in the wee small hours of the morning...

as i begin this, allow me to say that it's currently 4:54am, and i'm sitting outside my place of employment using my babybook™ and starbucks free wireless.  i closed last night, therefore, i'm pulling a what i lovingly refer to as a clopen [close, then open].  i was just here like 4ish hours ago.  one of my coworkers called late in my close shift very ill, and thinking that i was going to be up all night anyway, i took the shift.  why was i going to be up all night, you ask?  well, mike had a red-eye to denver this morning.  i was going to drive him to the airport so he wouldn't have to park, but after a lengthy discussion, the realization that his parking would be reimbursed, and my decision to take this shorty open, he drove himself.  so also as i type this, he should be safely arriving in dayton for his 6:30 flight.  sigh.  another financial aid conference, another 4 days without seeing his handsomeness.  i decidedly hate financial aid conferences.  they steal my love much more than i need them to.  be prepared for some grumpy few days, if you happen to cross my path, i suppose - i'll try to be my usual sweet, but it's hard to smile when mike's away. 

so...  wedding stuff.  i'm sure you're curious, since it's been a coons age since i've blogged.  work schedules and soreness are to blame for my absence, so please accept my sincere apologies.  currently my dress is at the tailor, shoes have been purchased, invites are in the works, flowers are being negotiated, and we've still not found a suit for the wee graham.  mike's got his though, so we're set there.  recently, we discovered that we can now have our little shindig at the NEW sign museum spot, which is very exciting, as it's much more accomodating for these things.  the older space is set up a little oddly, so it's a big sigh of relief that we can have it in the new space.  we took megan, the coffee lass, over there to see about setting up, and she was probably just as excited about it as we were.  she just kept saying, "the pictures are going to be amazing...."  i can't wait, seriously.  our families will even maybe forget that we're not doing the church thing once they get in there and see just how cool it is.  maybe.  ;)  right now the focus is the invite, since we're officially only 2 months out.  2 months!!  i can't believe it's so close.  i know these 2 months are gonna fly right by, i just know it.  i am beside myself with excitement, i just want it to get here, honestly.  as much fun as wedding planning seems, it's a lot of work, with a metric ton of decisions, things to consider that you never thought you'd have to consider...  ugh.  i'm just really looking forward to it all being over and just being mrs. mike and having some peace and quiet in my life.  :)

well, it's just about time to make the donuts.  looking forward to an iced coffee or two, a [hopefully] quick morning so i can go home and sleep, finally, and wednesday, because that's when mike flies home.  i'm really, really looking forward to that. 

have a great sunday, everyone!  and i promise it won't be so long next time.  :D
