MARRIED....

and loving every minute of it!!!
Married life is absolutely amazing, and I couldn't ask for anything more. Life is great, and going to bed and waking up to Brandon is amazing! Yea - I'm usually asleep before him and awake before him, but it's okay. :)

The wedding and reception was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better day! The weather was perfect, and it seems like everything just worked out. It was just perfect!!!!

First Kiss as Mr. & Mrs. Brandon Rushton

Meltdown

I don't really have time to do this, but it an outlet for me and a plea for hope. I am on the verge of a breakdown as I type this. Things seem to start going well, and then I realize that there is even more to do.

My wedding is in two days with a couple day honeymoon to follow. There is still so much to do, and it's not all with the wedding. Right now, I'm not really sure how I'm going to make it through everything. It is starting to seem like something is going to suffer, and I'm not too happy about that.

For starters, I don't really get to see Brandon. Our work schedules are so opposite right now, and the fact that I still live in Lufkin just makes it worse. I want to spend time with him and enjoy the last few days of us just being engaged, but it's not going to happen. There's no time.

This is what all I have left to do before Saturday, and I guess even before Saturday at 10am when I go to get my hair done and start getting ready for the wedding.

* Work
* Meet with Krysta at Hotel Fredonia to go over the reception stuff and set up
* Phi U Spring Initiates - letters to be printed, stuffed, and addressed
* Wrap gifts
* Decorate my card/money box
* Create a sign for the guestbook table
* Cash some checks
* Get my rings
* Nail appointments
* Wedding favors
* Pack
* Move
* Rushton family pictures
* Rehearsal
* Rehearsal dinner
* HMS 443 week 8 assignment - research paper
* HMS 551 research paper rough draft
* Reservations for honeymoon
* JCFR/TCFR reservations
* Last night of singlehood
* Actually see Brandon
* See Hairspray with my parents and Katie
* Car service and wash

That's all that comes to mind right now, but I feel like I'm missing a lot! I'm not really sure how I'm going to get it all completed right now. I'm very nervous about it!!!

Well, that didn't help too much as the breakdown is still there, so time to start getting things together and trying to check off my list.

Next Weekend... WOW!

Next weekend is the big day, and there is so much to do prior to that day. I just can't believe it's so soon!! I'm excited, and ready to just be Mrs. Brandon Rushton!! :) It'll be here quickly, I know. Life is flying by right now, and a lot of that is because I've been so busy.

We are still working on the house (which I took pictures on Brandon's mom's camera, and I never got the pictures off it - so they'll come soon!), and it's starting to look good. There is still a lot to do, but it's getting to where we are going to start moving in a few things. Hopefully we'll get more done within the next week or living as a married couple is going to be interesting for a few months. haha

School is keeping me busy. I have a few papers to write in the next month, two mid-terms this weekend, and other assignments. I'm not motivated this semester, and it's hard. I'm hoping to get that motivation back soon!!

Of course, I have work, JCFR, Phi U, and ACB. Along with getting things together for the wedding, and hopefully packing and just spending time with my dog, my family, and even Brandon. There's a chance that I've missed a few other things happening. Oh yea - my bachelorette party is this weekend after I walk in Relay for Life and babysit for three kids on Friday night.

Life is crazy, but the best thing is about to happen. That is what keeps me going! I love Brandon, and he's the greatest thing in my life! We got our marriage license today, and that was so cool! It feels so very right, and I am so happy! When everything is going crappy, he makes it better!!
