As some of you do and do not know Matt and I have decided to make the marriage official. That means wedding, that means wedding dress. Ta dah!!!
I got fitted today for my dress and my mom actually didn't cry. Matt and I have made a lot of progress with her and the water works. She used to cry when we just said the word wedding. The wedding will be April 21 at 2:00 at Immanuel Lutheran Church here in Sierra Vista. We're only really doing it in a church for the families. A few years from now we will be holding the shinto-ish ceremony we wanted originally. This is mostly just for filling out the paper work more than anything else. Get this, Matt's parents might not be coming due to paranoia of police etc. I just don't get that but oh well. When have I ever. Well that's about it about the wedding for now. We have yet to get Matt's suit, we have ordered flowers and a few other things but that's about it for now.
Other things: Matt and I are doing ok here in SV with my parents. The house is hell I mean hell. My father hasn't taken out the garbage, beyond most of the hasmatable stuff, since my mom moved to the valley last July. It's downright scary and disgusting in most areas. I'm working at Blockbuster again to help pay all the bills. Come to find out that my financial supported wasn't really needed but the need for my mom to feel important and like she is needed and have something to do is more necessary than I thought and that has become our purpose of living here, beyond making the house habitable by human beings. We have mostly been working on the wedding with my mother and she is throwing me a wedding shower. That's about it.
