Another year has passed and I’m another year wiser. I tend to forget my birthdays when they come around it seems, but always nice when I remember. Brian and I are headed to Hartselle this weekend to celebrate with the family. I think this year Emma has deemed I need a “pet” cake. I told DeAnne she needed to do a Sunni cake. Now that would be cute. Its fun each year to see what Emma comes up with for everyone’s cake.
I’m learning quickly that planning a wedding while working full time is not easy! Not that there is a lot to do just yet (just the big stuff) and thankfully my work place allows us to leave and run errands when we need to, but it’s the remembering to do everything is what I’m dealing with right now. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a BIG list maker but that doesn’t always work when you have about 100 other things going on and on your list. I just have to remember to look at my list and do it right then otherwise I forget. I’m hoping to nail down the photographer, florist, and caterer this week. If I can get 2 out of 3 I’ll be happy. The florist I know who I’m using, just have to go back and set it in stone and the photographer I’m meeting with one more this week and then make my decision. The caterers I can’t seem to get them to call me back, so I’m just going to go in person today and see them. I have on block of hotel rooms set aside and waiting to hear back today to see where the other will be (either Hampton Inn or Days Inn). I have a number to call about a cake maker as well this week. Once all that is set, I hope it won’t be as bad. I keep waking up at 4AM each day during the week. Weekends I’m good most of the time. I’m not even that stressed about the wedding, but I guess my mind is going 90 to nothing and I don’t know it. I really hope this does not last for the next 8 months.
In addition to planning a wedding, we are very close to getting the house we first liked when we started looking at houses. Offer has been made, countered, we countered and now we wait. Only thing that is worrying us is that they said (when they countered) they wanted to have an estate sale in 4 weeks, but Brian needs to be in the house no later than September 28th. Their agent told a friend of ours that the date shouldn’t be a problem that it will happen. So in the next few months we will be working on the house to get it in shape. My plan is that if I get stressed on wedding stuff, the house will be a good distraction and stress reliever.
