What's Going On

Let's see...haven't been here in awhile. Wish I found more time to blog and get in to it like I used to.

Wedding--starting to look at NYC hotel rates and flights. Found a JOP and also a photographer. What else do we need? Hmmm...let's see. I'd love to find a bakery that would make a very small wedding cake. Know any NYC bakeries? Also I'm trying to think of the best way to find a bouquet of flowers to carry. Maybe after we get our hotel booked I should search florists within walking distance. Just a simple bouquet of red roses.

Dress--trying to decide between this one..in black or white? I am not a traditionalist, so I'm not set on wearing white. I'm more of a realist and know that white washes me out in photos, and black brings out the color in my hair. This dress I fell in love with last fall from Ann Taylor Wedding collection.

Is this appropriate for a outdoor August wedding? My Girl is going to wear a pant suit, I'm pushing for white, grey, or black. I've seen several I like in wedding photos. She nor I want anything too masculine or butchy. I would like to see her wear something similar to the girl on the far right.

We have been looking to vacation in Yosemite this summer. Not sure with the wedding we will be able to swing both.

I feel selfish for thinking or say this but the more I delve into the wedding plans, the sadder it makes me that we aren't going to be able to fly everyone up to Vermont and have a full family celebration. My Girl's mom will go to CT with us for the ceremony but that's not the same as a family surrounding you. And then depending on chemo treatments and her health, not sure if gram will be able to attend our reception once we get back home. It's sad to me that we are planning a wedding around her grandmother. I don't mean that negatively, I just wish things could have gone as the original plan.

Her mom being with us in NYC is another concern I have. I don't want to feel like we have to babysit her. My Girl said she is going to tell her mom that this is our "honeymoon" and we want it to just be us, but how can you tell someone that without hurting their feelings?

Kids--I go back and forth but I DO want one. When we are around either of our families I ESPECIALLY want one. I want that feeling you get when you are all together and loved. It will be hard, especially with the day care situation and not knowing how flexible My Girl's job will be with her leave and if she could possibly work from home some.

My Girl has started reducing her Wellbutrin to half a pill a day. I can tell a difference, a good difference. Next week she will start taking a half a pill every other day. I hope her desire for smoking doesn't come back. She's almost to 5 months smoke-free. When she smells smoke now she thinks it stinks and will ask if that's what SHE smelled like.

We went to see my parents this past weekend. It gets easier and easier to be around them now. I hope they feel the same, and are enjoying visiting with Brianne and me as much as I am them. I even got an invite from my sister to come over and visit. That was a first. My sister gets on my nerves--she and her husband both want to talk at the same time and it gets very annoying. You don't know who to listen to! It's like watching the View!

I've been tweeting a lot--and getting some feedback from a few celebs. I'm addicted, actually. I know they are people like you and me, but it means a lot that they take the time to reply to a tweet. Got one from intern Ross from Jay Leno last night. Chely Wright sent me a message on Facebook. I've gotten a few replies on Twitter from Roseanne Cash (Johnny's daughter!) and also her daughter, Jane Crowell. Several of TRLW girls have written me back...and Tracy is even following me!! I'm sooooo star struck!!! Do you follow celebs on Twitter?
