Happiness not from Shoes

Gleefully, I am updating my wedsite, yes I said wedsite...for my upcoming wedding. I am making a guest list, updating and adapting a budget, getting gown ideas, reception ideas and setting up the webpage for all to see. I am planning which wedding shows to go to, which halls to look at, and as I am finding out, because of the weekend we have chosen, some of the venues are already booked!!! Sheesh!! And I thought I was starting early....considering we are getting married in 2008!! But on I go, planning away, getting excited about picking out party favours....

Yeah.....I know.....what the hell is wrong with me?????? I used to get this way when I was planning a trip to Guess? or Aritzia. I guess it is just that part of growing up we all will get to in due time. In the meantime, I am deep into two books:
Yeah, thaaaaaat's right, I am now reading Bride books: What no one tells the Bride and Planning a Wedding to remember...how sweet!!! Albeit they are cynical, which makes me happy, and helpful, which is good because I was feeling cheap when I bought them....it is still a surreal existence that I am in. A jamais vu, if you will....that is, everything around me is feeling suddenly strange and foreign.....tres bizarre.

That's the one thing I guess I have to realize: that I am growing up. This shouldn't be taken in a negative context at all!! I think it is for the better. I actually get to be happy for the rest of my life....that's pretty freakin awesome!!

I am just really looking forward to looking forward to something positive. University tends to discolour the world slightly. This is definitely a lot of colour....a mosaic of shades, if you will. And I couldn't be happier.
