Days to go. We can't really believe it. A and I are in a litle bit of shock, but we're down to 10 days. Now we can check the 10-day forecasted weather (not that it's all that accurate this far off anyway, or that we can control or change it!) but it all the sudden feels like we're in this strange wedding-world time warp. I've had to put some of the tasks I've been slacking on into overdrive and I've been running errands in doubles and triples... yesterday I left work early for a haircut, dental appointment and consult with A's mom about what tables to put their side of the guests at. Today it was a dress fitting and coffee purchase downtown, and then a loong meeting with our venue dude, Barry, chat with the harpist, emergency run to Michaels to get more ribbon for a fun little alteration that I had done on the dress (you'll see soon!), picking up lightbulbs for the lanterns. Somewhere in there I'm managing to work as much as I can. I've been going in early and am glad I have all the overtime from working in the field this spring to use up. Today I barely made it to a lecture by a guy from the lab in AZ that works on Grand Canyon. It turns out he presented a lot of data, some of which I helped collect in 2000 when I was at USU! Small world... I even was able to ask intellegent questions and it was really cool to see such a huge longish-term dataset put together. Other than that, I feel like things are getting done. The long meeting with the venue dude was really productive and solved a lot of questions/unknowns I've been dealing with. Tomorrow I have to pester the bus people and DJ. We STILL haven't picked a 1st song either... but we have 10 days, right? We're starting to get really excited about seeing everyone, and A was a super sweetie and gave me an early wedding present (our wedding present to each other is the house) but today he gave me a gift certificate for a massage at this awesome spa I've always wanted to go to but haven't wanted to pay for. I can't wait- I'm going next Wed or Thurs.
