day by day

so it's been a hard couple of weeks lately ...
my dad was in the hospital last week ...
chest pain and then he was admitted to the hospital for 3 days
he had another angioplasty with 3 additional stents placed ...
the last time this happened was in November 2005
my sister made a joke that that was 2 months before her wedding and now this happened three months before mine ... at least i'm the last one to get married.
so we celebrated father's day on sunday and pa was able to go out to dinner with us and everything
sunday was a long day ... went to Mass and then went to Joey's family's lunch for father's day, came home and got ready to go to my dad's father's day dinner at cheesecake and then went straight to work ... talk about being tired ...
anyway, lots of stuff to say in so little time ... thanks for the prayers everyone for my dad and now he's actually back at work today.

dana and i were talking last night and i carried on the same conversation with joey. i told them (during our seperate conversations) that i knew that even before joey and i officially started dating that if we started dating, i knew i was done. i knew that if we decided that we were going to go out, i would be with him for the rest of my life. we both knew - we had dated before and we knew what we were looking for and if we made that decision to be together, that was it. and looking back, we both knew. and we're happy with the love we found. so yes, you can know right away. scary huh? but exciting.
