David and I finally had a lovely evening at home to ourselves, with no appointments or distractions or stress. We worked in the yard until it grew dark, then I completed the next layer of kitchen wall while he made dinner; we cuddled on the sofa and watched Extras, then chose some favorite photos for the wedding and then went to sleep. IN THE BIBLICAL SENSE.

...No, wait, that doesn't even make sense.

People keep asking *Are you crazy? Are you flipping out? Are you stressed?*and I hope I'm not fooling myself when I say quite honestly that I am none of those things. As I have made very clear the only things that give me worry are that a.) we want clear weather; and b.) we want friends to have fun - but there is nothing I can do to influence the first, and very little that we haven't already arranged for to influence the second, so what shall be shall be, whether I be flipping out or not, so might as well NOT.

The fact that the 15 day forecast now reaches the day before the wedding and it is looking very positive has relaxed me greatly. I know it is quite unreliable until we get within a week or so, but it does make me feel better anyway.

Tomorrow we go with my mother to get our wedding present from her - a new mattress! We've had all sorts of mattress problems since we moved, and we are so excited about this. I would love to invest in an organic mattress but we just can't afford it - we'll see what the mother wants to spend, but even if we have to get the regular ol' chemical-laden one I can't help but think our bodies will thank us anyway. Our current mattress is much too old and large (we are NOT king bed fans... or, rather, it is wasted on us) and we have grown to actively despise it. Even if we do spend a lot of time in it. IN THE BIBLICAL SENSE.

...Not sure that made much sense either.

Anyway, now I am super happy because I have gotten friends' flight times and arrivals and I CAN'T BELIEVE how many of my friends are coming from out of town! Two from Amsterdam even! Way more than I anticipated! I feel so loved. Of course there are several as well I just would have loved to see here but who cannot make it - I understand, of course. But I'm still sad. And I would have so loved being Brandon's first. IN THE BIBLICAL -

...No! That just would have sounded quite wrong.

You need to try the Biblical line around town, for a bible-thumping state I bet 90% of people wouldn't even understand it.
