Better

Although still not 100%. I'm sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's office waiting to be seen. It's funny. Somehow I always seems to have a complete and total melt down the day before I have this appointment. Every month, like clockwork. Now, I had forgotten about this appointment until about 2 hours ago so I don't think the two are related. Just a coincidence perhaps. I've had a really, really rough week and it seems a lot of other people are having horrible weeks as well which is odd. Almost like the universe is out of balance or something cosmic-y is going on. A friend of mine from work has been in and out of the hospital the past week with her father in law who keeps falling and breaking his hip. This last time the doctor has decided he is not going to operate so we have to hope and pray it heals on its own.


It made me start thinking about my soon to be father in law, who passed away in September. It breaks my heart that he won't be at our wedding. Some days I almost get mad at him for not taking care of himself so he could be there. When we were going through all of the paperwork after he passed we ran across a physical he had gotten from a doctor that had recommended a trip to the doctor asap. It was from 4 years ago. We wonder if he kind of knew his end was near...


This of course makes me think of my own father and what I am going to do when his time comes. I worry that he won't make it to see his grandkids grow up, kind of like my aunt and uncle on his side didn't get to see their grandkids grow up. I guess that is one disadvantage to having children later in life.


Hubs wants to have children right away, however, I want to wait a year or so. He's already been married once and has a child with his ex-wife. I sometimes feel like I'm being short changed because he's already been there done that. Whereas I want to get married and bask in the married-ness and travel etc etc he wants to jump right into having kids. I guess I should just be thankful he even wants children.


Trying to keep my head above water this week which has been extremely difficult. Too much stress along with not enough sleep is apparently making me an unbearable person to live with. Hopefully after my melt down last night things will only start to look up! Headed in to see the doc now! :0) <3

Be a better spouse challenge Day 1: Let bygones be bygones


Wondering how difficult this will be.


Totally up for the challenge though.

Yeah, soooooooo, I've had a serious case of Cranker McCrankerpants the last few days.  It seems like all of a sudden the wedding vendors all want to be arseholes.  With only 11 days to go until the Big Day I'm in total freak the freaking a out mode.  Which, in terms of hubs, does not bode well, poor thing.  He gets to endure my rath, which, for the last two days has been unbearable even to me.


Saturday started off with a phone call from the venue who kindly informed me that the rehearsal dinner that we had already had to change due to their scheduling conflicts was going to have to change again.  Because the VP of the restaurant decided that they were going to change their plans from the next Monday to the Thursday before.  The.Day.Of.Our.Rehearsal.Dinner.  And the restaurant was going to be closed.  Even though I already had plans to have dinner there....


THEN, we followed that up with trip to the florist....who was running late...and hubs and I waited for at least thirty minutes.  While we were standing there waiting I received a phone call from the photographer who informed me that OH YEAH!  BY THE WAY!  The person who filled out and signed your contract did it WRONG and we are going to have to charge you MORE!  THAN!  THE!  SIGNED!  CONTRACT!  Good times...good times....


After I get off of the phone with the photographer the florist shows up and proceeds to tell me that yeah, he's not going to be able to have my flowers delivered on the day of the wedding.  That someone is going to have to pick up the flowers.  On the day of the wedding.  Because we don't have enough to do right now or the day of.....really????


So, yeah, a little stressed out at the moment.....grrrrrrrr......11 more days....11 more days......11 more days.....11 more days......

Etiquette Schmetiquette

I don't understand why people do not send thank you notes anymore.  I know I sound very old fashioned saying that.  Now don't get me wrong, I understand that sending out a thank you note for every.little.thing. would become extremely obnoxious and tedious.  I mean, sending out thank you notes for the big stuff.


Like for the gifts you receive when you get married.


Or when someone goes out of their way to do something nice for you.


I have girlfriends that have been married for months and even years and still have not sent out their thank you notes.  I just don't get it.


Also, how come no one RSVP's anymore?  Seriously, the card has a stamp on it already, more than likely is already addressed with the name and address of the person it needs to be returned to and yet people do not send them back.  People have spend their hard earned money to buy those stamps, dangit use them!


Now, I understand that if a friend throws you a party or something that maybe not everyone knows your friend, but at least let SOMEONE know you are either coming or not coming.


So, the point of my ramblings and such?  If someone sends you an RSVP, please send it back.  It saves a lot of OMG stress.  Besides, we LOVE getting them in the mail, it's fun! ;0)

Wedding Invitations

We ordered our wedding invitations through Alfred Angelo from a book that we borrowed from Al's Formal Wear.  The book was called "Exclusive Collection 2, Beyond the Invitation".  If you are looking for fun and "different" invitations, I highly recommend that you peruse this book.


Because how awesomely adorable are these???!!!
