18 and Life!


How funny that I should be thinking of Skid Row today. I hope that's not some bad omen or anything! My favorite thing to do lately (Steven's too) is count down the days to our wedding. I think we started at 30 or something. Today marks 18 days to go and I have had Skid Row's "18 and Life" song in my head all morning, as though my pending marriage is some type of prison sentence. Oh, to be a child of the 80's is not always a good thing.

On the contrary...I couldn't be looking more forward to the big day! We are at a point now where all of the major stuff is in place and it's just the minor details. Boy, nobody ever told me those were the ones that would really forge the migraines! There's so much, my head has been spinning non-stop. I just want to be sure everything is in place so that I don't miss anything because the last thing I want to be doing is worrying about all of it on my wedding day! The plan (which I hope to execute perfectly!) is to not worry about anything. I know things won't go perfectly but I should still be able to perfectly enjoy the day. Today I get to go pick up my ring FINALLY! We picked it out over a month ago and have been chipping away at it slowly and today I will be able to make the final payment and pick the ring up! It was so good that I had to wait though, and even be ring-less for 3 out of 4 showers, because it has helped me focus on the things that really matter. I've never been material, but let's face it, a girl loves a diamond! It will just be fun to be 'officially' engaged for 18 days before the wedding. Well, 'official' as in the way the world looks at it. Ok, I want the bling and will be thrilled to have it!

Congratulations. I guess I thought that there was a slight chance that I would have received an invitation to your wedding, but I guess my assumptions were wrong. Best wishes to both of you! I hope your celebration is grand!
