Programmable Wedding

My living room looks like someone vomited pink and green all over the floor.

I won't be sad if I never tie another bow in my entire life.

This morning Christopher and I worked on the programs for the ceremony. This was a task that I had delegated to myself, because working with a graphic designer makes it that much more difficult. He wanted to check the monogram on the front to make sure it looked right and off to the races we went... Two hours later we had basically the exact same program - just in a different font.

Now I'm sitting in front of my computer cursing my printer because it's leaving roller marks on the cardstock. This should not be the difficult part. The difficult part was the formatting. Printing should be easy. This does not feel easy.

As we get down to the final stretch I'm feeling exhausted. Sadly today I don't feel super excited or nervous, I just feel tired. Physically tired, mentally drained, and tired of doing wedding things. I really wish I could be a non-type-A person (type B? type C?) and just let these things go. But alas, I am who I am and I am concerned about every last detail. I keep telling myself that as long as we're married at the end of the day that is all that matters. But I didn't spend two weeks making out of town bags for nothing! And my printer should know better than to fuss with me right now.

Christopher is off to work so it's even more difficult to find the motivation to get things done. Life will be a whole lot easier six days from now.

On a lighter note, our townhouse now has a lovely solid poured concrete foundation. You can even see the little cutout for the garage. :-) I saw a bunch of lumber had been delivered which means pretty soon it's going to start getting REALLY interesting... HOORAY!
