Just wanted to say, "Hello!"

>> Aug 4, 2005

Hello, again. I just wanted to say hello, so everyone knows that we haven't forgotten about our journal! All is good. Anthony's been painting our little condo, so more and more, it's going to feel like home when I finally get to move in! If any of you didn't know already, Anthony's part-time job while going to school way back when was house painting. Well, his skills came in handy, and he did such a great job! Yay! I guess there's more to do, so you can find us at the condo on the weekends.

In between me moving ladders and washing brushes for him, I've been trying to plan a wedding. I think we're doing well. We've got almost everything booked. Within the next two weeks, the bridesmaids will be choosing their dresses. I'm still panicking. But I think that's a good thing, right? That means I'm organized and I'm GETTING IT DONE. We were watching Bridezillas on TV, and at the end of the show, they said, "Are you or someone you know a Bridezilla? We want your story." Anthony and DJ laughed and looked at me. WHY?

I don't have many changes as far as my life goes (I have no life), but come September, Anthony will be one busy mo-fo. He will be going back for his second quarter of grad school, and starting his new job as a teacher at a private elementary school.

On a sad note, my guinea pigs, Mary-Kate and Ashley, died a couple of weeks ago. It was entirely my fault. To put it in a nutshell, they died of exposure. It was an especially hot day in the hell that is Rancho Cucamonga. I know to other people that this is not a big deal, but to me it was, and I still feel guilty every day. If you're not familiar with the way I function, I love all animals, and to know that it was my fault just eats me up inside.

Unfortunately, we haven't seen any good shows lately, which is what I miss. I can't wait to get back into that and see some shows and go out on the weekends and do our thing that makes us who we are.

I WISH THAT PEOPLE WOULD COMMENT! Who's reading this? What do you think? Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think Anthony's stupid? Wanna fight? Yeah? Put up your dukes, tough guy!

Love, Annie

Okay --- I'll comment. :)

Actually, I wasn't sure that I could comment at all since this was yours and Anthony's blog space. But since you gave the go-ahead, I'll say something.

I just wanted to say how proud I am of you, Annie --- for keeping things going...getting things booked... staying on top of everything. I'm not as involved in the planning as I wanted to be or even planned to be...but I know it's been easier for you to get the kind of wedding you imagined without having to explain everything to me in minute detail. In a way, I'm glad that you're running this show because I don't want to mess anything up and ruin anything. BUT let me just say again --- If you need me for ANYTHING, I'm here for you. Plans can and always will be broken for you....so don't worry about inconveniencing me. You're my sister --- you come first. And I'm only a phone call or an email (or a blog entry) away.

Are you a bridezilla?? Probably not...but you do have your moments... But it's only because you're doing everything you can to have the wedding of your dreams. And you and Anthony deserve it. So never mind what anyone thinks... No bride has ever walked down that aisle on her wedding day without having shed a few (or a thousand) tears trying to get there. Keep your faith...and stay strong...and you'll have the most beautiful wedding (and future!!!)

Anthony --- You've been working so hard...getting ready --- for the wedding...painting your condo...steeling yourself for grad school and your new job. I'm so proud of you too for everything you've done...it's been a crazy (and oft-times sad) year. And you've stuck by not only Annie's side, but our whole family's side. THANK YOU. You've been a huge part of our family for a long time already...And I already think of you as my brother. This wedding is just a "formality". :)

Love you both!!!

Hello, Miss Rojas! Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the post! Blog as much as you can; it makes us feel popular.

Hello, cousins from Glendora! Thank you for the post. Thanks for the kind words regarding my guinea pig situation. They actually preferred timothy hay; but nonetheless, your message made my eyes tear up and smile. Thank you.

Lots of Love! Annie
