| It's been a while since my last post. Part of it is being too busy, but I think another part of it is that what I have to say these days don't belong on this blog. Not to say that they don't belong on any blog, but for some reason, I feel that this one may be finished. I'm about to get married. It's a completely new chapter in my life. I feel like a different person now than I was when I began writing here. With the changes, I think a change in blog locations and purpose may be in order. I don't know when or where I may blog again, but this one will remain open for history's sake. I've had this xanga site since November 10, 2003. I was a sophomore in high school and definitely wasn't expecting to be where I am today. I had imagined writing in this same blog when I get married and have kids, but I don't feel like this is the place for that anymore. So, at just weeks short of being 6 years old, it seems I'm leaving this site to rest with what remains of the Xanga community.
Until we meet again.

| I'm getting married in 54 days!
Excited? Yes!
Nervous? A little, because I have so much to do and so little time to do it.
I do feel like I've got a lot accomplished these past few weeks, but there's still so much more to do. Edgar and I secured a townhouse for ourselves to live in once we're married. I'll be moving in around November 11, or sooner if they can get the placed cleaned and prepared for us in record time. Got the cake ordered and Edgar's ring ordered, as well as my gift for my mom. I still need to decide on tuxes and pass the info onto my groomsmen. I have no idea how that whole process works, so I'm definitely going to need some assistance there! Also need to plan the ceremony, music, and the slideshow. Also need to get my jewelry and decide what I'm going to do with my hair. All the big stuff has been planned. Now it's down to the nitty gritty stuff. Been working on invitations since this past weekend, and the wording for the response cards is getting so tedious. Once that's done I can print those off and get them in the mail in about a week and a half!
So as you can see, it's been busy. With wedding planning on top of moving, school (my last term for this specific grad program ends October 24), working, regular household responsibilities, maintaining some sort of link to my church group, and somehow shoving sleep in there, I'm just about eager to get it all over with so I'll have two less huge things to worry about (the wedding and school).

It doesn't matter how much someone can hurt you or how emotionally removed you can become from someone, if you loved them, on some deep level, you will always want the best for them. It still hurts to watch them live an empty life.

A long-time friend of mine lost her boyfriend/fiance over the weekend. I never met him, but their relationship was a great inspiration to me. Nicolle and Nathan had such a purity and clarity of love that radiated with God's light. I've gone to funerals for distant family members and not shed a tear, but as I sit here, I cry for the the loss of someone I've never even seen or spoken to. His legacy has reached far, and God will continue to do His work through Nathan, even with him gone from this earth.

Normally Sundays prove to be lazy days in which we have a hard time making ourselves prepare anything more than a sandwich for dinner, but recently I've been wanting to try a real non-cafeteria-made roast beef, so Catherine and I decided to plan a good traditional Sunday dinner.
On the menu:
- Roast beef with cabernet brown gravy
- Rosemary roasted potatoes
- Green beans with bacon and onion
- Yorkshire pudding
- Homemade apple pie
Everything is made from scratch, just about. The vegetables are made with fresh, not frozen, ingredients. The only thing ready-made is the pie crust and whipped cream. We even brewed the tea from tea bags!
We're pretty excited. We even set the table with Catherine's pretty new china and my nice water/tea goblets.
