update

i really couldn't think of a more clever title than that. my apologies. here's what's going down in the house of love my friends:
wedding plans are slowly coming along. and by slowly, i mean, it's completely out of my control and i'm being taught some serious patience. have you ever gotten married for a 2nd time? no, just me? well, let me tell you it takes some precious time to get that paperwork business right. the goal is to get married sometime in 2012. sheesh.

which just reminded me, we need to look into that whole marriage license thing. or we could be like my best friend's brother who didn't know he needed a license and everyone showed up for a wedding and it just turned out to be a party since nothing was legal. follow that by a quick drive to vegas the next day for the real day. man, that's a great story. that's why i love that family. but i digress..

i really don't want to have to plan this wedding much. for example, i got a wedding planner. does that sound like i'm j.lo or something? although, i would have to get married a 3rd time to technically be like j. lo. some days i think having a wedding planner is great and other days i'm like, what am i paying her for, i could do that! but really, i don't want to do that. my goal is to show up to my wedding and have everything look beautiful, taste great and already done for me. like j.lo does of course.

my kiddos are cute. grace is obsessed with finding a flower girl dress. i took her wedding dress shopping with me, thinking it would be a fun mother daughter experience. she really was just bored and wanted to try on dresses for her. cause after all, it's grace's day.

scott is great. i think i like him more than when i said yes. hopefully this continues. ;) he puts up with my random outbursts of impatience, tears and anxiety with such ease. he's probably wondering where his awesome girlfriend went. who knew i was such a wreck? oh, you probably did.

i've pretty much mentally checked out of work. i'm not sure why, cause i don't have another job lined up. i just wish i did. i've applied to many, many places looking for a job that's more suitable for family life. plus, those neuro patients are driving me crazy. i will be a patient on that floor soon.

i'm so grateful to be at this point in my life now. i really didn't think it would happen. my life is so stressful right now, and things keep piling up, but i'm so so happy to have someone to keep me sane. thats all for now folks!

You can do it Bon! Once you cross that line of marriage life is gumdrops and rainbows forever after, well maybe not exactly like that. . . but it is "easier"? Maybe not exactly that either, how about "different". A change of pace and scenery is always nice. Hang in there cutie pie!

Paperwork is so annoying! Hang in there, pretty soon it will be done & you will be happily married.

I will also plan "mom moments" with my children that rarely end up how I imagine.

Bon,
Have you checked out PCH? The NICU is really understaffed. I thought that is were you said you wanted to work. Good luck with wedding planning. It is so stressful. I think a wedding planner is an awesome idea to relieve some of that :)

I love the wedding planner idea, hand down, no matter what. I wish I would have done that...(28 years ago - lol) You're amazing and always will be! (Scott thinks so too) :D
Love ya!

Lame things are stressful right now though I have to admit the way you wrote this post totally cracked me up. Getting a wedding planner was the best idea EVER! I was so thankful I did not have to deal with all those little details :) luv u sis!

I wish I had had a wedding planner. Talk about way less stressful! I was too worried about everything else to enjoy my wedding day. Congrats again, so happy for you!

Wedding planner, you'll never regret it. I believe your engagement is one of those times you look back on and think, "how did I do that?!". I'm sorry Bonnie bell! If there's something I can do 1500 miles away I'll do it!!!!

You are such a good writer. Just wanted to let you know that this weekend I found out that your Scott is my sister in laws nephew. (my brother is married to Scott's dads Sister Jeanne). They are an awesome family. You did good Bonnie!! Let me know if I can help you with anything.
