But yeah... now the craziness will begin of trying to plan this shindig. Mark and I both made our lists of invites yesterday (fortunately - for me! - the computer program that he was supposed to be working on was down most of the day, so he had nothing to do at work until they got it up and running again, therefore, he made his invite list). I have to say that Mark scared me a bit when he e-mailed me and was like... ummmm... how many people are on your list?? I was just like... oh God... how big is his list going to be?? But in the end, it looks like we'll be around 150-200 people. He is pretty sure that it will be down to the 150 mark in reality since he is putting + guest for many people that we assume may not have guests to bring. But that's what happens when you have a big Italian Catholic family. I have about 70 on my list right now... he has a little over 90. Of course, his list is almost completely family whereas mine is mostly friends. But that just happens. :) So yeah... fun times. But at least now we have a number. I'm completely happy if we keep it at that number. I really feel like I'm forgetting people... but I have no idea who.
Oh... for those of you who are interested, here are pictures of the ring. :) We had to scan it because the digital camera didn't want to focus on the ring on my finger... it always focused on my hand with a blurry blob. :) So this is the best we can do for now until you all can see it in person. :) (Slight technical difficulties over here... Mark is currently fixing the code for me to get the pictures the way I want them because blogger is stupid... this is why I'm going to marry a computer guy!!) LOL
Okay... so moving on... I'm sure there is more news on being engaged and all, but I seriously can't think of it right now. One note though... so I think I'm becoming a bit paranoid about my ring. I am worried that I'm going to lose a diamond or something. Do other people go through this?? I knocked it against the desk yesterday (because I'm a clutz like that) and I was just like... yup! That's why I got a flawed diamond to start with... Lord knows that I'll put more flaws in it! LOL But yeah... I just have this constant fear that I'll do something stupid or knock it or something and I'll lose the diamond. Does this ever get better? Do you stop worrying about it after a while?? Just wondering. (Which just reminds me that I need to call and update the homeowner's policy... have to chat with Susan). :)
So I start teaching Genetics this week, which I'm way happy about... I like that class a lot. And I was all proud of myself because my lesson plan was almost completely done, etc. Yeah... then Kent goes and teaches everything I was going to teach yesterday in class. I was just like... unbelievable. So yeah... apparently he started going ahead of the schedule. So now I have to come up with another lesson plan... I'm obviously getting used to this because I just laughed to myself and shook my head and was just like... whatever. I can't be super upset with him this week because I feel bad... he had a run-in with a lawn mower over the weekend. Two of his fingers are all wrapped and bandaged right now. I'm honestly scared to think what is under those bandages. Needless to say he is going to see a LOT of doctors this week. I think he's seeing a tissue specialist today. I guess there will definitely be a skin graft and possibly some plastic surgery. So yeah... not fun. Icky. I just sat there thinking... this is why we have a townhome... we don't have to do any mowing!! Lawn mowers scare me, honestly.

Hmmm... sounds like he might need OT in the future! Maybe the college can employ me... hahah
and yes... the ring thing does get better... I had that one from the ex (granted, it wasn't as big as yours!), but you get used to it after a while... although, if you ever take it off, you feel naked without it!
