It’s time I wrote more…
After all, there’s a lot going on.
I’m getting married in June. The wedding planning proceeds apace. I have a beautiful dress (although it’s not altered yet), I’ve bought 7 pairs of shoes online that I need to choose among, we have a caterer (although we haven’t signed the contract), we have a hall, a minister (Bruce’s brother), a band, a caller and a photographer. We’ve sent our save-the-date cards and registered and I’m about to start on the invitations. I have two showers coming up, and it’s almost spring.
Bruce is finally getting around to his wedding tasks: buying a suit and getting the bathroom remodeled. He’s found someone to work on the bathroom and he’s thinking real hard about suits.
So all is well.
Well, all that is, except that work has been stressful, it just KEEPS SNOWING and I had to have some minor surgery last week that sort of kicked my ass.
But, it’s interesting. I’ve always wanted to be married. I never really got rid of the girlhood fairy tale dream scenario. At 52, it is understandably a little battered and worn, and much altered. But I do feel like my dreams are coming true. It’s also challenging – getting married and being married aren’t easy. And joining Bruce’s household, which includes his 90-year-old parents, will be challenging and rewarding. It’s going to be an interesting new reality.
My future is finally starting, I guess…
