(no subject)
am I complete nerd for being uber excited about the Elizabeth sequel (not to mention the national treasure one?) I'm sure I am.
Max got his shots this morning. He was not pleased in the least. However, the doctor said he's filling out nicely (I'm pretty sure in my expert opinion I could have told you that) He's a healthy weight, he's going to be very tall (yet again, with a mother who's 5'10 and a father who's 6'4....) She also said he's ahead in his vocal development and whatnot...which is cool because I'm hoping he starts to laugh early. He's already started squealing in delight when he sees something that amuses him.
I'm beginning to learn that planning a wedding really sucks. Marty and I are trying to find a nice place outside to get married in the spring, with some sort of a backup place in case it rains. Laurelwood, the sweet Llama farm, charges you 3,000 bucks just to use their property, and that's not counting flowers, cakes, chairs, tables, and everything else. I have to have the cheapest wedding in existance. I just want it to be outside because Marty and I love being outside...it's kind of our thing....and I want close friends and family to be there...because in all honesty, the idea of someone watching me do something that I consider really private and personal kind of freaks me out. Sometimes I just want to go down to the justice of the peace because I don't want anyone looking at me...haha...I'm sure that makes me weird. Also, the whole idea of a minister makes me uncomfortable as well, and most chapels only have a minister. Marriage is both legal and spiritual, but it's been a pagan tradition longer than it has been a christian one. (wearing the wedding ring on your left hand is a pagan tradition, the wedding ring itself is a pagan tradition...people have no idea about how pretty much every element involving a traditional wedding has nothing to do with the christian faith). I was raised in a church. I have nothing against it. But I just don't feel comfortable with bible verses or a minister talking about the "purity" of our union (because even if I choose to wear a white dress, no one will be whispering about whether or not I'm a virgin...I'd say at this point it's pretty obvious haha). I just know a Christian couple getting married would feel uncomfortable with a Hindu preist reciting words that had absolutely nothing to do with their spirituality or relationship period.
Oy. I'm gonna go wake Max up and feed him. Or maybe I'll let him sleep a little longer. He's going to be rather fussy, I imagine. You would too if you'd just been given four shots.
