Truth be told it feels like it’s speeding up.  We’ve got roughly 28 days until the wedding and we’re both weeded to no end.  We’re getting things ironed out every day but the reality of our timeline is setting in.  There are just a few little things that would be noticeable if we didn’t get to them.  Like the cakes, do you think that anyone would really miss having cake at the wedding?  I mean, we will have booze, isn’t that enough?  No?  Alright, it’s still on the list.

Next we’ve got the issue of music.  This one doesn’t seem like it would take a long time but between work, getting kids fed and into bed and trying to go to the gym every once in a while, we’ve run out of time.  I’m taking the night off from all activities to see if we can’t work on this one a little.  The guy even gave us a form.  It’s just a matter of getting it done.

Next up, home repairs.  Seems we’re going to have a few people over at the house for a few days during the wedding and this means it’s the perfect time to get some minor plumbing issues taken care of… like putting the faucet back on the front bath.  A little while ago it decided to eject itself and I’ve yet to find the right kind of replacement.  Maybe I’ll have more luck tonight at Lowe’s.

Finally, we’ve got the issue of passports.  For those that don’t know, you need a passport these days to get in and, more importantly, out of Mexico.  That requires a birth certificate, driver’s license and a pile of money at your local post office to make a reality.  My experience was a little over $200 and well over 2 hours at the post office.  The good news is that it only took 6 days to get a new passport.  FMT might be pushing the deadline though.  Apparently her birth state is one of those still off the grid for online ordering of replacement certs.  Arkansas One, Connecticut Zero.  Now she’s gone third party to make it happen and it’s taking a bit longer than anticipated.  We’re staying positive though.  It’s going to happen on time. I know it is.

So beyond that, I haven’t really slept in a week or two now from a combination of new job/getting married/everything else but who’s really counting anymore.  I’m looking forward to the wedding as much as I’m looking forward to getting it over with and getting to Mexico.  I know it’s going to be a blast and everyone is going to have a great time… even if we don’t have cake.

Kidding…

Side Note:
This post would typically live on the wedding blog but I’m feeling like my personal blog is getting too business-like.  I want to bring back some of the old Jay stuff.  What do you think? Keep it segregated or bring back the mix? Post your thoughts below! I’m really curious what keeps people coming back.
