Bored.

Okay, for those of you that commented on my post about paying debt versus saving for a wedding, I really appreciate it! We are still not completely sure what our plan will be, mostly because there are so many variables still to work themselves out. Like what type of job he'll be able to get when he moves up here, exactly how much I'll have left of my bonus to pay on my credit cards, etc.

We actually haven't even decided what time of year we're going to get married. There are times when I think I want to wait about a year and a half after we're engaged, so that it is during the Fall and we have time to save & plan, especially since I will have to move again before then, and I have no real idea where I will be. But then there are other times when I am almost overwhelmed with the feeling of just getting engaged, that I can't imagine waiting any longer than I must to be married! Times like that, I just want to rush everything to Fall of this year!

I think the whole being away from him (for three weeks now) has really affected me that way. I keep telling myself that this is a small amount of time to wait, compared to the rest of our lives that we'll be spending together. But it seems like it just drags on!

In another area, I have the day off of work tomorrow, which is nice. Even though I normally have Sundays off, I think I will get a day of overtime pay this week because of the holiday & the fact that I'm still working 5 days. THe depressing part is that it will be the first Easter I haven't spent with my boyfriend and family, watching my siblings & cousins hunt for eggs and eating a big dinner at my grandmother's. As of right now, my Easter plans include cooking myself the best meal I've had in a while, cleaning the apartment, and celebrating Easter with the dog & cat. Smile

On the horizon, D (my boyfriend) is coming to visit on Thursday and staying through Saturday morning, so that gives me a little something to look forward to.

Oh, and I had another NSD today. Every little bit helps, right?

    I know how you feel. Once my honey and I decided to get married we only made it about a month. We had a whirlwind wedding on the cheap. we invited about 40 best friends and family, had it at an outside chapel in the woods (free because its in the neighborhood where my parents live) and then had the reception at my parents house. We paid about $500 for the whole affair. We bought and made the food ourselves. It was a great time. even today, people comment that it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to. Just remember. Your wedding is about you and your honey. It's a way to show your friends and family that you are serious about that person. Don't let anyone talk you into making it more complicated or fancy than you want it to be, and don't feel like you need to do certain things just because. It's your day. It should reflect your personalities. And remember, it's supposed to be a party!

    I'm sure y'all will work it out.
