LOL!
Don't worry...I am well aware that I am never on this thing, and that now all I talk about is the wedding. This is not news to me. ;-) I am sorry if I bore you to tears, though, I really am.
SPEAKING of the wedding (LOL what'd I tell ya??), everything is going well! SUPER busy, though, and it never really stops. That is AOK, though, although it is a little stressful with fitting school in there as well.
Oh hey, before I forget, visit this if you would like to & are interested:

Anyways...what was I saying? (LOL!) ..... oh yeah. Work isn't a big deal at all, but, for example, my room has not been cleaned in FOREVER, and every spare moment I've got is spent either planning (wedding), budgeting, napping (LOL), studying/writing a paper/researching, family time or Sean time, GOD time, or working. That takes up all my time right there. I'm not upset or bitter, but I'd like to have a little more time to get things like that done, though (it's not fun living in a pit!). Oh, well. That time will come. Christmas is almost here, anyway! Now THAT is hard to believe....
God's hand and presence is being shown so greatly in my life right now, though. Not only is He providing financially for everything right now (like taking away my car, so I'm depending on people who really are acting fine as being my transportation, which is taking away gas money as well as insurance for the time being!), but by His guiding I was able to get the 2 mornings at work I was hoping for (which is AWESOME, because it is extra money, I can work with my mama, AND I can have those evenings free). Also, we were asking for wisdom for 3 things: where to find our home church, to know whether to get this car or not, and whether or not this particular apartment place was meant for us. All last weekend, He provided a "no" answer to every single one we looked at, and I've never seen His "no" be so clear like that before!! It was really cool! It was hard, yes, to give up this car we were looking at (we had to turn it down because we'd have to have it fully covered with insurance ON TOP of a monthly payment - not good), and the same thing with the apartment place....but it's also SO COOL, becuase not only does it remind us that He DOES care, and that He is taking care of everything, but it reminds us that we don't always have to have the answers. Sometimes all we have to do is trust, and be vulnerable, and He will lead and carry us. I am totally okay with living in not the most perfect apartment. A little while ago, I wouldn't have been. But now I'm okay with being broke and being with my honey. :-) But I think it will actually lead us to where we'll be more financially content, but still be emotionally and spiritually content, too. Giving up claims and cares about money takes a lot of stress off of a person, and provides a much happier outlook on life!
Yeah, so all together, things are going along pretty well. God really is so good. May we always bring Him all the glory and praise He deserves. :-) If you think to, pray for everyone's emotional well-being (those affected by the wedding, such as family members)
I also tested out a Kermit-the-Frog (looking) rubber glove-like oven mit today at Bed, Bath and Beyond....it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. Had it not been almost $8, I would have gotten it!! *we [Mama and I] DID get a keychain quacking rubber duck flashlight, though.* ;-)
