Countdown
Its amazing to me how the time has been flying by. I haven't had much time for anything other then work, schooling and preparing for the wedding. Never mind the weekly Open Houses, sometimes daily house showings and the need to sell as much as I can on Craigs list to be able to have less to move out of state.I found a wedding gown 2 weeks ago. Its perfect, except 3 inches too long. So I had to squeeze a dress fitting into my already crazy week last week. Tuesday Ill pick it up...Thursday we head out to Arizona for the wedding....eeek! Slowly I have gotten all the girls outfits put together. Its been hard shopping for two teenagers that are not with me, so I have a bunch of alternative choices, all of which Ill have to return because they will probably not like most of them!We have found a home we really want to buy in Arizona, but have to sell this place first...whats that mean? I don't know, where will we be living in the meantime? I don't know....its going to be an adventure. An offer was already on the table once for my home, it fell through. I know God will work all the details out, but I hate having to wait to see what that will mean! In the meantime, I run around most days with more to do then any person should. Fortunately my high schoolers finished school this week. That means choir and drama performances are all finished too! Piano recitals, are not going to happen this year...seems everyone planned everything the weekend of my wedding! : ) oh well. It was nice hearing the piano teacher say how unimportant a recital was in the grand scheme of things....I agree.Hungry, need coffee.....sadly I have a friend at work who has to remind me to drink coffee each day because of how hectic life has been......this too shall pass.
May Flowers.....Can you believe its May????????
I don't really know where the time went, but its almost been a month since I posted. I think inside of me I am almost in disbelief that I am living my last few days being single. Small parts of me still run scared thinking that this won't happen. What I have dreamed of for years, actually coming true. No longer crawling into an empty bed alone. Lord, thank you!We painted the house......Ill post more on that on my 101 Project site. We filed for our marriage license, I can't believe how easy it is to do that in a state outside of California! We have found a home we think we want to buy, (5 bedroom, 3/4 of an acre and it has grass, fruit trees and Rose Bushes in ARIZONA!!!) of course getting rid of my current home is priority. I should also mention it has a insulated separate garage/workshop that makes any man go crazy. I've arranged the reception, Dennis has his outfit (do men call it an outfit?) picked out, I think I have my dress figured out, ordered the wedding cake, mailed off wedding invitations, registered at the normal places and just when I think I have it all done, papers mailed off, forms filled out...my daughter says to me...." Mom, are you going to have a bouquet of flowers?" We watched "27 Dresses" last night....cute movie by the way. Arrrgh, flowers! I suppose I should have flowers huh. She of course wants me to throw the bouquet, but the Parks and Rec service at the park may take issue with that. Soooooo, I guess it isn't all worked out, I need to figure out flowers!I'm so happy Neek is flying in next weekend. She is doing a wedding shower for me and I need the sanity of a girls night out with her. I also need someone to ground me and help me think out things like what are the girls going to wear...and that kind of thing. Ok maybe I just need a Margarita! Oh the other thing that keeps coming to my mind is changing my name again. That just seems strange, and I can't for the life of me recall how you do that! Am I excited? Oh yes! Am I exhausted? Beyond measure! On top of everything here at the house I have taken on full time hours and have worked out keeping my job when I move. Ok, no I worked out nothing, that was truly the Lord's doing. Next week my baby turns 10, 3 weeks of high school left, and the 3o day count down of singleness begins!
