First off, let me just say: life is good. I am a happy, blessed woman. I like a good challenge and I'm definitely getting several of them right now.
Stephen left on Sunday to go back to Cali and I think I started crying about it sometime on Friday (or was it Thursday?). I'm not usually one to cry but just the thought of not being able to see him for a while about killed me. Oh well. I have got SO many things going on right now I don''t even know how I have time to miss him so much. But I do.
While I'm somewhat intimidated by the wedding planning to be done, I'm starting to have a little better perspective on it than I had this time last week so I'm not completely panicking. (Wow. That word has a "k" in it.) I will rest easier when I have a place for a reception and my dress picked out. Those are the two big items right now.
Other than that: I'm finally scheduled to speak at the Rotary Club about my trip to Thailand. They've been moving me around on the schedule for months now so they had set me up for August 30th, but then called back to change it to July 26. Yeah. Okay. Sure, I've got time to prepare a presentation. Of course, this is an obligation I committed to before I ever went on the trip, but I really wish I could have presented months ago when the trip was fresh on my mind, I wasn't planning a wedding, and I wasn't about to go insane at work...which is another story for another time.
All that, and it hit me the other day that during wedding crunch time, I have to gather all my worldly belongings and get them ready to move across the country.
Even though I'm feeling rather overwhelmed, these are all good problems to have.
When it rains, it pours.
It IS always something, isn't it. and in fact it is not just raining right now, it's pouring. But it was less than an hour ago that it was unbearably hot and all our grass and flowers were wilty and begging for the rain, and about two hours before that it was so foggy and damp and chilly that we were wondering if the sun was going to even come out at all today. A bit more trifling, but similar. Really planning a wedding or just doing a cake are WAY hard things. And it truely is always something. I'd love to take any load off that I can. Love you tons
