Particulars of life
So... this month has been bad. Like, really frustratingly bad. It's nothing that is Earth shattering, or traumatic, things just added up and it was like juggling on a tightrope. Blindfolded. With chainsaws. Things are finally starting to smooth out.
I had my best friend back out of coming to my wedding (64 days and counting!) which left me without a MOH & flower girl in one fell swoop. I have to make/buy stuff for my wedding, make sure I have bought everything major (space, DJ's, catering, etc), my honeymoon... it's a lot of money that I'm spending all at once. While I'm OK (this is why I am so happy I am a saver), it's unnerving to be putting this much out all at once. Makes my eyes twitch. Also, I discovered I have to plan my own bridal shower and bachelorette party. My MOH was in Ohio so she wasn't going to do it anyways and my bridesmaids are already really busy.
In addition to the wedding, I've had to take on finding a place for Rey & I to move in to. Since we are moving to my neck of the woods and he's in Santa Clara; works in San Mateo - him looking was going to be crazy hard.
Rey's life isn't coming up roses either. Work is stressful. It's not my story to tell, but they're riding him pretty hard. On top of this, his car is really starting to show it's displeasure of being neglected. He didn't pass smog, alternator recently died and had to be replaced, flat tires... It was really mad. So mad, it died on the freeway at 9pm and I had to get him because his AAA had lapsed too.
On the plus side, things are letting up for me. Wedding stuff is getting done. The honeymoon is paid for, much of my decorations are coming in, I have craft days/sip & bitch in place, we have found a replacement for the ring bearer/flower girl, and my mother has graciously offered to take the bridal shower off my hands (because apparently, the bride planning her own bridal shower is tacky).
I found a house!!! That in itself was a total God moment. It was the 1st house I found (go figure). I looked around for months because when I originally inquired about it, they said that a move in date of Sept first was too long to wait for. But it just... stayed open. So when I inquired more recently, they let me take a look, and I immediately fell in love with it. We applied and *poof* house! It was the only place we put up more than paperwork in to and I am so happy we have this.
So... next hurdles: Packing, moving, finding a fridge, washer, and dryer for the new place.
We knew something had to give soon. Rey and I were red lining on patience, tolerance, and ability to continue. And since our minds have been LONG gone, we knew it had to be something else.
OK universe, let's get along now for awhile. K?
