I need to discuss normal things.

Happy wedding day to Shana and Phillip! Shana's life and my life have parallelled in sometimes-scary ways since we've known each other, so it's not very surprising that we're getting married less than two weeks apart. I pray God will bring her and Phillip many blessings! I'm so excited.

Let me tell you how awesome my husband is. :) (Husband! Woo!) He was off work yesterday and spent the whole day organizing and shopping for things we needed for the apartment. When I came home and didn't have time to make dinner, since I had to leave almost immediately for a flute practice, he cooked Hamburger Helper for both of us. While I was gone, he completely rebuilt our back-door doorjamb and installed a new chain (it needed to be done...long story). Then he cleaned up the whole mess himself. Today he gets off early and is going to put up a new cabinet in our bathroom. Am I blessed or what?

One frustrating thing is that, since the wedding, I have no idea what's happening in the world. I can't watch the news in the mornings anymore because Evan is usually still sleeping. Then I forget to check in at another time. Someone mentioned terrible fires in Chicago...not only do I have no clue what that's all about, but I am also too busy to even look it up online or something. And Christmas? What the heck? When did this happen? I haven't bought any presents yet and don't have a clue what anyone wants. My Christmas card list will have to be so short this year, and that makes me sad. Of the (literally) 100 or so thank-you notes I need to write, I have completed exactly six. Our apartment is in a nightmarish state. Almost every spare surface is covered with mail and boxes and stuff. I want to decorate for Christmas, but adding more clutter to already mind-boggling clutter goes against everything I believe in. We have a tiny tree that Kathy gave me a long time ago. I think I'll put that one up somewhere, and maybe a wreath, and call it good.

Oh, and even bigger proof that Evan is wonderful: while I was at practice, he found out the Clay Christmas special was on and taped it for me! I didn't even know there was going to BE a Clay Christmas special, and he doesn't even LIKE Clay (though he admits to liking his version of "Mary Did You Know"), but he hurried to tape it just to make me happy. That's love. *cartoon hearts*

Okay, I'll get to work on wedding entry #2 soon. I just needed a break from the recapping. :)

teehee, I thought about you when I saw that Clay special in the tv guide.

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

:) Yep...I would have missed it!

[keepsmiling74.livejournal.com]

Yay for the great husband. :) I watched the Clay show and enjoyed it, but I've heard mixed reviews. Maybe I am easy to please. :)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm always easy to please, so I have no problems with that. :)

Many, many more to come, my friend... :)

Isn't saying "my husband" one of the coolest things ever?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

It really is! :D

LOVE the new layout!!!

That was one thing I had to get used to when I got married was J sleeps later than I do so I couldn't (and still can't) listen to Kramer and Dana in the morning while getting ready. Almost a year later, I now have a new routine of watching the weather in the living room then switching over to Buffy for a few.

Having a wonderful husband I think is one of God's v. best blessings.

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's been my hardest adjustment too...having to tiptoe around and get ready in the dark. I miss my little routine. But when Evan opens the store we get up around the same time, so those days are good. :)

Wow- I am so honored to have received a thank- you note!
I guess many people are still unaware that it's polite to give presents before the wedding so as not to add to thank- you note stress!

Husbands, rule, dontchathink? John tapes stuff for me too without my asking- it's like PSYCHIC TIVO! I'm so thrilled you guys can begin a real realtionship and have all the fun live-in adventures!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Well, hopefully people will understand if I don't get them all out immediately, especially with Christmas stuff.

Yay! :)

[dirtbird.livejournal.com]

Wow... ain't he just one great guy?

Have fun! :)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yep! :)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

It really is. But a great kind of weird! :)

[canticles.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the good wishes, chica! *hugs*

The Clay thing = ultimatee sweetness! Awwwe <3 True love! lol <3

Being as your wedding was so close to the Christmas season, I am ssure all this anxiety and hecticness (if that's a word, i'm thinking probably not) is to be expected. As great as it is to go all out in decoration .. what you said should be more than enough for now, and then next year you guys can go all out. =) And soon enough you will learn to live together and your schedules will coincide and you can do all that you need to but haven';t been able to here as of late! It'll all work itself out here in the near future.. promise <3

God's amazing!
