When I am older and hopefully have a daughter about to be married I will look back and think about what the time before my own marriage was like. Two words will probably jump straight to my mind...Panic....and Attack! So I have less than 4 weeks to go right now... YEAY because I honestly can't wait to be married and DOUBLE YEAY because all this crap will be OVER! I'm glad I did things the way I did with my wedding but if I had to do all over again I would probably NOT do it the same way. I'm proud of the things my mother and I have made and am grateful for the time I've gotten to spend with her but somedays I wish I had just let someone else handle all the details. Really and truly I am ready for the wedding....its the whole "having to move two hours away and clean my apartment while trying to finish everything for the wedding and look for a new job all in less than four weeks" bit that has me quite flustrated!
It would be one thing if I could just pack EVERYTHING up and sort it out after I got moved.....but NOOOOO...things can't possibly be THAT easy! Instead I'm having to try to figure out how to get rid of a couch, a kitchen table, two bookshelves, a computer table, and exercise bike, a microwave, and other assorted things. You see I've lived in my apartment for the last 2 years and been "out of the house" for 6 almost 7 years so I've accumulated a lot of crap. I'm a hoarder...I admit it..... Then there is my fiance who has been "out of the house" for....mmm....10 years or so.....he's a hoarder.....can you see where this is leading?!
I've even gotten to the point where I just want to throw EVERYTHING (except for the pink tub full of momentos) away! Thankfully I only have four more days of work left and a busy weekendd and then the next week I only have a hair appointment before I can truly sit down and pack before running two hours away one day to unload crap at the new place and then I have a weekend of meeting with the preacher one last time and moving ABSOLUTELY everything that is left then three days of cleaning followed by a bachelorette party and the then its the week of the wedding and why did I think I had enough time for all of this!?

Yea, I'm actually glad I was working 50/60 hour weeks before the wedding, because I had 0 time to stress about anything. What happened, simply happend. Thanks to my momma and my wonderful family, it came together with little help of me. Plus having 1 1/2 years to get it all semi-planned, helped. At times I feel like I missed out on some of it, but it turned out great, so *pfft* I don't care. :o)
ReplyDeleteAnd this is why we need massages before your wedding. :o)

ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteJust remember that everything will fall into place perfectly. and if it doesn't, then those are the little things that you will remember most about the special day. Slow down and realize that you will get everything done in the amount of time you have. I have faith in you and your mom everything is going to work out great!!!!
