Ain't Life Peculiar?

This morning, as I was taking my daily jaunt to my page on "The Knot" I was just struck with the absurdity that life can sometimes bring. Perhaps that isn't the right word, providential might be more in line with my train of thought here? When Steven and I started dating last August I began dreaming of our wedding day (things really did happen that quickly) and after his proposal in September I decided to go to "The Knot" and start our fictitious page. I entered a 'fictitious' wedding date, aiming for September of '08 and began to dream some more, all the while questioning whether or not we would really make it there. This morning I went to the page (my favorite thing to do for the past couple weeks) to look at our lucky number and was struck by how crazy life can be...the number no longer read 100+ but NINE (that's right, the number between 8 and 10) and it's no longer a 'fictitious' number but an ACTUAL number. And it is no longer visited only by yours truly, but by many friends and family members as well, who are all counting down and preparing for the big celebration with us! Who woulda thunk? At the time of Steven's proposal I thought a year from then was going to be too soon and here we are just 8 months later, ready to do the deed. I couldn't be more thrilled, even in the face of such peculiarities!
