Planning

I am struggling with trying to help plan our wedding and working so many hours.  The wedding itself is fun, but I just can't find a whole lot of time.  We have not even discussed registering.  I think with this being a destination wedding (very similar to eloping), me working in another country and the fact that we have both been through this once before kind of makes it a mute point.  We are old enough also to already have everything we could need.

I was reading a friends blog and found she is struggling with the same issue, yet different circumstances.  Another friend of mine here had mentioned a new concept for registering.  I can't remember what it is called but I think it is something similar to a stock shower or stock gift.  It is where people buy stocks based on what they wish for you in life.  Some examples would be:  wishing you a healthy life - they would buy stock for you in a green or organic company;  wishing you many travels - buy stock in airlines; wishing you a family - buy stock in Johnson & Johnson, etc.  Gift cards are always great too since that is something that can be used later when I return home.  I have no idea what to do and I am sure Kirk and I will have this talk soon.  But for now I think we are just happy to get married and spend our lives together and our only wish is that if someone can join us for the special day that is more than enough for us.  It would be an honor to have friends and family join us - be we know that it would be too expensive, especially in the economy now.   I am very happy with a blessing and best wishes.  Maybe once we establish our home, we will have a house warming and belated wedding party!

I am finally settling in to life here.  My schedule will change again next week but I am hopeful that it will stay steady at that time.  I will be working noon to midnight, with a few hours extra on nights when flights arrive late.  It is still 7 days a week - which I really don't mind as long as I can get one or two days off in the next coming months.  I planned on working 7 days a week anyway so it is not too bad.  The long, changing hours is what is doing me in.  My body finally gave out this past week and I got a migraine that was so bad I was sick to my stomach and was seeing spots.  I had to go home - spent the next 24 hours in bed sleeping.  When I finally woke up - I felt like a brand new person and ready to start all over again!

The door bell rang and my third care package has just arrived!  I know it is my second wedding dress (yes, I have two) and some surprises from my mom!  Going to go open it now and get all excited!!!!
