This is how I feel at the moment. I have a MAJOR headache. We had a super stressful night last night. Our cat decided not to come home. This is the first time he's done this. I was up, checking at the back door, every few hours. I checked at 5am, and there he was, sitting on one of our chairs. Due to some recent strange behavior, Pete thinks that Taffy has gotten some neighborhood cat pregnant and has a family somewhere. I have to agree. Taffy used to LOVE to cuddle on the couch and in bed with us, and now all he wants, is to be outside, ALL the time. When we don't let him out, or let him out fast enough, he whines like crazy at the door. He was a stray, when we got him, and it took a long time for us to train him to want to spend any time inside. He was doing really great for the last 8-9 months. Now, the only time he spends inside, is to come and eat, and then he's off again. Pete and I do not want to just be a food stop for Taffy. That's why this is so hard. It looks like we are going to get rid of him. Pete promised me, that after our honeymoon in a couple of weeks, we'll get a new kitten, that will be INDOORS only. I'm sure Taffy will come around for a long time, to visit. We're just not going to let him in for food, since it's obvious that he's being fed somewhere else. We can't take Taffy for a drive in the country and let him out, it wouldn't be fair, if he has a family of kittens around here now, and the SPCA will just kill him, if they are over crowded. The only other thing we could do, is take him to the Humane Society, but again, if he has kittens around here, it's not fair to him. So, today, Taffy's collar will come off, and his food dish is going in the cupboard, forever. I'm trying to be an adult and not cry, but it's hard, because we love him and it's sad, but it's best for both him and us.

Well, two days to go, until our summer reception!!!!! I'm getting REALLY excited! Last night at 11 pm. my in-laws arrived in town! My mother-in-law prepared enough food for a small army. Ok, correction, enough BEAN SALAD for a small army. Pete HATES bean salad, but for some reason, even though he's told her a million times he hates bean salad, she "made his favorite bean salad" for the reception...LOL! Oh well ;) All that's really left to do now, I think, is getting a few things from Costco today, getting a french manicure tomorrow and picking up the cake, picking up Pete's brother from the airport, and on Sunday morning getting my hair done, and general set up. I couldn't have done all of this, without the help of my parents. They have been so amazing! They are letting us use their yard, and they've done a lot of the leg work, and my dad will be work'n the bbq on Sunday. Last night we ironed things out with our minister, who will be officiating. We're writing our own vows, since we couldn't at our civil ceremony. We're actually renewing our vows. It's all going to be very fun and casual. I'll be sure to post pictures on here. I most likely will not be posting pictures on Facebook, so don't look for them on there. It's just too special to post for ALL of Facebook to see ;)

So, the diet is not going so well....LOL! We've been really busy getting ready for the reception on Sunday, so, blogging and dieting are on the back burner for the moment. I didn't want my faithful readers to have to keep reading my father-in-law update, when they came over to my blog, so, here's a new post. My father-in-law is just fine, and my outlaws, I mean in-laws, are on their way to Langley, as I type this :) Pete and I are getting more and more excited about Sunday! Now, it would be totally perfect if we had NO rain! I don't care if it's not sunny, or even if it's overcast, I just don't want rain ;) We took time out of our schedules to go see Wall-e yesterday. Boy was that a cute movie! I give it five stars! Anyhow, I need to keep working on reception music, so I must go for now! Enjoy the sun, everyone!

UPDATE! My father in law was taken to Kamloops hospital, where they told him that nothing was wrong with him. Argh! So, they sent him back to 100 Mile House! They said there is nothing wrong with him. He is still having pain, so they are keeping him over night for observation.

**********URGENT! NEED YOUR PRAYERS*************

My elderly father-in-law has been taken to Kelowna Hospital with a burst appendix. What makes this so urgent, is that my father-in-law is 80 years old, AND my mother-in-law does not drive, add to that, our summer reception is next Sunday. I think you get the picture here. My in-laws are wonderful Christian people, who love and trust the Lord. I am asking for your prayers today and for the next few days for peace for them and for quick healing for my father-in-law. I will keep you updated as I hear more. Thanks.

So, here's a little scoop for ya...I'm finished with my chemo. After praying and talking to God about it, I've chosen to refuse any further treatment. Ok, before you get all upset and freak out, hear me out. God's been talking to me for the last little while and keeps telling me to trust Him in all things. I was, except for healing me from my cancer. He told me that in order to show Him, that I truly trust Him, I have to stop my treatment. He told me that I am not giving Him a chance to heal me and that I am doubting Him, by continuing my treatment. FREAKY, yes, I know. But, I have NEVER felt better! I am totally off my morphine, and have had NO pain at all, and I was taking morphine at LEAST once a day for pain. I have SO much energy now. I have been drinking LOTS of water all week, detoxing my body from all the "drugs". Having said all this, I am not going to be totally naive...I will go for regular blood tests every 3 days, to keep an eye on things, and IF things start going haywire, I will resume treatment, but for now I have to trust God and let Him do his job.

This afternoon, Pete and I saw The Love Guru. We were both feeling really sick today, and this helped to lift our spirits! It was SO funny! I have not laughed THAT hard in a really long time. Was it raunchy, yes, was there inappropriate stuff, yes, would I want my parents to see it, no. I am a BIG Mike Myers fan, and as usual, he made us laugh! I give this movie 8 out of 10 for making us laugh so hard, and 1 out of 10 for content. It was made to make people laugh, and it did it's job :)
