Vegas Baby!!

We are doing it. Gettin' hitched. And we are doing it up crazy-style! Vegas baby!! Practical, non-adventurous Me!?

4 days ago, darling M says "What would you say if I said we were going to Vegas next weekend and we get married?". After I picked my jaw up off the ground I replied "What would you say if I told you I no longer have a valid passport?" Gulp. 

But, that was just a minor hurdle. One that we "easily" cleared. Apparently, if you pay an extra $30, Passport Canada will get you a passport 3x as fast as they will if you only pay a measly $87.

So in 4 days, we board a plane (or 3) to Vegas. I can barely handle the excitement. I can't even focus enough to write this post. There's a lot left to do, but we are having fun prepping for it. Got the dress, shoes, accessories, swimsuit. Tickets and hotel are booked. Elvis chapel is booked (YEAH BABY!). I still need to get my hair done, finish off 10 lists, grocery shop for Sophie and the wonderful friends and family who are making this possible, and try to finish a week of work. 

Here's a cool thing. Our wedding will be broadcast live over the internet Saturday! And available for viewing for the following 90 days. Gotta love technology.

Ok, I can see how all over the place I am tonight. So I am going to quit and go to bed.

4 sleeps and counting!!!

It's a Life Thing

I have been delinquent.

I haven't posted in over 2 weeks. Not only that, I haven't been totally kind to my body. I feel undernourished, so I need to work on that. I won't blame it on life's distractions and roadblocks. That would be unfair. Nor, will I blame myself. It isn't a blame thing, it's a life thing. It just is. Sometimes, we fall off the rails a little. It is good to do on occasion, because it reminds us of how good it feels to get back in control and live life well.

So, my aim for this week is to live life well. To take a few moments to step back from the craziness and breathe. To get some fresh air and move my body. To fuel my physical self in a way that gives me energy to enjoy these things. Not a big commitment, but a commitment nonetheless. That's ok. I am worth it.

'Appy Nuddah's Day!

I feel blessed.

I love my little family, and completely enjoyed soaking them up today. I even got a "Lub You!" and a "Appy Nuddah's Day!" from Sophie! Add to that a lovely healthy breakfast and a beautiful steak dinner BBQ'd to perfection, a couple of bright hanging baskets for the front porch, and I feel like a pretty lucky mama.

It's a hectic life, but it's a good life.
