We are less than 2 weeks away from the wedding!
I'm ecstatic, frantic, gloriously happy and somewhat scared all at the same time.

We have so many things going on in our life right now that sadly we can't fully embrace it all. First you have the wedding- this beautiful joining of two lives. Buutttt prior to this amazing event comes lots of preparation. Seats, food, drinks, dresses, ties, flowers, tables, favors, fire works... yes, fireworks :)
I can understand why people plan weddings 6 months to a year in advance and also why there are wedding planners. For couples like Adam and I that for some reason decide to put lots on our plates, you essentially become overwhelmed and can't necessarily enjoy the process.
All hotels and flights are booked for the honey moon- now we're planning our ativities! Sushi in chinatown, walking galore, fisherman's wharf, shopping of course amongst other things. Then off to Anaheim for a few days to spend walking around Laguna and Disneyland. With all of my might I am wishing that we will revell in the fact that we can rest. Savor the week of it being only the two of us traveling, is my hope.

On a more home-y note:

This weekend we spent in Memphis scouting out places for our first newlywed home.
We drove countless miles of to apartment complexes and toured about 10 1-2 bedrooms. No matter where we looked we found you get little space for a lot of money. Desparate to find a good deal but also a great location, we, on our last day, found a cute 1950's 2bd/1ba duplex in midtown. Hardwood floors throughout, vintage gas stove, glass tile in the bathroom- we were sold! We have a cute porch which we'll adorn with flowers as soon as we move in.
This friday we'll drive back to Memphis to sign the papers and move everything in.
I am beyond giddy! I kept squealing about having our new little home.

It's cozy! Just what we need, in a great little area with a fun little teensy back yard.
We both promised to take pictures outside for every season, we'll open the windows cook cook cook, and of course...my favorite....decorate!
But oh the task of packing! Must be done by this Thursday, no way around it.

Love, Betsy
