...I think. We did, in fact, head to Hood Canal to recharge our batteries on Monday and it was GLORIOUS. We napped, ate, and read to our hearts content, enjoying the ducks playing on the calm water and not mentioning ANY wedding planning (until the ride home). Of course, Kenny made sure to bring some wine so we could toast to being "just inside the 6 month mark," which was a sweet thing to do. The best part was the familiar smell of campfire, which is one of our comfort smells, like brownies and fresh laundry.
The seized-with-anxiety feeling didn't waste any time returning, snuggling up nice and close in my chest once more as soon as we hit I-5 South. Our Save-The-Dates have proved challenging, as has acquiring addresses and (still) deciding on a photographer/DJ. I have turned to snacks for solace- right now I am eating Sarbursts and am nowhere near stopping- which I hope does not come back to bite me when I try to put on a certain dress. They are such a comfort and also a distractio,n i.e."I can't make that decision right now because I have to eat these chips first." Snacks put distance between me and decisions, which I claim helps me with perspective when, really, it only helps broaden my waistline. Awesome.
I do feel as though we are on the brink of firming up some major decisions (we are sending our Save-The-Dates OUT!!) and then we will tackle the little guys. And I will have less to write about (yeah right).
do you have skype? because i do. and this could be another excuse to not do some wedding planning once in a while. i had some serious girl talk today about boys and it made me so happy. isn't awesome to think that no matter where you go, you're almost always guaranteed to conect on what topic with any girl!
