Yesterday marked one month until I get married. Here's a few quick takes of what has been going on around here.
1. There was an eight hour manhunt in my small town of 1500 last week. A man murdered someone and then was on the run. I don't know what of the rumors were true or not, but my fiance and I holed up in an upstairs room, with the lights out, checking social media, and had a couple knife blocks with us. The suspect was either captured or turned himself in the next morning.
2. I've been sick, and my fiance has been sick. I was supposed to have my teeth cleaned this week, but had to reschedule. I get to do that next week. I also binge watched Bulloch Family Ranch on gMovies. (I have a giveaway going on for a six month subscription to gMovies. Open to the US and Canada and ends 4/26.)
3. Yesterday was one month until the wedding. Being sick for a week this close to the wedding? Ain't nobody got time for that! I've had a virus and then immediately developed a cold, barely over the viral infection.
4. Our premarital counseling was this week. All I have to say is I hope the minister was wrong when he said that we'll always have things happen like last year and will never be done renovating the house. (Last year 10 family, friends, and neighbors passed away, there was a breast cancer scare, diabetes diagnosis, false police report against me, blackmail that I didn't give into, burst water pipes, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.) Renovating the house has been going on since November. It's been an expensive process, lots of surprises (and none of them good), and even having to saw through a floor to get to the main water shut off. Why it was put under a floor I don't know. But I hope the minister actually meant small home repairs and not that we would always have projects like this going on:
5. I was feeling so bad yesterday that one of my blogger programs announced they would be opening an amazing blogger opportunity later. I read that, and fell asleep and dreamed they gave us ice cream and that it helped my throat from being sore. (Needless to say when I woke up, I got some of the strawberry cheesecake ice cream that is in the freezer.)
6. I registered to attend the National Sweepstakes convention in Boston. I can't buy my plane tickets yet because I'm not sure if my name will officially be changed by then or not, but I'm excited.
7. I found out that a roommate from college is flying in for my wedding. I was on a Campus Crusade summer missions project in 1996, and three of my four roommates will be coming in even though they live in Montana, Kansas, and Tennessee. It is very sad my parents wont' be at my wedding (they are both deceased) but these girls will help add so much joy to my wedding. I can't begin to tell you what a blessing it is they will be there. Yes, I'll miss my parents greatly, but there will still be so much love surrounding me. I haven't seen them since 1998, 2005, and 2006, and we will Skype with the one girl who won't be here. Its going to be amazing.

Best wishes on your upcoming nuptials! I do hope that you won't have another year like last, but I can promise you that each and every year will bring its own set of challenges and joys. Many that you won't have anticipated. I hope that you feel well quickly. It's the changing of the seasons that always gets people. We're dealing with sniffles here, but I'm thinking they are allergies. Have a great weekend!
