Hmmmm -- where to start? Well, my ring has changed, the date is almost here (10-10-10 -- I know, we had to join the crowd, but hey its a pretty binary date for someone who works with puters, lol.), and we are up to our armpits in plans and stuff. The whole family is coming (I say that and yet we will be short two people on my side and will miss both Trent and Joe) from both sides and things are falling into place. Invitations have been sent, the boat is chartered (yep, a catamaran on Lake Lewisville), wedding bands designed and delivered, and the caterer booked. Cupcakes have been selected, drinks determined, and all associated "stuff" to go with those two bought. We are still working on the clothing, the ceremony (we are writing it ourselves), music, and any decoration we are using (mostly just for the cupcake tower, lol). To jump in or not to jump in is still being determined. 12 days!!!! Oh my -- now for house cleaning and yard work to make the place sparkle.
Oh and yes, we have the marriage license --- although that was an experience in and of itself. And speaking of experiences we want to remember and laugh about (although I wasn't laughing that day), there is a ring story never to be forgotten as well. Hope those moments are behind us and the weather stays as beautiful as it is right now (the crepe myrtles are still blooming and its almost October -- amazing) so that we can truly enjoy this moment in time.
Oops -- almost forgot to mention --- the stress level is rapidly approaching heights unimagined before by human minds, lol. Here we go.
I guess it is time to truly start the countdown. People are arriving and it is time to finish the preparations and get this event underway. Scott and Cass arrived for a week together and Mom, Sis, and my niece Jill arrived this afternoon as well. Let the airport trips begin.
After a chance to visit and catch up with each other, Mister made arrangements to go to dinner at Daddy Jacks and WOW -- it was wonderful. I loved every bite of it even after being forced to wear a bib.
