The Past Year

Jump to Comments

Wow it’s been a long time since I have blogged. . . A lot has happened in the past year and then again a lot is the same. I still work at the same place, I still live with Brian in our little ghetto apartment, my family is still in TX, Brian’s foot still hasn’t healed from the toe amputation. . . I could list more things but I’m sure your more interested in the changes.

I guess the biggest change is that I am getting married in 3 weeks. Yep you read right, I’m getting married. In July of last year right before a trip to TX  to visit the family Brian proposed to me. It was nothing spectacular like you see in the movies but it was definitely earth shattering and life changing. Since then things have been pretty crazy and they only get crazier the closer we get to the “big day”. I am to the point now that I wish it would just get here all ready so I can get on with my life. I feel like I am totally alone in the planning even though I am getting help from several people because I am always the one that has to make the final decisions and organize everything. It’s all resting on my shoulders and the weight is killing me. I had to go to the Dr. last week to get some muscle relaxers because I am carrying all my stress in my neck and shoulders and I was one big knot. Over all things are coming together nicely but I am having trouble with enough things to feel like I’m going crazy. The biggest thing right now is my dress yes 3 weeks away from my wedding and I don’t have a dress. Or rather it is still in pieces. Jen, a lady from church, offered to sew our outfits as a wedding gift since we are having a Renaissance wedding and were having trouble finding outfits we liked and could afford. At first I thought it was the greatest thing to happen for the wedding but now I am having serious doubts. See she didn’t even start sewing my dress until last week. Partly because of problems she had with Brian’s outfit including him gaining weight and needing the top let out, partly from her personal life, and partly because she is totally and completely flighty and can’t focus on one thing for more then 5 sec. People warned me about this, as soon as I told them who was making the outfits the cringed. I stood up for her and gave her the benefit of the doubt but now I’m wondering if I made the right choice. To late to second guess myself though. All I can do is cross my fingers and pray I will have a dress come wedding day.
