Random Ramblings

Well first, the countdown is 24 days. Crazy, huh? In no time at all I feel like we've gone from the proposal to the wedding. But that day is going to be so great. I love that I'm three and a half weeks away and do not feel stressed at all! It's great to have other people stress out for you :-)

But yes, wedding things are coming together greatly. We had our last shower on Sunday. It was small, but very nice. We got two things we desperately needed- sheets & glasses! So we are getting closer and closer to having everything we need. We are practically finished with our Christmas shopping and Joey is making ground on groomsmen gifts. I purchased the last couple of things for bridesmaids today!

Some sad news- Joey's grandmother died last week. It was unexpected. The nurses at the nursing home were putting her into bed and she just slumped over. It was like she just decided to go, so she did. Joey says she was ready to see her husband again and to spend Thanksgiving with him. So we wound up going to Statesville for Thanksgiving instead of spending the holidays here in Benson. His family was planning to come here. But we got up early Thanksgiving morning and drove to his parents' house where his sister-in-law and I cooked Thanksgiving dinner. It was great and we all had a good time, despite the circumstances. I love his family more every time I'm with them, and this was no exception. We spent like 5 hours with his brother & sister-in-law on Friday night, which was a lot of fun.

Let's see, we have about half of our response cards back. Still waiting on the other half. Amazingly, most of the bridal party has not responded...how weird is that? And we only have one session of pre-marital counseling left!!! YAY!!!

We now have cable & internet at our house. It is very nice. We cannot, however, get the wireless router to work yet. So we may have to invest in a new one.

Well, I guess that's about it. I'm off to bake some cookies before Joey's work Christmas party. I'm so looking forward to break, even though it won't be much of a break.
