It's June 1. It's our wedding month. We get married this month. It's on all the calendars. I feel so ready and I then I still can't believe how soon it will be here. I'm feeling very sentimental. I am thinking about the days I lived with my parents, when I was involved in their every day lives and details, and when they knew I'd be there the next day, and the next. I think about when my brother saw me every day and felt part of the same family as me. We are obviously the same family, but we also sort of have two of our own families since we live in two different homes now. I miss sitting on my sister's bed watching her put on makeup late at night and make faces in the mirror. We would listen to music loudly on her boom box and have sleepovers in her bed, just me and her. I have been living a life so different than that for years, but to think of myself as growing up...as a grown up, who will be married, a wife and a stepmother, it's life-changing.

We are down to the wire. I wish I would have written more about this wedding planning journey, but through all the lists and planning and thinking and creating, writing about it was the last thing I felt like doing. The entire wedding planning has been fun. I find an idea and I create it. Lately I have been delegating a little bit more because I realized I didn't have all the time needed to finish everything on my own. My sister is making my card box and ordering our favors. My mother has made so much including my garters, bouquets, signs, table runners, and will be making the cakes! I have so many people offering to help, and I appreciate it so much. If there has ever been a time I have felt very appreciative for the people in my life, it is right now.

Eleven days. 11! It seems surreal that next weekend Keane and I will be getting married. This wedding that has been played in my head over and over, will be played out for real. I had a wedding nightmare last night! Those are real things. And I haven't even been worried about much! I dreamt that the photographer never showed up for the wedding, that we forgot to do the sparklers & fireworks, and there were only about 45 people there (when we are expecting about 175). The wedding planning is all complete. There are only a few things left to do, and they are things that will easily get done between now and then. I am nervous to see how my planning will turn out. Will things look like I envision? Will they go as smoothly as I hope?
