Last week... Amy, one of my out of state bridesmaids, came to visit. We had a good time and addressed lots of wedding invitations, sipped many companionable cups of tea, had chocolate, stayed up late talking about everything and nothing, and went shopping for fabric.
This week... I bought 200 pictures of my good looking fiance and myself- I threatened to wallpaper our new kitchen with them, but was persuaded to put them in wedding invitations instead. ;-) I mailed most of those yesterday...I'm still rounding up a few stray addresses, but most of them are now sailing through the postal services channels, and hopefully ending up in the right places!
Today... I went into town and had a safety inspection done on the family car, and did some shopping.
There. :-) I figured I should at least let you all know that yes, I'm still alive... also, that I'm doing wonderfully well. I'm busy. But happy. :-)

Did I happen to mention...
...that I'm getting married to Micah? Oh, I did? Aha. Moving right along...
Micah has posted a satirical, how-it-didn't-happen version of Our Story. It makes me laugh. Then he posted on the idea of finding 'The One'. Good thoughts.
So... do you know what getting engaged means? Yes, yes, getting married, but before that. Wedding planning! It started with stacks of paper, but now I have a three ring binder rapidly filling with checklists, scribbled notes, purple sticky notes, green ribbons ("What do you think of this color of sage?"), pictures of dresses, contact information for a cake person... you get the picture. :-)
If any of you have wedding planning advice, feel free! (I may not follow it, but I'll appreciate it anyway!) Especially if you have suggestions for how to incorporate my brothers in the ceremony without them lighting candles. (The thought of young boys with flammable materials at my wedding gives me the shivers.) Two of them are at that in between stage, too old for ring bearers, too young to be ushers- but I want them to be involved. Also, any suggestions on classical pieces of music to use before the ceremony would be lovely. :-)
