Baby steps

Hmmmm, it seems that changes are staring me in the face. We're moving. Those are words I never thought I would say. My lower back starts to hurt just thinking about it! Although this new journey is an unknown...I know that it's going to be a-mazing! I'm no longer a small town girl. A new beginning. Makes me think of getting married; anticipating my new life with Converse Boy and yet totally freaked out of my mind! I mean I wanted to be with him, but I still had to get though the wedding day...alive. We had an outdoor wedding. It was in June, in Wisconsin. Well June 4th showed up: rainy. Tornado warnings. A tornado touched down a few miles from us. Plan B: there wasn't one (Not one that was acceptable to me: get married in a barn where we were having our reception) . Everyone else was buzzing around like little worker bees, on a mission to save something or other. Leaving me all alone...to think. Noo, thinking is not good. I shouldn't think. A barn!? You've got to be kidding me! I mean it's nice and all but I was going to be telling people the rest of my life "Oh, I got married in a barn." Looking back it wouldn't have been the end of the world, but you know how it is...I was emotional.
The buck fell to me. Everyone looked at me as they asked what I wanted to do. I don't KNOW! What should I do?! Okay think, thinki...umm can we wait thirty minutes? (Ooh that was good, how did I come up with that one?) That is exactly what we did. Thirty minutes later the rain stopped, and the clouds rolled away. I walked down the aisle and married that boy. We were pronounced man and wife, walked back down the aisle and the rain poured down in buckets! I didn't get married in a barn that day.
So I guess I am saying that I am excited but I just have to make it through the "wedding" aka the move. I have less than a month to find a house, pack all my stuff, finish painting the house and take defensive driving (remember the seat belt story...yeah). That means weekends are pretty much out for me, oh nooooooo. No more weekends full of relaxation...no more coffee and bookstores? It's just a month.....right? Am I right?
Okay breathe Sarah. Just breathe. I'll just do it in baby steps....baby steps out the door. Baby steps through training. Baby steps into my closet full of clothes that I need to go through and incinerate. (Guess the movie) Anyways I could put up a pic of my messy house to help you better understand what I am facing internet, but since I mentioned getting married (and that would a be much more pleasant pic., let me tell you) I will put up some wedding pics I did a while ago. Happy Friday.
