick up the dog poop in the backyard. Of course I promised I would, but after 2.5 years of having her, I haven't done it once!
I'm sooooooo excited about your wedding!!!!!! Glad your bachelorette party was fun....I hope Mikes Bachelor party goes well!!!
