Can time speed up?

I can't believe that there are still two weeks left until school starts. I feel like I've been on vacation for months. It's like January is never going to end... Anyways, on the lighter side of things, my friend Kendra is getting baptized tonight!  :) That's super exciting.  I'm happy for her.  :)

I really should start reading my books for my English class so that I don't have to read them later... oh well...





I guess that's all I have to say...

The hope is we have so much to feel good about

"Good Life" by One Republic

"Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night
Night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in LA, they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories, but please tell me
What there's to complain about

When you're happy like a fool
You let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cause hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
A good, good life
Good life
Good life

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in LA, they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories, but please tell me
What there's to complain about"




Wedding planning is coming along.  I'm excited that so much of it is getting done before school starts up at the beginning of next month. :) I'm super excited about all of the thing that are getting planned. I'm having some issues with my mom, and that's causing some stress, but I'm sure it will all work out. :)

And round one goes to...

Wedding planning is coming along quite nicely.  There is a Bridal Show at the fair grounds this coming Sunday, and I've been trying to get all of my stuff booked and scheduled for my date before everyone else gets the same ideas.  I don't want to be left trying to figure out how I'm going to make things work.  So many of the things that need to get done are getting crossed of my list.  It's very relieving.  I am enjoying the reduced stress.

Hunter and I are going to go get engagement pictures done, we just have to figure out when... I am going to be short on available time once the semester starts in February.  I'm sure we'll figure it out.

All this planning stuff can get pretty stressful. I feel like I have to fight everybody just to have my wedding be what I would like it to be, instead of what everyone else wants it to be. My mother is trying to plan her own wedding and have me act it out... which makes me particularly upset because she's had two weddings and I will, God willing, only have one.  I am finding that I have to fight the florist about how many flowers I need, and that I don't actually need huge flower center pieces on the tables... Family is the worst, though, because they think that they are entitled to have their opinion taken into very serious consideration... For my part, I don't care what they think. If they have a good suggestion or idea, I might use it, but this wedding is mine and Hunter's and it should feel like us.  Trying to convince everyone else of that is a real chore.....


Here's to hoping that it all gets easier as things get taken care of, and here's to hoping that no one decides that they will disregard what Hunter and I say and do their own thing.
