I'm engaged and going crazy

...but tonight was awesome: 2 hours round trip together in the car, walking around downtown Salt Lake, Macaroni Grill, crazy choir/orchestra concert (combined U of U and BYU musicians) in the Tabernacle, Temple Square in general...in short, Scott and I got almost 6 hours of uninterrupted us-time, and it was GREAT! It is so nice to spend some time alone with him. So so so so nice. It's not a luxury we get very often--which, I guess, is probably a good thing at this point...

But I really am going insane. The tides have turned again in the epic battle (Birth Control vs. My Reproductive System: Smackdown!)...back to the drawing board. We're getting married in 33 days and the announcements haven't even been printed, let alone assembled & mailed. I'm super behind in my homework, but I'm not going to be able to catch up at all next week since Scott and I will be jaunting around all over Texas and southern Louisiana (HOORAY!!). Hmm.

No complaints, really, though. I've kind of surrendered to it all--like when you quit fighting the sea water at the beach and just realize you're going to swallow about a gallon of ocean if you want to body surf. Problem is it makes your throat burn and your stomach turn. No burning throat for me now, just headaches... and in 4 1/2 weeks it'll all be over (!!!). Really it'll all have just begun, but the hurdles will at least be different. And I can at least get a little more sleep over Christmas. Maybe.

Huzzah!! Let's get married!!

I am so excited for you. Getting married is SO FUN. But, I TOTALLY understand how stressed you are. It is crazy to think that in just about a month, it will all be over, and then you can adjust to married life. But, you should really enjoy this time while you can (which I'm sure you are doing). There will be a time when you wish you could go back to being engaged-- where there is so much anticipation and excitement. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope your engagement is going well! You really have some fun times to look forward to.

Oh my WORD!!! I haven't read anybody's blog for months on end and I was idly looking today at my list of blogs I used to look at and clicked on yours and WOOOOAAAAH HORSEY! You're getting MARRIED!!??!!? Wow! That's very cool. I know I don't know you, but having dipped into your life via your blog, I am actually very happy for you :D

My daughter an I are visiting Salt Lake/Provo at the end of December/beginning of January for a good friend's sealing in Salt Lake (very fun!). So...if you happen to be standing in line somewhere and hear an English accent and it belongs to a short(ish) red head, then come and say hi! LOL (you never know...stranger things have happened)
