wedding planning..never ending

Tuesday, August 19th, 2003

Well I left my last entry to be continued but since I don’t care to continue that long story =) i’ll just say what’s new.

Patrick and I moved into a new apartment, finally a 2 bedroom one. Living in a 1 bedroom apartment with 2 computers in your living room isn’t exactly the most comfy and inviting place. Now we have an “office” and a living room so we can actually maybe have people over. It’s really nice but the move was stressful and frustrating. Boy, does that really test your patient with your significant other. hehe Men are more worried about their toys then helping with the packing. One track mind “how we going to get the tv moved safely?” We did have help from friends with the heavy stuff but as I know …moving even the little stuff isn’t fun. In fact the big stuff is easier…it’s the little things that pile up and especially when they aren’t pack. /grumbles at her man’s lack of packing skill. I’m convinced next time I move it has to be more organized and possibly hiring people!

We did send in paperwork for preapproval for a house. It’s in a newly growing area just outside the place we live now. So about 8 – 10 mins from here. The house would be built next spring / summer so possibly before we got married. Perfect timing really to move into a new house right around our wedding or i’d prefer right after it. It’s a 3 bedroom house and great to start with imo.

The wedding planning is going..slowly but going. I’m going to try on wedding dresses this week..I think. If I have the guts to. I know it should be exciting but i’m so far away from friends and family to really have fun with it. I’m taking a girlfriend from work with me so maybe that will help make it more fun then sad. The contract and deposit is down for our ceremony/reception spot. The contract is signed for our DJ and i’m waiting on my photographer contract. Only thing I need to work on more is my flowers although I do have some quotes and a few people to call that I was referred to.

Work is going, but stressful at times. Sometimes I have to much for one day to handle…but guess that goes with any job. I am starting back in some classes this next week. Some computer, web design and accounting classes. Not trying to do much but school, work and planning a wedding sure is going to test me some.

Well back to work for me…the fun part of life? no thanks

oh joy!
