IrenicEmbers

What an absolutely hectic week it’s been. A week ago, tearfully and joyfully, I accepted Nick as my husband and I swear my feet haven’t touched ground since then.

Well aside from the whole “going back to work bit.” That part sucked.

I’ll link to pictures and whatnot soon. Lots to be done in the meantime. The irony: we wedded on 09-04-09 but it didn’t become “legal” until 09-10-09 … my father’s 54th birthday.  Funny how life works out.  That’s the day before my grandparent’s anniversary too I think.

… and I couldn’t have been any happier.  At the end of the night, my face hurt from smiling too much. Nick was so happy. Everything went so well.

Here’s a picture that the lovely Bekah took:

I love you Beks.

……I finally understand why I’m ready to make Nick my husband, because after not being sure about some meat in the fridge (Nick has this habit of putting the meat that was left out too long in the freezer, clearly marked .. to be disposed of when the trash is almost ready to go out) … he calls and says, “Do I really want to chance getting food poisoning this soon before the wedding?”

Granted this bag of meat wasn’t marked, so there’s a chance it’s not spoilt at all. But still, in small ways, Nick always has my best interests in his heart.

So, we’ve agreed on some songs for the wedding and here they are:
