I have to say that I am very excited that I have this week off from school for Thanksgiving. This is the first Monday I've had off in a LONG time, and it felt great! I must admit that I stayed home for most of the day and just relaxed. I'm very excited because I got a Borders Gift Card (thanks to Kath) :) for my birthday, and I went today and got a book I've had my eye on for a long time: "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. Has anyone ever heard of it? This man was a professor at Carnegie Mellon University as a Computer Science professor. He found out that he had Pancreatic Cancer, and his "last lecture" was recorded, and it's on youtube. He lectured about how we achieve our childhood dreams. He was dying of cancer, but was still so full of life and inspiration. His life lessons were in this lecture, and he dedicated it to his three small children. He went on to write this book. If anyone has an hour of time, and you want to watch Randy's last lecture, just go to youtube and google, "Last Lecture." It will brighten your day (and possibly make you cry. Lord knows I sure did). I can't wait to start reading it.
Today, Logan and I looked into more places where we can have our wedding ceremony. It's a lot of fun checking out our options, but I would like to have everything reserved and nailed down before the holidays. I know that a lot of people get engaged over Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, and we want to beat them to the punch on getting a place to get married and to celebrate! haha... :) Wish us luck!!!! :)
Thanks to everyone who has read my webpage yesterday! It's funny, I was exploring on it yesterday after I posted my first blog, although I wasn't signed in (when I thought I still was). Then, I was clicking away, and it asked me, "What do you want your name to appear as?" (Or something like that), and I thought it would be cute to have "Soon_to_be_Angela_D." or something, but what I ended up doing was signing up another account or something! I was so confused..... Oh well! Live and learn!
Hope everyone is having fun preparing/looking forward to Thanksgiving. I know I have so much to be thankful for. :)
Good Night! :)

wedding planning is so fun (and stressful-- but mostly fun!)-- Enjoy!!
The book is very good. It will certainly make you think about how to look at life...it did for me at least. I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Hope you're enjoying your week off!
