More Cha Cha Cha Changes!

Of course it is more like me to get everything done at once. We've been entertaining the idea of taking advantage of the "buyers" housing market. If we found something that worked...why not. It might be a bit much with the wedding and all but you know in the long run I don't think we could afford to wait on what we found....

My lovely soon to be hubby can explain it all....

Scary but exciting times...

Wedding Mayhem

We are less than 4 months away people. And let me tell you I am working hard on getting things checked off my list. It's crazy how motivated I was when we just had got engaged back in December. People were commenting that I was starting so early and that I wouldn't have anything to do for the remaining time. Well the holidays came and we got busy...with I'm not exactly sure what, then we changed plans a bit and now I have this sudden feeling that we are behind!

So I started making calls and getting us scheduled. First, engagement pictures. Yes, engagement pictures 4 months before your wedding I know crazy! We had them yesterday. It was actually good weather and nice to be outside for a bit. If I said it was "fun" that might be a stretch. Better than expected?...definitely! Worth it? We'll see. I know that I'm not the most photogenic person in the world...so we've got that going for us.

Next up is actually sampling what we would be serving for food. The caterer has been bugging us for months to get in and do this. That's tomorrow...I'll let you know how that goes. But I fail to see the downside of yummy free Hawaiian BBQ.

The venue people have gone through a reorganization of sorts that kinda freaked me out so we need to go back there and explain everything again...I'm not really looking forward to that.

Oh and the other "minor" details that I keep forgetting are finding someone to marry us, flowers and invitations....minor, right???

I guess where I'm at is that before it was just researching options not really making any final decisions...and I guess that was fun. Now it's nailing everything down and making the final say. Yikes!

But I did find some uber-cute wedding shoes I am sooo excited for! They should come in the mail here soon...I'll let you know how that works out, that is if you care :)

You're Gonna Miss This

Last night Jason and I finished up watching Celebrity Apprentice...yeah I know stupid but with the writers strike we got hooked. One of my favorite contestants was Trace Adkins, who actually made it to the final 2. He's an adorable country singer and when he spoke he just made you feel good. On the finale they had him perform one of his songs, "You're Gonna Miss This". See it here . I guess it really hit home with me. Especially right now, all this wedding planning, Jason and I right now in this tiny house, no kids, where we are at in our careers. Right now it all looks like a bunch of burdens but eventually things will change and you won't have these anymore...so enjoy it, enjoy the now. Kinda put things in perspective for me....much needed!

ps...Jason took the picture when we were in Santa Cruz, it's one of my favorites.

Here's the lyrics...

She was staring out the window of their SUV
Complaining, saying "I can't wait to turn 18"
She said "I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules"
Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school
Then she kissed her head and said "I was just like you"

You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

Before she knows it she's a brand new bride
In a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by
He tells her "It's a nice place"
She says "It'll do for now"
Starts talking about babies and buying a house
Daddy shakes his head and says "Baby, just slow down"

Cause you're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater
Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'
One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin'
And she keeps apologizin'
He says "They don't bother me.
I've got 2 babies of my own.
One's 36, one's 23.
Huh, it's hard to believe, but...

You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
