A Really Long Time

So the title of this blog entry takes on a double meaning. One being that it has been a really really long time since I have posted a new blog entry. As time has gotten closer to our wedding date I have gotten really busy. I rarely have time to be on the internet and when I do it is to quickly check my email or pay bills and then off to do more wedding stuff. Today Karen came over to pick up all of our stuff for the reception (she will be coordinating all of the setup and decorating for our reception) and I am really excited to she how all of it ends up looking. I immediately felt a sense of relief passing piles and boxes full of stuff into her hands. It was so weird watching our living room slowly being cleared of wedding stuff that has been stacking up in it over the past several months. But I do have a huge sense of accomplishment knowing that everything dealing with the reception is firmly set in place and nothing...and I mean absolutely nothing else needs to be done.

Also, Adam and I have been engaged for a really really long time. To refresh everyone's memory we have been engaged since November 4, 2007. That is one year and three days today! That is a really really long time. It seems funny to me because you would think with a year of planning behind us that everything would have been done and over with a month or two ago. Well, it amazes me everyday what new and unexpected things pop up that need to be done. This is not at all in a negative way, simply an unexpected way.

We have waited a really really long time to get married. Like I said we have been engaged for over a year now and that is a pretty long engagement. We have been planning for our special day and now it is right around the corner. Adam and I were talking tonight after our wedding rehearsal. It is interesting because both of us feel like it is still so far off. But its not and I am wondering when it will all seem real (I am making a bet with myself that it won't until I am standing at the top of the aisle with my dad waiting for "here comes the bride" to cue my entrance.) I'll let you know in a few days if I win that bet...
