the month of november has finally arrived...which marks 6 months before the wedding. the planning is in full swing, more so than ever before. i have been able to get a lot of things done. my to-do-list is getting shorter and shorter...thank GOD. i never thought i would see the light at the end of this tunnel. planning a wedding by yourself is f-ing difficult. i dont recommend it to anyone...so all you young boys and gals, start saving for a wedding planner...cause them bitches are expensive. to date...i only have to pick out invitations and tuxedos...and minor odds and ends that wont take long.
this thursday i am taking my girls in to get fitted for their dresses...and that in itself will be a huge relief, cause that means that the tuxedos will be next. however, i need to get on danny about making time to go pick out invites soon. the boy lags sometimes. i cant wait till all this planning is done and over with. seriously! i dont understand how people can do this for a living...but i guess if the price is right then all else doesnt really matter.
this month, i have another huge event happening in my life. i will, for the first time, be meeting my future in-laws. man that has a weird ring to it. i've only talked to donna twice and roger once. we are spending about 5 whole days over there. i just hope that things go well. i know that the wedding may be an issue with it being catholic and large. i just dont want to have to feel that i have to defend my ways when i get to colorado. there's a part of me thats already building that wall of defense...why? i'm not sure. i guess its because i dont know what to expect. i do know that this trip will probably not be hunky dory as most trips. there's a dominant feeling of nervousness and uneasiness that lingers within me. i hope for my sake, that i'm just over reacting.
i guess in a sense, i dont have that excited feel with the wedding as i thought i would have. dont get me wrong, but theres a bone or two in my body thats excited...and well...the other bones...arent really...they dont know what to feel. it seems, sometimes, that its a waste of time and just a hassle with everyone. one family wants large, the other family wants small. one family is religious, the other is not. i wonder if this will cause major problems between the families as the wedding approaches and even later down the line in the future. i dont have answers to that, and thats probably what scares me the most.
back to thanksgiving...this is my first thanksgiving with danny's family. so it will be fun to see what his family does for thanksgiving. i hear that card games are a biggie. i hope all goes well. i know he's really excited to go home for thanksgiving. he's excited to see family again and to just soak in the mountain scape that he grew up with. it'll be nice to see him relax in his own mountain man world. he needs a breather...i hope this trip will relax him.
