since my last post. :-) I admit it's a combination of busyness and laziness. Haha! Mainly I've been working away and working on what details I can of the wedding. I think I'm stressing out because I feel like I should be doing more. You know, I plan as much as I could in advance so that I don't stress and yet, I still end up stressing out. Go figure! Ha ha! Well I guess it's good I did anyways so that it's minimized my "Bridezilla" moments. So far everyone is still talking to me so I take that as a good sign! :-)
Now onto a tangent...About 7-8 months ago, Jon's car went caput. Well, it still drove but just barely. We've just had it parked out front waiting on what to do with it. Do we fix it? Do we donate it? Then 2 days ago, my boss happened to ask if I heard about the Cash For Clunkers Program. Really? The main trick was that your average MPG had to be 18 or worse and you would use the credit towards a brand new, more efficient car. Originally I brought in my Acura but found out it was too fuel efficient. So I came home a little deflated about not getting a new car but I figured, well it's not like I really needed one. Jon is the one needing one. When the time is right, we will figure it out.
Well Jon at this point was intrigued. SO he did more research and found out HIS car was eligible! SO back to the dealerships we go. We debated so much on whether to do it or not. But in the end, we got $4500 for his junky car where we might've been lucky to get close to $1000 for donating it. Jon has me driving around the new car and he's taken over my Acura. LoL! So now we are proud owners of our first "family" car... a Honda Fit Sport! My future mother in law is already dreaming of the day when we start piling strollers and all that baby goodness into it. Haha!
Now onto another tangent, or rather back to the wedding. LoL! The closer I get to the wedding, the more I feel like I have ADD. Perhaps it was waiting, dormant, waiting to be triggered by the right circumstances! :-) Anyhoo, I can't believe that as I write this, the clock turns to midnight and it's officially August! One month and 19 days and I'll be a married woman! The last few months I've become more emotional. I picture little aspects of the day and I tear up. I read little sentiments in a magazine while I dream up the perfect quote to etch onto our toasting flutes, and I feel the need to grab a tissue.
When did I get so girly?!? This was NOT part of the deal! :-p But I take it all in stride and hope that it's just a phase. After all, I don't want to ruin my new MAC mascara! LoL! I'm not so much scared but just excited and full of wonder of what our joint life will be like? It's an entirely new chapter to my life to be sharing it with someone so intimately. To be with someone that I love and to share everything with him. To be with someone through all the surprises the future may have in store. To let someone in and not have any secrets, not holding back. THis is me, all of me.
And you know what?
I can't wait!
