I've been absent, but I've been doing alot of things and stuff.

Dude. I was NOT prepared for how much work and/or effort went into planning a wedding. Don't get me wrong, it's been mostly fun and I feel like it will all be worth it in the end, but our wedding is small and I just don't know how people have these large/grand weddings. 

It's expensive, tiresome, and quite frankly, frustrating. I got lucky in the sense that I have had alot of support and help, but for all of those people out there that do it all by themselves? I want to buy them a drink. 

I've learned from this experience and I'm very excited. Well, more nervous than anything if I'm being completely honest. I have a million thoughts roaming through my head at varying times (ie: what if I trip? what if D runs away? what if no one dances? what if, what if, what if?). But, I try to push all of those negative thoughts away and focus on all of the other things that make me anxious and overwhelmed. 

Because I wouldn't be me unless I was riddled with anxiety and panic attacks. Good times. 

With all of that being said, I should say that almost everything is now taken care of. The people are invited, the things are ordered and arranged, and so on/so forth. I did finally submit our paperwork online for our license and I completed the paperwork to officially change my last name (HALLELUJAH!!), so all we have to do is go into the clerk's office to pick up the license and I'll have to drop off my paperwork at the social security office when all is said and done.

Also, I still need to get my dress hemmed (although, let's be honest, I don't really care if it's too long) and make our centerpieces. That should all be done in the next couple of weeks. I go this Saturday to my last hair appointment before the wedding (I'm getting extensions, and yes I know I just cut all of my hair off, but this is just who I am as a person) and by this time next month (+2 days), we'll be married. 

So, if y'all need me, I'll currently be over here living my normal life, drinking copious amounts of alcohol, and trying to keep my anxiety in check. HA!....HA!!!.... hahahahahahaha...... haha!!
