okay, so I have a little time to talk...
Life plans for the next two - five years :
Get lisenced
get handfasted
internship
graduate
(buy house and land sometime btween getting handfasted and getting married)
get a decent job that will further my career
get married
have babies!...
and other big things for a little bit later, like having mom move in with us permenantly, fixing up her old house and renting it out, opening up my own business... And these things are just the mundane things. And of course, there's TONS of little lifestyle changes that will be happening, and other decisions. But most have already been made for me, so now I just have to follow the game plan. It's impossible to talk about everything that I'll be doing on the spiritual level really because to be honest, I've been trying to wrap my head around it for a month or so now, and I'm still not sure if I understand it all yet - not to mention the sudden, okay, this is how it's going to be thing from a special friend of mine.
Busy busy bee, busy busy bee...
Now, about the wedding plans.
As most of you guys know, me and Tj have gone around and around the bush about this subject.... this is one of the reasons that we've waited so long to start with. We at first wanted two weddings, then we thinking a combined one, then we were thinking of just eloping. We're back to the two wedding scheme - and we're sticking to it. For the sake of brevity I'll not go into how I came to this decision, but merely the decision itself.
We're going to have a Handfasting here in Columbus, locationTBA, on June 20th, 2008. Invites will be forthcoming in the coming months. We'll be having a traditional Honeymoon... meaning that we'll be drinking mead everyday for an entire month. :) Can't really talk about the logistics of the ceremony/reception just yet, because I want it to be a surpise and be enjoyable for our guests (meaning, you guys). But you'll love it, and I'm going to love it, and Ingvi will love it. For me, though this one will be far more simplistic than the Civil wedding, this will be the most important thing for me, for this will be when Freyr bestows his blessings upon our marriage and life together.
And....we're going to have a Civil (as it can get to be fair to TJ) Wedding in Chillicothe, for family, on June 21st, 2009. Which I'll probably be talking about ALOT over the next year just to get everything ironed out in my head. Deal is, we're going to have a real wedding, and forget about being afraid of Tj's dysfunctional families. They'll just have to live with it, or live without us. They can stuff and freaking sock in it for one damned day. I'll be flipping the bill for the wedding and reception and all that that entails, and Tj is going to pay for our Honeymoon vacation. This wedding will be taking place almost immediately after I graduate... which is perfect in my opinion, and very practical too.
I don't know if any of that made sense, but I've got go, so catch you later.
