Happy Valentine's Day !

It's been a few weeks.... and life is changing so fast.

I have a permanent smile on my face, even when the rest of the world seems to be caving in around me at work..... they close down Lake Shore due to snow...... someone calls me an idiot on the phone because they don't read anything mailed to them....... but its all just a minor detail because what really matters is going to marry me next month! The snow storm hit just in time...... as my friends are pointing out..... "Hell hath frozen over.... Cyndi's getting married!!"

They say the top 3 causes of stress are:
1. Starting a new job (did that on January 6th)
2. Moving (moving day is March 3rd)
3. Getting married/planning wedding (planning since Feb. 6..... the big day is March 22 in Las Vegas)

John is kind of a genius..... he saw #1 and #2 coming....and thought to himself " I have to live with this woman through this all at once?" so he got all clever and decided to throw in #3 just to give me a happy distraction. And all I can say is nice job honey.... its totally working.

I'm so happy I feel like a dork. No one should be this excited about something..... I'm a girl, and a cornball, and if it wasn't for Christie I would have a big poofy gown with a 12 foot veil and a tiara on my head. Its hard to say no to those ladies.... they play on your excitement and suddenly become experts on what your future husband would want you to wear without having ever met him. Its freaky, they have mad jedi-mind-trick skills. So, thank you Christie..... it could have been ugly.

And thank to everyone who has called, and thank you Muncie & Mr. Frank for the card.... it means so much to have the support of the people I love. And to go to Las Vegas with 6 weeks notice..... you are all amazing and I can never explain how much it means to me that most of you will be there with us.

Now.......back to the thankless job that makes me want to throw myself into the harbor and chip a hole through the ice just for 5 minutes of salvation.... but I don't because I know John and Gracie are at home making a mess.... and the best feeling in the world is going home to their mess.

Happy Valentine's day,
-Cyn
