I don't have a DeLorean or anything, but tomorrow I fly back to Houston and hustle. I've gotta move out of my apartment, sort through what I'll want in Denver (should be easy -- I own no parkas or relatively warm clothing), sort through what I think Matt wants (first marriage test?), pack it up, wrap up tons of loose ends and ... GET MARRIED IN ONE MONTH!! I think this is an appropriate time to invoke the Europe song: "It's the final countdown!" do-do-do-dooooooo!
Dearest co-blogger Taylor is correct that we have great support systems. But you can feel pretty darn alone when you're faced with a giant list of final meetings, final fittings, things you can't eat anymore and final payments. Readers: Weddings are just as expensive as you've heard. I've done some creative budgeting, and we're still at the depressingly-huge Houston average for weddings. I'm not gonna say it here -- too embarrassing. But you can look it up here. Have you done it yet? OK. Those numbers are for real. Matt and I have a lot of necessary expenses in the next month, and we've accepted them. But it stresses me out majorly to think about writing checks for hundreds of dollars so the chairs at the reception will match everything, so if someone could drop a pimped-out DeLorean to the Channel 11 studios, I'll pick it up and move us to Aug. 17, 2008 -- Matt and I will be married, and the money will be spent. Sub-topic: I've had a lot of spare time on my hands, and so I've practiced my new signature (Adrienne M. Owen). It doesn't look good. Does anyone remember how to write a cursive "O" and have it not look ridiculous? Does it connect to the next letter? Are the Olsen twins around??? TrackBackTrackBack URL for this entry: 7 Comments |

ONE MONTH!!! wooooohooooo! We all knew it would come fast...but jeez, it really did! I can't wait to see you! I know you'll get everything done - you are extremely efficient and organized. And about spending all that money...just think, you only get married once! :) Also would love to come visit you in Denver! Southwest just started flying there from SD so you better get me an air mattress!
i made a time machine out of a 100-calorie snack pack of goldfish, a slice of watermelon and a sugar-free red bull just now, so you can use it. wait ... did i say time machine? I meant "meal." so i guess the offer is off the table. man, i suck.
Perhaps I should register for said air mattress.
The Diet Coke/Snickers meal comes back tomorrow. It's gonna be a bleak month for the Wedding Belles.
I can't say that I know how to make a beautiful capital "O" but I'm sure you will find a way to make it all your own. It might take a while for you to get used to it...only NOW can I say, after one year of marriage, that I have mastered the art of signing my new last name without even thinking of writing an "R" (yes, Christine, I do it too!). As for the last minute wedding details - - I am available! Sign me up to help in your last days as a Cody.
I'm glad that you and Matt have your first "home" picked out! I will totally go on a Diet Coke/Snickers diet with you out of solidarity. That sounds yummy.
I would like your next blog topic to be: "Cats and Marriage." How is Felix handling all of this?!
don't worry, the handwriting expert is here, just stop by channel 11, head straight to the producer pod (between 2 and 3pm) and take a look at the papers on my legally blonde clip board. you are sure to find a proper cursive "O" in there somewhere!
Pffft - I am not sure I can discern an "O" from a "D" or "Q" or even a "R." ;)
