Gone

So, I've been gone almost a full month.  Sorry about that.  It's been kind of a crappy month, and most of my funny has been missing.

Actually, not true.  My funny has been here, but it's the kind of irreverent funny that can get me in serious trouble.  Or at least make me feel extremely guilty for not being a better person, morally.

My dad died early this month.  A sudden massive heart attack, coupled with an aneurism.  All kinds of not fun.  So my sister and I spent the next week dealing with it, including a trip to Ohio.  In January.  Of course it snowed.

Followed by 2 weeks of in-depth wedding planning, because, well, that's what I could think of to do.  This is the first time in weeks I've felt normal enough to do almost anything outside of what had to be done...or wedding plan.

But it's been a productive 2 weeks.  We chose a florist, finished up cupcake tastings (the choice will be made this weekend), registered for gifts, and sent out invites.  I've also been slowly amassing decorations, am working out favors, and in general trying to figure out just what all still needs done.  As it turns out, not as much as I thought, at this point.

Now, the funny is potentially back, and oh man, do I love cupcake tasting.  We went to a local bakery last night where the cupcakes were good, but I walked out saying "So much sugar..." in the bad way.  I think that means I'm finally growing up.  Though, I still do love pizza.  Sigh.

Also, my photographer is fantastic.  I just want to say that.  She's fun and funny and I'm super excited to work with her.

We figured out the wedding theme a while ago.  Fun.  That's all we care about.  Now, I need to get a move on, because I'm spending my day downtown, just enjoying Portland, because I miss it.
