first post of the year
So, the wedding is in t minus a month and three days.
We have, ah... the dress purchased. My shoes purchased. Locales arranged, but not payed for. An offer to buy flowers, but haven't had a talk with the person who offered yet...it just hasn't been convinient. I think one bridesmaid has her dress picked. The guys arranged for their tuxes. We had a dancing lesson, the boys have been practicing the music they'll play...
My family won't be able to come. We won't have a photographer, so I still need to figure out which friends won't be in the wedding party so I can talk them into taking pictures, and make sure they actually GET to me afterwards. If this wedding planning foolishness has shown me anything, it's that you can't trust other people with things, and it's aggrivating as HELL to not be able to complete things yourself.
I have yet to talk to the gentleman who will be officiating, or even hear his name. We haven't gotten the marriage license yet.
....
I am not panicking. Really.
In other news: Still working at the elementary school. I am amused at the kinds of pixie treasure I find myself getting from the kids, and by how disturbed and yet thrilled they are at the idea that in a few weeks "Miss C." will be going by an entirely different name. It is somewhat cute to have a wide-eyed little gal come up to you and be like "Miss C, what will happen if I forget your new name? Will you still answer?"
Brandon laughed when I told him about this. He thought it was cute that the kids have trouble realizing I won't forget my maiden name. I already had one fifth grade boy who likes to chat with me during his breaks tell me he will still call me Miss C, even after the name change, because that's who I am.
Boo's just as crazy a dog as ever, we've been gaming with the boys a great deal, and that's about it.
