It's 2:45 am and i'm at work (duh, where else would i be likely to be at this time... if not at work, assuredly at this time, i would be sleeping - unlike my dear mother who's probably awake and reading or drinking warm milk at this time). Everyone is sleeping - ooops, maybe shouldn't say that cause that would inevitably invite the entire population of the ward to commence incessant ringing of call bells, requesting water and blankets and other such things, or wanting to get up out of bed (it's morning right?) or some other such nonsense. But for now, in this moment, it's relatively under control and i'm thankful for that. It's nice to know that someone is sleeping, even if i'm not.
Hmm, what to say about April and the latter part of March. It's been busy, that's one way to put it. Wedding plans coming out of my ears, out of the woodwork, out of the blue, you name it. Wedding plans definitely were the theme of my dreams in the first month; i'd have the oddest dreams about weird and wonderful antics at the wedding and the reception - usually involving big details which for unforeseen reasons, i had forgotten or omitted from my planning schedule. Thankfully that seems to have settled down for now - although i awoke from a doozy this morning - somehow i was quite capably toting around a semi-automatic rifle, knew how to shoot it quite well and managed to shoot my uncle.... no idea why - but kinda odd, disturbing even!
Several big things are off the list - dress is bought (it's purple - or so i tell those curious people who ask what it's like!), date is settled (October 13 of this year), church and reception hall are booked, bridesmaids dresses are ordered, and various other details (photographer, florist) are decided. Hmm... what does that leave?? Well, we need to find some rings (unless we want to use something from the cracker jack box - might be cheaper!), pick out some ideas for invitations, settle on a meal, find some furniture, and oh so many other little and big things. It sure has been a process - i am enjoying it, don't be afeared of that, but i am worried that i will miss something big, or will omit some major detail that will change the whole tone of the day... and then i'm put to remember that it will all come together, we will be married at the end of the day and that will be the proper end of all the planning and fussing that we could possibly do. I will be marrying my friend and my confidant and we are just so happy that we have been brought to this point... and we feel so blessed!
So, if you ever want to have a cuppa tea, i'd be more than happy to put the kettle on, curl up on the couch and see what you've been up to lately - i am worried at times to become too involved in planning this and that, and forget the other important things around me! So give me a gentle reminder and/or kick in the pants to remind me that you are out there and i'll be happy to come pull some of your weeds, listen to your stories and share some time together!!!

I'm glad you've got the big plans out of the way - and also that you're not done planning yet! What fun would it be to have nothing left to plan in the 6 months before W-day because you were too efficient in the first two months after E-day?
