We are ready(kind of)






Tonite was a fun one. Jess and I spent all our day together saw loads of friends and family and enjoyed a public market together. It made me realize how much I wish I was able to keep her home all of the time. Soon we will be able to do this though after I get my nursing degree.
The wedding plans are going off well. i have a small army of friends who gratiously have offered to help with the setup on sat. it shouldu be perfect. I am realizing we had not looked at our guest list as carefully as we thought. we had not made follow up calls and there may be some troubles do to my negligence. Hopefully all will go smoothly though. There is a 30% chance of rain which all the family keeps telling me to stop fixating on for it will bring bad luck but I just have been obsessing over it anyway.

As all of you all know Everything has been hectic. we are planning and preparing for the party of the century. It is all very fun though in an insane way. i have rekindled my love for verse. i always used to read it when I was in high school b ut since have forgotten it. Now that we are planning our vows I have had an excuse to reread my favorites and it has been great. Every day my eyes finish hurting from being planted in books. Sadly I began to late. I started with compilations by longfellow and have ended with favorites by tacky wedding planners.

Who Would Have Thunk?


It is so very perfect to look back at pictures like this before we are to be married. A flower and a bee. Jess' pet bunny. The WT party. It is all just perfect. I am hoping none of it is used in the toasts that are going to be made because it is just to predictable. Jess and I are meant for each other. Who else would be seen next to a crazy man dressed in black long underwear and wings other than a crazy woman dressed in full flower regalia? One has to love the prophetic nature of this photo not to mention the excellence of the costumes themselves.
We are closing in on the date. We have been looking over options for vows. I have a collection of a dozen or so love poems carefully culled from about two to three hundred I have read so far. It should be great.

It is time to create some art


I have started in on doing carvings. We have precious little room so my workbench is too short to get sharp tools out of reach from the boy. He got his hands on hands on my open utility knife today and earned himself a timeout. I really was the one who deserved the time out though. I felt so panicked and horrible. i almost got physically ill as saw him start darting across the room holding the tool. I cannot wait to get a workshop.

A bachelors party to end all bachelor parties.

What do you get when you add twelve men, one rack of pig, three ducks, a swimming pool, and booze? The last supper of Hef? No! My bachelors party. Thanks to some great pulling together of culinary marvels, knowledge of decadance, and support of my wonderful friends I had a great bachelors party. It was very touching to have twelve great friends there to support me in my hours of need prior to the wedding month chaos. Thank you guys and I will never forget the last supper of my single life.

My ID has been revealed. i hope you all are not dissappointed. i gained a taste for blood while campaigning
