144 Days to Go...

Yes, only 144 days to go until my wedding day. And, according to my wedding website's checklist, I have 176 things to do - 54 of which are overdue! Oh, sure - no stress here! Actually, some of the to-do items can be checked off my list. They've been checked off of my mental to-do list - but as time grows shorter, maybe I ought to convert the mental list to one that's more reliable (feel free to chuckle!).

I'll be honest, the concept of getting married again is frightening and overwhelming to say the least. And while I am enjoying the planning stages, I find myself looking beyond the actual wedding day, and honeymoon - to that true "first day" of my new married life...that day when I wake up with four other people in the house...kids to get off to school...kids to pick up after school...and my job in between...and that ever baffling question of 'what's for dinner?!' It's probably a good thing that during all the fun and excitement and romance of wedding plans, I'm remembering and thinking about the fact that after the wedding comes a marriage...
