Mornin' ya'll...
Well I am up bright and early, tea in hand, on my day off for multiple reasons. First, it's apparently to celebrate the nice number of 125 days until the wedding. I like the sound of it. The Knot never fails to alert me whenever I happen onto their sight and it surprises me every time that they know who I am and that I'm getting married. :)
Secondly, I must tackle the growing To-Do List that has been haunting my dreams for several days now. I just don't want to DO anything on it...will we ever escape our To-Do lists??? Will we spend the rest of our lives accomplishing new To-Do lists? Depressing thought.
Plus, I'm trill trying to get back into the wedding groove. Since so many are happening this year, it seems to be more "the thing to do" right now than something special being planned, you know? And goodness knows that all my life I have tried to run to another pasture opposite the one herding "the thing to do"-ers.I think it's affecting my planning zeal. Attending one this Saturday (the first of seven this year, including my own) zapped me of my interest resevoir for wedding details pretty quickly, I must say. How much can one person stand- going to a wedding, appreciating all of the details of course (with a new bride-eye), discussing your own wedding details immediately following, then returning to your wedding detail-littered home for the rest of the evening....andweeksandmonths. All that to say...pray for me! I want my wedding zeal back! I keep trying to pump myself up, but it's hard sometimes! Come back, wedding zeal!
On an entirely different note, Kenny and I bought a tent. That's right- we finally purchased OUR OWN TENT, complete with footprint (sold seperately). The activity we both so much enjoy but has been SO off limits for the past six years- camping (by ourselves anyway)- is now the light at the end of the tunnel (125 days and counting) and we couldn't be more thrilled.
Ahhh...that makes me feel a bit better. Not the dress, the cake, the gifts even...but that we will go camping.
Not surprising, huh? ;)
That to-do-list will become a honey-do-list for Kenny after you are married. Now smile about that!!!! Zeal?????? Remember what I told you....you are marrying the right man.... you are marrying the right man...put a skip in that step dear daughter :-) It is YOUR wedding that is important oh beautiful bride to be. ILYT
ReplyDeleteHey Gnat- There is nothing more important in this world than YOUR wedding day. Plus, what "ma" says is right on- you are marrying the right man- who else has the patience to live with you than Kenny? I can bear witness to the fact of that matter!! :) Tenting, wow, have fun. Please don't let your mother know....Oh, wait- she already does. I'm doomed!! Love ya-

Dear Leche,
ReplyDeleteI woke up this morning too early because it's getting so much brighter in the mornings here in Spokane (You would think that it wouldn't effect me, but no, for some reason my body is cursing me with never sleeping in past 7:30). Anyway, I decided to check your blog and see what you're up to with all this wedding planning. I've been doing a wedding project for my senior art exhibit and copious amounts of wedding lists are a part of it, so I have seen some pretty scary ones. You can get easily overwhelmed by the scary Bridezilla's on the internet-- with their arranged seating plans and mailing rehearsal dinner invitations... and all those over-the-top things.
From my wedding knowledge I acquired last wedding season, my tid-bit for you is: whatever level of detail you plan to will be perfect for you and Kenny.
I went to a wedding last summer I was supposed to sing in, and I got the music two days prior, and I was the only music in the whole thing!! But they loved it and it was perfect for them.
I miss you dearly, and look forward to seeing you this summer because.... I bought my ticket to come down from ALAKSA for your weekend. So excited!
and... I might be calling you earlier this summer for more good news, but you'll have to wait for that one ;)
