30 Days and Counting...

OK. So we are down to t-minus 30 days and counting until the "big day"!

I'm not really sure how to describe the anxiousness, excitement, joy, splendiforiousness, and over all anticipation I feel with the day hurrying upon us. All I know is that in the next 30 days I will be spending the rest of my living eternity with the most wonderful, God-given blessing of a man and this idea thrills me to no end. :)

Depending on how long you've known me, you should probably realize that I am the pickiest person on earth... especially when it comes to the qualities I've been praying for in a future husband. Who knew that God would give me the EXACT person I would need to help pull me back down to earth every time my imagination would start to wander?... OK, so maybe Mom knew ;). But he really is that wonderful. I'm an idealistic person, he's very realistic... we're learning how to work with these two personalities and figure out how to blend them the best we can (without blowing up in each other's faces... OK, so I do most of the blowing up... I mean, I LOVE YOU JOE!!!)

So... 30 days, hmm...

Homes on Hold

Erica's view:

Joe and I had a GREAT talk last night! Actually, I pretty much whined about how stressed out I've been and he listened. Then he Analyzed "why" I've been so stressed out, and we came to the following conclusion: Wedding + condo buying = TOO MUCH STRESS!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that he loves the home hunting thing and it's keeping him occupied until the wedding. I also love going over all the pics with him of the new places. The problem is that I still feel way too detached from the whole situation, and I hate feeling this way. So we've agreed to postpone the condo/ home hunting until after the wedding. It was decided that we really need to focus on one big thing at a time (like the wedding, and maybe the honeymoon?). Then Once I'm out there for good, we can refocus on condo hunting and maybe have a place by Christmas.

It's just been SO difficult for me to concentrate on so many things at once, too much change trying to take place, and it's freakin' me out man! LOL! So this is the decision we've reached. I'm feeling less stressed already because I know we don't have to worry about moving so many things in such a short time now, and we can sit back and enjoy the Wedding and honeymoon first, then plan our next move on the home front (pun intended, lol).

Now maybe I'll be relaxed enough to start packing my room... hehe.
