So crazy, I knew this week would just fly. The weekend up at the lake was just what I needed. A much needed respite from general job and wedding planning stress. We went 4wheeling, and took my new 99 jeep wrangler(pictures soon) out in the mud, and spent hours and hours raking leaves and transporting them down the road, getting the ‘cabin’ ready for the summer. Very very relaxing, a good time with everyone, we even got to have a campfire. Carlo made me the perfect S’more. Next time we make it up to the cabin, we’ll be married, ee!


I got to go to the SCA again on Wednesday, I know I haven’t talked much about it lately, but I’m still going, feel free to look for me down at the stock pavilion in Jara, in Northshield. I was going for the heavy weapons, but the upcoming coronet has preoccupied Raito, the weapons marshal. Basically he has no time to train newbies. So I kinda wandered off to the thrown weapons end of the arena. And before I knew it, I was signing paperwork to become a Marshall in Training, I just need one more supervised session, and then I’ll be able to run the range by myself! It’s really nice to run the range, and throw the weapons, near the end, Jack was talking and David and I kept taking more turns at throwing. We were just postponing until we’d have to take down the range. It’s a nice focusing activity, where everything else kinda slides away from my mind, and the whole night of running the range, of yelling commands was totally worth it when I got the blazing arrow knife to stick with a resounding thud.


This week went even faster than I thought it would, suddenly, it’s the end of the month, in just 30 days we’ll be married. Closer than that, things are getting crazy just this weekend. Tomorrow afternoon I have my third dress fitting, and the Becky will be in town, and we have all manner of things to do, some more flowers to buy and perhaps favors to make, and Saturday morning is the bridal shower, apparently there will be quite a large turnout, wow. Then saturday night out with the gals.


Things are sliding so fast, I’m so afraid to miss it all, I’m afraid I’ll blink and miss the ceremony, and everything. It’s fun to plan everything, though stressful, and I know things won’t change drastically after ‘the big day’. But it’s hard not to get worked up sometimes. I guess I hope enough people take pictures so I can look back on things that are going by so fast in a blur.

I love all the little messages you guys are sending me. I’m glad your excited about my wedding, Adam, and Mark. For the person who says my gift list at target is boring,(I think this is a message from Frank, but I’m not sure, names in the messages help!), um, well, you know, house stuff. If you want to see a few more intresting things, check out kohls, or jcpenny’s, or my amazon wish list (shameful plug). Though the amazon list is more just things I want, and not really things we both want, heh. But, more intresting things, I promise.
