my lovely bride to be (
marshnly) just posted a little update, and it made me realize i haven't posted here in a looooooooooooooooooong time. guess now's a perfect opportunity.
as she said over in her blog, the wedding plans are moving forward at a pretty fast rate. it's odd not being there to help her with all the foot work. on my end, i've been designing a little book we're going to be giving out as gifts, and also working on other elements of graphic design. the place markers, the invitations, all that jazz. also, i've been working with the headache that it gathering up paperwork. while getting the birth certificate was easy, getting the apostille is being a bit more of a headache. largely because it has to come from salem. on friday, i tried to go down there to deal with it myself. figured it'd be nice to get it and send it to maruška in the same day. turns out, amtrak is woefully unable to control its schedule, and a union pacific train caused us to be 1.5 hours late. so, i arrived in salem at 5 pm, when the offices closed down. ...yay... no matter, i'll just mail it in on monday, it's just the day was a little dampened by how late the train was.
fast started recently, and it's being nice going through it again. these times of spiritual rejuvenation are really nice to experience. wish i could have a cup of coffee, though...
