Gimme a Break

Today begins my one month sabbatical from wedding planning. Yes, I have only been planning for 11 days, but I am already stressed to the max and need some time to enjoy the engagement. Although I will continue to pilfer through my motley collection of wedding mags and websites, I am making no commitments or decisions for 31 days.

In part, I have my internship to focus on, and I still have to wrap my head around the idea of being married. Although it is exciting to think about, my experiences in marriage counseling have taught me that it ain't easy. And I don't want to lose sight of the marriage because I am so absorbed in the details of the wedding. I have been a little high strung since I have been in grad school and according to Charles, I won't last fifty years if I continue the path I'm on.

So instead of wedding planning this month, I am going to focus on the spiritual disciplines that I unfortunately neglect and replace with the demands of grad school. I think now is no better time to get it together so that one day I will be a good counselor and a good wife.

You are going to be an amazing counselor and an amazing wife because you are still the sweetest person I've known, ever. (Seriously, it amazes me. You're also going to be an amazing mama because your level of patience is just astonishing.)

I realized I didn't get back to you on Facebook but OF COURSE I'll be there for your wedding! I'm working out moving details but it'll either be this upcoming March (2009) or next February (2010) depending on if/when K proposes! I'll keep you posted :)
