We're great thanks! The gang are fine - except Lily is off to be spayed on Tuesday and....we've had five baby chicks since the last time we spoke. Here they are!

Don't worry about the public speaking - it will come in no time. When I started lecturing my heart was in my mouth every time I walked to the lecture theatre. It didn't take long before I strolled in, dumped my stuff on the lecturn and just started talking away. It's like anything else, it comes with time . You'll be fine

It's so good to hear that everything's going well. Lots of scritches to Bay and Max

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are going to be such an awesome teacher. You're kids will love you and your Mr. Alligator sock puppet.

You're going to have to be my wedding buddy this year. What's halfway between Texas and Virginia. We should meet there and go dress shopping together!

Not sure but I bet Ryan knows what's halfway between Texas and Virginia! The true question - are there any good shops there? )

Aw you're so good to me! What a generous offer, for you to fly out to Hawaii all for me!

Oh wow Beth those chicks are gorgeous! And that's reassuring, about the public speaking - thanks! Good luck to Lily and her spay - she'll be great!

Aw, of course I missed you, Ari. Its great to see you back!

Congratulations on the test! And just remember to take everything else ONE THING AT A TIME! Enjoy job hunting!

So are you still getting married in Hawaii? Sorry if I missed the answer somewhere. Glad the kits are doing well...how's the fiance? the living-together thing?

Glad to hear from you!!! You deserve a massage or pedicure or something after being so busy!!!

Yes, still getting married in Hawai... finally ordered the Save The Date invitations yesterday night. I'm going wedding dress shopping in two weeks... other than that, I'm very far behind! The fiance's good... working hard to save up for Hawaii and a new couch (he's fixated on getting a new one tho we have 2 perfectly fine ones).

Come get a pedicure with me - that'd be so much fun!

Why didn't *I* think of that?!

By the way, I'm surprised you are behind on the wedding stuff. How much is left to do? -any new pics of Baylee? She must really be growing up.

Left to do... book a florist, a baker (for the cake), hotels, flights, cars, honeymoon stuff, invitations, buy a dress, find someone to do my hair and makeup while in Hawaii... oh geez, that's a lot.

No new pics of Baylee except for the ones I posted in her bday thread (about a month ago). She's still pretty little, I think she'll always look like a little kitten!

Wow that's a lot of stuff! I'll go check out that thread. I think I missed it.

Hey Ari! welcome back and congratulations!!

Oh the joys and stresses of planning a wedding!, a girl i work with is going through the same, but it'll be worth it in the end
