Since Brett and I got engaged my friends keep telling me how lucky I am. Not only because I found a great guy, and a good looking one at that! But also because I have gained a wonderful new family as well. People tell me that's not always easy to do and I should feel very fortunate. I always respond with "Believe me, I know how lucky I am, and I thank God everyday for it."
Brett and I both thought that today was going to be an easy day, with a little packing, a couple of errands and maybe a dog walk and we would be done. As easy as that sounded it of course turned out to not be such. Brett started the morning practicing guitar for the show tomorrow, going through the set list and making sure it all sounded smooth, it was nice to listen from the other room as I got ready and just take peace in his music.
We then shared a great lunch at our favorite restaurant and bought a few more gifts and extra wedding items. Once we got home we decided to get the silverware wrapping out of the way.
Let me just say that last week I tried doing this with different napkins while he was working and it took me about 20 minutes to wrap 8 silverware =/ I thought that I was going to go crazy before I got anymore done so I gave it up. Today we got 150 silverware sets wrapped in 1 hour. Somehow we ran out of spoons so we had to drive back to the store to buy more and while we were out we went to a few other stores for honeymoon clothes that Brett needed.
I was completely amazed to have gotten the worst of the weeks chore out of the way in an hour. Not only that but we had a great time doing it. We set up a nice assembly line, he wrapped, I tied bows and we listened to Tony Rice in the background and had a nice conversation. Today was good. I am really going to miss all of this when it is over. I will probably wonder what to do with myself when I don't have lists on post it notes in every room =)
I am really looking forward to the Stoney Creek's show.
Until tomorrow ...
