Life Happens

Johnathan and I have been terribly lax with writing lately, and my only excuse is really that life has been happening. We realized that in less than a month, we’re getting married. The last few weeks has been a mass of calling family and arranging for hotels and figuring out when people will arrive and what they’ll do and where they’ll stay, and… a lot of things. My family is all coming in from out of town, so that’s been a minor headache. Honestly, though, in comparison to what a large wedding bash would have been, this is still low-key. Figuring out who is getting here on what day is incredibly minor, and I’m not stressing about it anymore since it’s pretty well all sorted. The low-stress wedding is going to go as planned, I feel very confident.

At 11AM on the 23rd of September, we’re going down to the local courthouse and getting married in a succinct civil ceremony while all of our parents and my best friend look on. We’re going to go to lunch at a nifty Italian restaurant afterward, then out to a bed and breakfast in the boonies (incidentally, it’s the one we got engaged at over a year ago). We’ll be at the bed and breakfast for two nights, which will be very lovely, and I’m looking forward to it a lot. Then it’s back home for some packing.

Why packing? Because as of October 1, our lease at our brand new apartment begins! We’ll be painting soon, which I’m very excited about, and then we’ll start officially moving in about mid-September. This place is a little bit smaller than where we’re at now, but in a good way, as far as I’m concerned. There will be less dead space in the room and since there will be less space overall, we’ll have to keep things a little bit neater. We’re both notorious clutterbugs, though I’d wager I’m a little bit worse than Johnathan is.

Fall is just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more excited about the prospect of things. Life is pretty good! I love this time of year so much, and a lot is happening for us. Hopefully 2008 will continue and finish out on a high note where it came in on a low one.
