Things & Musings

As of late my life has been consumed by my wedding. I knew this would happen, but I don't want to become that annoying bride that only talks about her wedding. Already, my sister leaves the room whenever I start talking about it. So I set little goals for myself. Today, I am trying not to bring it up. If someone asks me about it, then I will talk their ear off, but they have to bring up the subject first. I am trying not to spend hours on the internet looking at gowns. I get depressed because I do not want to spend $600 on something that I am only going to wear once. But not being a size 6, there doesn't seem to be any other options. Oh well, I can always wear a nice pants suit. I am just kidding.

I am trying to stop myself from feeling guilty about going to New Orleans in the middle of planning a wedding. This is something Lindsay and I have been talking about for over a year now and really we should have gone down there a long time ago. To be in our 20's and just now visiting our family that lives in the south is ridiculous. I am excited for the trip. Lindsay and I travel well together. Lindsay does all the research and plans what we are going to do, and I happily follow, making sure to keep her laughing and reminding her that relaxing on a vacation is okay too. We are planning on taking as many ghosts tours as we possibly can down there and hopefully we will even get to see a few.

Honestly, Lindsay and I need to go down there while my grandpa is still alive. I know it will make him happy to have us down there meeting the family, and I look forward to bringing back pictures and stories to share with him. Everytime I visit my grandparents they just look older and older. Lindsay is much better about visiting them than I am. I have the best intentions, but can always talk my way out of it. How come it is so easy to put your family aside? They should be your first priority, but a lot of times they go to the bottom of the list. I still haven't told them I am engaged yet. Maybe this weekend.
