Wow... it's been much too long since my last post. I've just been busy or tired or lazy. Probably lazy mostly. I had such high hopes for my blog. I guess it's not a completely lost cause just yet. Much has happened since my last post.
The biggest news is of course my engagement! I never, ever thought I'd be saying those words again. It's been a very tumultuous couple of years and sometimes I worry it's too soon, but at the same time, it all just came about so easily. The proposal was amazingly a bit of a surprise, simple, and sweet. I will be making him re-propose when he originally planned to though.
We are heading to California for vacation soon and that was his original idea to propose to me, but he got a bit antsy and I wasn't being exactly cooperative so it came about a bit sooner. It made me so happy. I also feel like I might go join the circus now too. I keep wondering what am I getting myself into again? I love my life with him, but of course I worry that I might mess up again. I can't go through all of this again. I think this life will work though. Marriage is a different thing to me now and I'm older and wiser... well I'm at least older.
I can't stop staring at the ring and I'm now in total planning mode. I didn't think I'd get this excited about planning a wedding again and we decided we would keep it small, but it's not stopping the hamster from running full speed in his little wheel in my head. I've bought the magazines and I peruse the websites all day. It's a bit sad.
I cannot believe how out of control wedding prices have become though. I'm in the wrong business! Even to have an intimate wedding I may have to sell some body parts. I don't know how they justify it, but I guess we silly woman-folk keep convincing people to let us do this, so they can keep charging outlandish prices for napkins and personalized mints. When will we learn?
Wahoo!!! Excuse me while I go watch the YouTube video you've brought to mind...
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm back.
I'd stay away from the personalized mints. :)
I'll say it again, just cause I'm so happy for you... CONGRATULATIONS!! Ok, there.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say, not knowing the past situation, is try not to make the same mistakes or errors again. That means you really are wiser, not just older. What if you make new mistakes? Well hell, we all do that! The most important thing I think you can keep in mind while you plan the perfect day is just that when it all boils down to it, your happiness is what counts. (after Noah of course!) So, if you love the new life, the new man, the new future then go for it with everything you have cause so many don't get a second chance. :D
And yes I second that... leave the mints with the mint faeries.
"go for it with everything you have cause so many don't get a second chance"
ReplyDeleteGood advice, Karen, even for those of us who haven't taken a chance for the first time yet.
