Learning to tie a bow tie is hard.

The beer probably isn’t helping.

[edit]
This is a better video…

I gave up. The Missus has learned how to tie a bow tie. I’ll figure it out later…

So, as my formidable and beautiful ladyfiancee stated, we’re all set.  The truck is packed, and my mind is racing…

Its freakin sweet.  I keep working to pack and prepare, as if for a long trip, and then I remember “wait, this is for a kick ass party”.

Then I remember “wait, I’m marrying my kickass Ladyfriend!”

Those are all good revelations to make!

Excuse me, I just remembered something I have to do…

It’s been fun planning this wedding all by ourselves. We decided yesterday that we are glad it’s here, though. My truck is half packed. The rest of all the goodies are still piled up in the den. I’m excited to see it all together and see if it looks like we planned it to. But… it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t. It’s gonna be awesome.

The last two weeks we’ve been asked by family and friends, if we’re excited. Hell yeah, we’re excited! And now, with the errands complete and all the Needful accomplished… we’ve decided the second most exciting part is getting to see all of our family and bestest friends.

Most of my family is coming. They are all from areas around East TN…so not too much traveling for them. I have an aunt and some cousins in TX that won’t be able to come. It’s a long way. And my BEST friend in the whole world is in TX, too. And selling her house, and moving, and……. well, she can’t come and that makes me sad, but it’s ok. I know she tried. (I’ll miss you, La.)

AT has family coming from all over. He’s tickled. None of the Canadians are coming down, but we’ll see them in May. He’s very happy about all the peeps coming in just for him. I like watching him be excited about it. Today he is excited about tomorrow. He said his “exciteds” don’t happen until right before something happens. Well, folks… he’s got them today. A full-blown case. He’s bouncin’ around here like a little kid getting ready to go to the circus. It’s awesome. Makes me smile. (hee)

All of our friends are awesome. Thanks to everyone who is involved for helping and thanks to everyone else for being so excited for us.

Wow.

Tomorrow.

As of 1:00 today, AT and I were both officially on our 1-week vacation from work. Woot!

The boys went to “spend” with their grandparents in Knoxville, so we can have time to run last minute errands tomorrow to complete our list.
