Goodness Gracious It's July!

At one point in time I had a blog...that I wrote semi-regularly.  At one point in time I also had a brain.  Yet, it seems that over the past two months, both of these things have been lost or neglected.  Seriously, I was running errands a few days ago and had to go back to my house not once, twice, but three times in a matter of 5 minutes (never more than 2 miles from my house) because of things I forgot.  Whew, I hope that gets better once all this craziness is over.


Quick recap on life:

• May 7 - Graduate from IU with a MPH degree - wahoo! 
• May 9 - Pack up my life/apt from Bloomington and begin the trek to Texas
• May 11 - Commence unfolding life in Dallas/wedding planning on steroids
• May 15 - BABY!!!  [NOT MINE - but equally exciting and demanding of attention]
• May 31 - Baby Shower! 
• June - Various meetings with wedding coordinator, florist, cake people, finally sending out wedding invitations, doctors appointments, engagement pictures, trip to Madisonville for Father's Day, dress fittings, trip to College Station/Houston, birthday, two-a-day workouts, get a new wedding ring, test run hair appointment, continued work for IU
• July - Pick a DJ, continued meetings with florist, coordinator, getting final counts for wedding [SIDEBAR:  Our original plan for the wedding/reception was a nice dinner for family and close friends, approximately 60 people.  What we are actually doing:  Full blown reception at the Dallas Museum of Art for 200 people...planned in 2 months.  Awesome.  Will be the best party ever.]

July...that's now.  How did that happen?  I'd certainly like to know.  I keep telling people that I think it's so ironic that as a hard working graduate student with an internship and a job, I had time to watch trash TV and spend days shopping at the outlet mall, and here I am now, with no 8-5, no school and I just caught up on Real Housewives of NYC (that ended a month ago), I haven't seen any Top Chef D.C., Work of Art, OR Bethenny Getting Married - GEEZ!  Rough life, I know. 


But the truth of the matter is I'm now one week away from getting married and I couldn't be more ready.  I can't wait to have my closest friends here to share such a momentous occasion.  I tell Brad regularly that I can't believe this is all happening - 5+ years in the making.  I really never thought we would ACTUALLY end up together.  Now here we are, only seven days from the rest of our lives and I am excited to be joining the ranks of the marrieds.
