saturday - yay
okay - so not working is weird. i'm loving it to bits, but it's totally and completely weird. i'm finally getting a lot done, and i'm getting into the groove of not working. i'm hoping that this continues through the rest of the month (to be completely honest), and then i'll be gone half of november, so i will theoretically have a 2 month break from work, which has been really hard, but is becoming really nice.
as far as the packing is concerned, the queen sized bed is broken down and ready to go to storage. i have the entire right side of my closet, floor to ceiling, packed and ready to go. all of my clothes are sorted between what i wear and what i don't, and i've thrown a lot of stuff out, which is a positive. i'm tons farther than craig thought i'd be, and i'm glad of that. i've managed to continue to move forward and get stuff done, and he's happy, and i'm happy, and we're all just happy.
today, we are all going to meet the coordinator at the church. my mom, dad, future mil, moh, and 1 b/m are coming. oh, plus me and craig of course. the moh and bm are going to try to make it, but it was really short notice. i would just like to have them there for bouncing ideas off of.
last night, craig and i had our romantic date with no wedding talk. but before that, we went to the tux shop, and got his tuxes figured out - including his measuring, cuff links, shoes, and the actual tux. it was really quick, and a lot of fun. then we went to dinner at this wonderful little restaurant and it was so, SO good. i did splurge and have a dr. pepper - but it's the last one for a long time - really. lol anyway, we left there and what did we do? i think we wound up back at my house, and we just talked for a long time, and watched t.v. it was really, really nice. and i was really surprised at how hard it was to not talk about the wedding. i suppose that it's the same for when a couple goes out that has kids - all they talk about is the kids...because that's the biggest thing in their life. hmm. anyway...
so, now, i'm debating going to the dr., since craig is going to his. i need to drop off my parents invitation. yay. :D i'm excited to go up there - i was in the shower and started singing this song from when my brother was in kindergarten homeschooling. it's the cutest song about a squid - and it just really made me sad. i want to go in rewind, and relive those days - even though i was Angsty Teenager, i really valued the time that my family had together. and i miss it terribly.
i love my sheets. and not just a little. i had yellow sheets on my bed since i was 16 - the first set was 210, but the second set was 380 or 410, and it was absolutely AMAZING. it was one of the first things i bought with my graduation money. anyway, a couple of weeks ago, they had just decided they had it, and ripped in a super-soft spot, where it was clearly way-past-worn. and then it ripped in a couple of more places. crushed! so, i had to go to wal-mart, but they didn't have any! i prayed on the way to target that they would have the sheets i wanted in an awesome thread count, in a beautiful color, on sale. and you know what? they did! they had these gorgeous brown sheets - egyptian cotton - on sale for 15.00 for the fitted sheet, and 15.00 for the flat sheet! i was so excited. especially since i had spent 110.00 on the yellow ones years ago.
anyway, okay, so i should probably go. it's only 72 out - and it's almost 10 a.m. it might actually be a nice cool day. my moh assures me that the temperature breaks every year on october 31st (and i believe her since that's the day that her daughter passed away) - so i'm going to stick with that - but it's still been in the 90's, if not 100+ still into october. i think it's cooler today because it rained yesterday, and the day before that.
really, i love you all. i know i've been saying that a lot lately, but it's just that i'm really grateful for the people on my friends list on this journal. i love reading about your daily lives, and i love the encouragment when things are hard. you are all exactly what i need, when i need it. i love you! :D
