wow... so weddings, huh? i realized this weekend that i've been to five weddings in the past two years. that, my friends, is a lot of marriage going around. what is it, honestly? is there something in the water? who knows. all i know is that if one more person asked me this weekend "so when are you and huey getting married", i was going to scream and pull out my hair.
it's not that we don't think about it, or even discuss it. it's just that we have decided not yet. to list all the reasons to people really falls under the "none of your business" category. saying we aren't ready should be enough. i love that everyone says we're practically married already, what with the playing house and pretty much shared income, so we might as well just do it. in my mind, that cheapens the whole point of getting married. oh, so we are pretty much doing it now, why not just close our eyes and jump? no thanx.
there are always issues. and i'm okay with that. i'm not in any hurry. when we are ready, we'll know it. and no amount of poking and prodding from anyone else will hurry that along in anyway. trust me.
it was great to see everyone again. i saw some people that i hadn't seen in years. and i was really surprised at how i handled it. sure, it takes me awhile to warm up to people. and i'm not really good at small talk or bullshitting. i find it very dull. but i enjoyed being able to sit down and talk with people i wouldn't normally interact with. and then the ones i haven't seen in awhile... well, you don't realize how much you miss your friends until they drop into your life for just a few days. it really was great and it made me happy.
so all in all, i would give this weekend two thumbs up. there were a few roadbumps, but i've given up long ago on everything being perfect. i was very satisfibed. now comes moving. this will be another ordeal that will take weeks to actually accomplish, but i think all my panic and anal retentiveness will be for naught because it seems like it's all pretty well taken care of. we do have to pack, but getting the stuff into the boxes won't be that big a deal. and jaylee got me saturday and sunday off work so i'll really have plenty of time for it all.
i wish life was like this more often. constantly something to do. a project to focus on. i like this better. i never get bored and i don't feel like i'm wasting my time at all. i wish there were more hours in the day and that i had eight arms to do a million things at once. well, eight arms would look funny.... but these are very exciting times. i love this time of year.
