- MY 'BIG GIRL' -

we don't have much planned for this weekend though - dad/mom were planning on going camping at indiana beach & they'd asked us & aaron's family to go along - well, aaron's family had something come up so they couldn't go, but we were able to - come to find out, they'd gone the other day to get the camper to bring it home & get it ready & it died - yep, died right in aaron's driveway UGH - they were scrambling around to get it fixed, but they'd to order parts, etc. & spike told me to just tell them that he's got 2 new 'hopeful projects' coming up that he really needs to get ready for, so he could use the time at home - we called them yesterday morning & they acted a bit relieved that we weren't going as now they've got more time to deal with it - also, with us staying home, brit's going to get to go to her homecoming dance - see, she'd known about it for several weeks & said nothing (but was planning on going) - since i'd not heard anything about it, we planned on going camping with dad/mom - after she found out we'd planned something, then all of a sudden she 'spoke up'! - well, in our house, unless it's an urgent thing, we don't change plans so she wasn't going to get to go - well, then when this all changed & we'd no control over it, we told her she could attend & she's so excited - she & i went 'outfit shopping' yesterday & she got a new dress (soooo cute!), shoes (that couldn't match any better!), a fancy purse, jewelry & bra (shhhhh!) - she can not wait to get all dolled up & head to the dance floor - she's hoping this guy named wilson will ask her to dance, so we'll see - here's some pictures i took of her dressed up last night when we stopped by dad/mom's house to show them - can you tell she's excited!
