To all fans of Taza's Kingsley, meet the love of my life...

This is Winston.

He is incredibly quirky, and alas, often misjudged because of his size (he is 114 lbs.).

He love grapefruit and snow.

He doesn't like mailmen or snowmen.

He is afraid of a lot of things, especially brooms.

He makes lot of people happy when they see him walking around in his booties (his feet are terribly sensitive to the cold).

He likes to nibble on my nose, and give the sloppiest kisses that only a mother could love.

He is not just a dog.

He is a part of our family.

I love him with my whole heart!

One more member in the wedding party!

I am really enjoying my MWF classes this semester. I'm in, I'm out. So I am usually in a pretty good mood as it is. But today is just the best day EVER! Possibly even history-making! Because....

my brother and sister-in-law are having a girl! I'm going to have a niece!

Ahhh! I am literally thrillled beyond belief. I was secretly hoping for a girl so that I could have a mini flower girl at my wedding and it looks like that dream is going to be a reality. I am picturing something like this -

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!

I think I have been waiting to be an aunt since the day B. and M. got married. With eager anticipation, I have waited and waited. Finally on my birthday this past year, they gave me a birthday card that said, "happy birthday to a cool aunt". It took me a couple of seconds to comprehend what was being said and then I INSTANTLY burst into tears. I can't wait to shower her with love, love, love! Only 4ish more months!
