Today...

Well... Happy Veterans Day! I thank each and every one of the soldiers who fought and died for our country so that we can enjoy the things we do today. There are many veterans in my life...one who is so near and dear to my heart...my fiance. He won't say anything, nor does he expect thanks. If you ask him he did what he thought was right.....and he will also say how much he misses Japan. Still... I want to thank each and every one of you! I so truly appreciate it.

Today is exactly 30 days until...I TURN 30!!! I can't believe it. I don't think that I could have imagined my life being the way it is now 5 years ago...and now that I am going onto a new decade of life I hope that the next 30 years are just as wonderful. I have met many people and have had the opportunity to see lots of great places. All have helped change me and mold me into the woman I am. I have no regrets with life...regrets are the devil's paycheck...and he doesn't deserve to get paid. There are things that maybe if I could I would not do them, but regret them I do not.

Can you believe that it is 6 WEEKS...6 little weeks until...CHRISTMAS!!! I am not ready...I will do my best to get ready, but I am not ready now. I now have a niece and a nephew to share the innocence of Christmas with, but still...6 weeks. I can't believe how fast time goes. I can't believe that if you blink your eyes fast enough 2008 will be over. Oh man...

Speaking of Christmas... I am trying to figure out if I want to make a Christmas wish list or if I want to have Joe help me with our wedding registry and just update it or start over...either way giving family the option of getting us stuff on that for the holidays. There is nothing that I really want or need for Christmas. I am back home with my family which in all honesty is really all I wanted for Christmas. I will be surrounded by people who love me...both my family and my future inlaws. I can probably come up with stuff that I would like to have, but living with my folks it is a little hard to "store" things for when we move out. I will just keep thinking about what to do and when I come up with an idea...I will share....

That will bring me to a STRESSFUL 2009. Only stressful because I will be planning the most important day of my life...and one of the most romantic days in my life...my wedding. I am trying to do a little planning every weekend, or every other weekend, so that when the new year comes I won't turn into this Bridezilla that goes all berserk bc well quite frankly I know that something will go wrong...something will not go as planned, but the best part is no one else will know except me. Joe won't even know... So while I want to plan on it being the best day of my life...which I am sure it will be...I am also trying to keep myself grounded by doing that there is only so much I can do and whatever happens happens.

shel, it's just a wedding. the day is important because you're getting married, not because of everything else. and you're right, things will go wrong, but you'll remember everything that went right anyway.

and honestly, it's not that romantic a day. there are too many things going on to worry about romance. it's a really fun day, but not so much romantic. just something to think about.
