The worst and best day of my life thus far...

Tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the worst and best day of my life thus far. Tomorrow I am going to see Michael. We will meet after he gets off at the new apartment. And it will officially be his, until we are married, then it will be ours lol. I love knowing we will have somewhere to live. That being said, tomorrow I leave. And this weekend my nephews leave. For South Carolina. They will no longer be 30 minutes down the road,and to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. It's always been my hide out. My place of comfort when things get rough. My "place" is not actually a place, but people. Being around Ben and Jake and my sister have supplied some of happiest moments in my life. Being able to be around the three of them whenever I want has been a blessing that I'm not entirely sure I'm ready to be without, but I have no choice. Life is changing fast, and I admit, I'm a little sad. I'm excited about all the opportunities that are about to be presented, but I am sad that things can't just stay this care free forever.

All that said, I have a TON of things to do this weekend. On top of 2 meetings for jobs, I have to go to David's Bridal to get something there and the Men's Warehouse to arrange for the fittings for the tuxes. I'll do that all that and one meeting Friday. As for Saturday...we have to move him in, register, go look at 2 furniture outlets that are in town, and then we're having some "us" time. We're going to the titanic museum and then to see a movie. A little relaxation will be amazing. We have people to visit, and family and friends to see. So some time to do something fun is a must. And we have a lot of little "wedding things" to make decisions about. Oh...and pictures...we are going to have our pictures made. Not full on "engagement" pictures b/c I'm not so much into that seeing as how time is flying and I have more to do than have our picture made....just something to put in the paper and put up at the wedding that we're not wearing hoodies or camo lol. I would guess a majority of Sunday afternoon is going to be spend organizing and putting things away in the apartment. And then Monday I have another meeting. So...all in all...I have a busy few days ahead of me...which I know is for the best to keep my mind off of things.

And some exciting news...2 brides maids have ordered dresses...2 down 3 to go!!!

I guess I'll get back to packing the truck for my trip tomorrow...

Love,
Lorie.
