Well, the girls are off. Half my “Europe team” is taking off from Intercontinental right now—headed for Canada, then London, then Scotland. *sniff* I already miss them even though I’ll see them in a week. I’ll tell ya it’s weird saying, “See you in London” to your friends.
Wait! That means I only have a week to finish getting ready! aaaaaaa….. *runs off screaming*
I’ve had way too many nightmares about not being ready. I can just seeing me trying to finish up laundry on Monday morning and not having anything done. I suppose it’s that feeling of terror that will get me packed by Sunday afternoon. :-Þ I’m so glad Hannah is flying with me. I have a feeling she’ll be prepared early and something about that will settle me down.
Went to a wonderful wedding on Saturday. It was sweet and simple, very personal. I loved watching Heidi and Will together. I hope I have fun at my wedding like they did.
Hannah H. and I danced a little bit. Jitterbug, some swing. She taught me a move she does with her brother. Neither of us is very good, mostly due to lack of practice, but we laughed a lot and that’s what matters.
Weddings are getting harder. I like them, but I cry more. It doesn’t help that the brides I know keep getting younger and younger. Now we’re marrying off the ones I can remember as babies. *sigh* I suppose I’ll get used to it; it will never get better an’ I ain’t gettin’ any younger.
Maybe someday, many years from now, I’ll sit in a wedding and watch somebody I babysat say her vows (or his vows) and smile and pat my husband’s hand and think, This is sweet, but I liked mine best.

Well that’s a challenge to a(n apparently mis-) conception I had drawn of your group. Well, at least not you in particular. This wedding stuff is crazy. By the time this year is out, I’ll have probably been in three, possibly four, of them. I think my mother is starting to get a tad more than anxious for me.
You girls better have fun, you hear?
Actually that post is outdated. Two days later, he said they decided I would be more effective where I am, and won’t be reassigned in the near future. Oops. But I’m protesting. I’m ditching work for a week and driving (or more likely flying) up the east coast. Well, almost certain. Depends on it working out with a few friends up there.
About attitudes toward marriage. I had the idea it wasn’t all that much of a priority for quite a few people around.
Well I don’t exactly go around asking!
