Out Of The Blue

Time: 1:00pm
Mood: ..bored..
Song of the moment: Mobile - Out Of My Head

Saturday afternoon and I'm all alone :( Jimmy had to work this weekend... and will be working Saturday's for the rest of this month. I guess it allows me to catch up on some "me" time.

I would say it has been a pretty busy month for me, thus the lack of blog entries. I've just got so much going on it makes my head spin! Since my last blog entry, I've been whipped up in the world of home decor, wedding planning and birthday get-togethers.

Home decor has been.. quite the challenge. What I've learned from this whole experience is that I can't colour co-ordinate for crap. Luckily we brought along Flo and Kin during our first visit (yes.. there was more than one! haha) and they helped us out a lot. There's just so much! Counters, floors, cabinets, carpets, hardwood floor... :S As frustrating as it was, it was also fun! Jimmy and I still have time, our appointments were we actually tell the builder exactly what we want isn't for another 2 months or so. But we did choose our potential brick colours (the default brick colour they gave us was ugly.. it was this salmon pink colour! yuck!)

Wedding planning is going. Our goal was to find a photographer by the end of March and I think we have an idea of who we're going with. Just have to actually book the person now! I had a complete spaz attack a couple of weeks ago, curtesy of frugalbride.com. This girl that has the EXACT same wedding date as me had listed all the things that she has done so far and for flips sake, all she has to do is send out the invitations! I feel so behind! But then again, knowing my nature, if I book everything now, I'm probably going to regret it in a couple of months. As long as I book everything BEFORE the wedding I'm good right? haha!

Speaking of weddings and the title of my entry today, I recently received an email from an old elementry school friend of mines with a simple message: "I'm getting married!". This girl and I used to be best friends in elementry school, but we drifted apart around the 8th grade, and throughout highschool we spoke on occasion. I havn't spoken to her in a long time, so to get this email from her was a wonderful surprise. I wrote her back to her, congratulating her and told her about my upcoming wedding. She wrote me back and told me she wanted to invite me to her wedding. I was absolutely touched. Even after all this time, she still considers me a good friend.

It feels great to know that I still have personal ties with my childhood. Life really catches up to you as you get older and I find it's so easy to forget that you were once a kid. Old friends definitely have a way of allowing you to re-live some of the most precious moments in your life. I'm glad that out of the blue moment has made me realize how lucky I am.
