I had to say goodbye to "Room at the Top of the World". I love the song and Tom Petty, but it's just too sad of a title for my blog when I'm so happy these days!
Paige is my middle name, hence the "Paige" instead of "page"... ingenious, I know.
New name, same thoughts and ideas :)

New Hobby
I'm actually starting to enjoy football..maybe because I'm finally beginning to understand it!!
Prayer Request
Michael took Lucy this morning to *sniff* get declawed. This is something that I said I'd never never never do! I know it needs to be done (those front claws can be vicious!) and we'll all be happier when it's done and Lucy can come to our new home. However, this doesn't mean that I didn't cry my eyes out this morning when he left with her!
Which brings me to the highlight of my story (and my day)...McKayla. She is only the sweetest child E.V.E.R. I was crying so hard when Lucy left and she just came up and put her little arms around me and hugged me. When I looked at her, she was crying, too. I asked her, "Are you crying for me or for Lucy?" and she said, "I don't know which." She was so sweet, telling me how Lucy would be fine and she would be home soon. About twenty minutes later, I took McKayla to school.
Later this morning, I was picking up in McKayla's room and saw her notebook open on the floor. The top of the page said "prayer list". Under that, she had written "lucy-get her claws taken out". It just melted my heart.
This afternoon, the first thing McKayla did went she was picked up from school was to call and ask me how Lucy was doing, and reassured me that Thursday (when I pick Lucy up from the vet) is not that far away!
I am so lucky to have such a sweet child in my life!!
"Honeymoon"
Since we got married on such short notice, we didn't really have time to plan a "honeymoon". Sunday night, we stayed at the cabin where we got married.
For dinner, we would settle for nothing less than the best! Michael took me to the store, where we picked up dinner and even dessert! :)
After our five-star dinner, we walked down to the lake and sat down on the dock for a while. It was a beautiful night and the water was nice.
Monday morning, we slept in (until about 7:30), then got right to work! We came home and made room for a few of my things at Michael's (now mine, too!) house. We finally got one of my dressers moved into the
bedroom.
Other events this week? Working in Richmond (where my co-worker, Jesse, made a beautiful cake to celebrate my wedding!!), Awanas, cleaning/organizing, soccer practice, Duke football game, church, and lunch with family and friends.
It was definitely a hectic first week of marriage and I'm pooped, but it was terrific! And don't worry - I'm going to get my "real" honeymoon in a few months! :)
