First Post of the Year

I was reminded by my friend Diana today that we are now in the year that Chad and I will get married. That sounds very cool.

Right now I am so busy with work and wrapping up details for the wedding/honeymoon/merge of households, that I don't realize how much there is to be done. I have gone through periods of stress over the last couple of weeks, mostly because of things I can't control. I have not gone completely ballistic yet (despite my pre-Christmas meltdown over the vegan holiday roast).

You know that state between manageable, constant stress, and the excitement of impending fun? That is where I am right now. A lot of my stress will go away in exactly 20 days. I will be on a plane back home from our sales meeting and I will be done with the 2 major parts of my job that can be difficult. Can I tell you how much I am ready for that?

This spring looks to be full of fun and travel...
Jan - Cancun meeting (5 days)
Feb - possible trip to LA for more meetings (3-4 days)
Feb - Trip to Chicago for girls weekend (bachelorette style) (3 days)
Mar - wedding
Mar - honeymoon in France (12 days)
Mar - merge of households
Apr - Boston - for Chad (4 days)

I hope I can channel this cool, collected energy through it all.
