It's been a while! I guess I haven't realized how busy I've been. Here are some major updates on my life.
1. may 18th--Sam & Maya's 9 month birthday
2. may 19th-- Murad and I celebrated our two year anniversary
3. may 21st--10 months until our wedding day
4. may 25th--Jennifer & Jason Cheng's wedding--so much fun
5. may 28th-- MSNBC runs an article about interracial families in the U.S. and my dad has a (small), but important quote on pg. 3 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24542138/
Well, I'll talk about the last two things. Jennifer & Jason's wedding was sunday. It was absolutely beautiful! She had such attention to detail, and the day couldn't have been more perfect. They had an outdoor ceremony at a country club in Wichita, with an indoor reception. They had wonderful pink, ivory and chocolate decor and delicious white and dark chocolate pretzels as favors..yummy! I'm also envious of Jennifer's three dresses! Count 'em three! Murad and I had a blast on the dance floor and there were many times when we were the only ones out there.
So, with all the Obamaness going on around the nation (Yay Obama!), MSNBC decided to run an article about multiracial families in America (bout time). I think it's great. There are so many of us out there, with so many unique experiences to share. I'm currently working on sort of a Chicken Soup for the Multiracial Soul book in which people from these families write about their experiences. Yay, Dad! Actually Yay, Mom and Dad for taking a risk and creating my brother and me, two multiracial individuals.
Well, my little mulitcolored dogs (black & white) are not so little anymore. They are growing up so fast. I just love them so much. Each day I'm so impressed by their unique personalities and how cuddly they are. I love waking up to them (most mornings, except when Sam claws at my face!) I just remember when they were puppies and now they are nine months. They are getting so big too. Sam has been limping around. At first, we were worried but then the vet assured us that it was just growing pains because he's growing so fast. Murad and I are thinking of buying a house again. We'll see....trying not to get my hopes up yet!
THE WEDDING. Everything with our wedding could not be more perfect except two things:
1. the guest list---how do I trim it?
2. my weight loss--- I need to lose 10 more lbs.
Other than that, I can't complain. My dress is going to be absolutely beautiful. The food, excellent. The flowers and decor will be great. The venue is perfect. I've already picked out some readings and vows and I can't wait to figure out how to incorporate them. Our engagement pictures will be awesome! I'm actually excited to make my save-the-dates and inviations! So, i have so many blessings with the wedding and just two major things on which to work. Not too bad, right?

Not too bad at all! I had lots of loose ends to tie up like a week before my wedding, you are doing great!
I FINALLY got your photos uploaded to my computer last night, got some really cute ones at the DAC, I didn't know how the ones indoors where going to turn out but I think they are good.
And by the way, you look extremly fabulous and don't need to lose any wieght!
Neat about your dad's comment. Also, don't worry about the wedding stuff. If you just keep your mind focused, you can achieve it all. I bet you don't even need to lose 10lbs. Kisses to those hounds. Oh, and the book idea-- sounds great and interesting!
