yay or nay

I know I promised a blog about teen leaders, but I think I have to pass on it this week. Time is flying by now probably because i have been soooo busy!! I cant believe I'm getting married in 1 month and 29 days! Do you believe that crap? I still have some things to do, like my homework for the minister who's marrying us. We both have to write something down about why we love each other and why we chose each other. Who has the time?

I also have to write some stuff down for the DJ, but that can wait a couple more weeks. Other than that though, I really have decided not to make a big fuss over the details. I wasn't completely thrilled with having a big wedding (if 100 people is big by today's standards), but I know Rob really wanted one and I suppose it is kinda fun! We really tried to do the bare minimum with the exception of the photographer (big surprise there!) and I told him I wanted to hire a make-up and hair person to come to the house that morning..... 'It's supposed to be a relaxing day for me, so I want to get ready at home'.

Those were my only two stipulations. Pretty much everything else just kinda came together.

We got our first gift by mail today. My cousin's wife sent us a nice corningware set with a carrying case - i guess she cant make the shower. I know the shower is coming soon, but not sure what day it is. And to be perfectly honest I dont want to know. I am being a bad girl and peeking at my registry now and then. I know I know... its bad, but i cant help myself.

Most of all, I am looking forward to spending my life with Rob - a sweet, loving, hard-working man who adores me. We laugh so much together and it has definitely made an impact on our love. I highly recommend laughing with your spouse at every opportunity!

Yeah, it definitely does. The past 4 1/2 yrs went so fast,it's like a blur. Try to ENJOY the ride! I know that's hard sometimes when you're in the middle of the rush of it all.
