Going to the Chapel

Okay, so I'm not really going to the chapel. Just the local Justice of the Peace. Tomorrow afternoon my partner of almost five years and I are legally tying the knot and getting married.

I am: excited, nervous, flouting on cloud nine, and brain dead all at once. I can't believe that he's finally changed his mind about marriage, but I can see how happy he is now that he's decided to go ahead with it. I didn't even believe him until we bought the marriage license on Wednesday (Pennsylvania has a three day waiting period).

It all started Saturday after his great-grandmother's funeral. We stood around his parent's truck with his parents discussing marriage. Which for the past few years has been in his ballpark as I've been asking him on and off if he'd marry me LOL! And then on the way home conversation followed, not all of it happy. We may have sat in the same room for a few minutes and then I just went to the bedroom and watched TV for a while. Even our trip to TOPS later was really quiet. I mean, really really quiet. He didn't even say a word when I set a container of brownies in the cart, and he always has a comment for that kind of stuff.

Monday I went to work like usually, anxiously anticipating the end of the day as after that I was going to be on vacation for the rest of the week (YAY!) and for some reason I checked our bank account at lunch time. I saw he had bought stuff off eBay (he's always doing stuff like that, a little irritating) and I just figured it was truck parts. But I asked anyway…and he wouldn't tell me! So then I just figured that it was something for my birthday.

Well, I didn't want to wait until Wednesday, who would lol, so I started being cute and 'hounding' him a little. He wouldn't give. Until we were on our way out to dinner, our favorite Buffet, and he hands me his iPhone and says, "Alright, go to eBay." I tease him a little, but he insisted so I looked…he had purchased wedding bands!

!!!!!!!

"Are you serious?" I asked.

"Yeah."

But he didn't officially ask me until Wednesday…because again I was teasing him that he hadn't actually asked yet and was just taking it for granted. And I still didn't really believe him until we purchased the wedding license! LOL! After living together for 4 years, why wait and fuss with a wedding I don't have time or patience for?

I'm just hoping he doesn't fuss to much over the picture taking! LOL

Ponderisms

This comes from an email from one of my many sisters. Some are just toooo funny!!! PONDERISMS 1.) I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. 2.) Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. 3.) The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. 4.) Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. 5.) There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead. 6.) Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. 7.) Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. 8.) The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. 9.) Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs. 10.) Have you noticed since everyone has a ca...

Too Soon

"I spoke too soon" Well....sort of. Here's a brief rundown of my first 'drop off run' - u know, taking the kids home. I get all the kids on the bus, knowing that one girl needs to go to daycare, I automatically head for the one she went to last year...as I pull up, she says, "I don't go there anymore...I go to the new daycare..." Uh-oh. Now, this little girls a little more mature than the rest, so I believe her. I tried calling the other driver on the handheld radio to see if he was still at the center...no answer....tried calling the boss...no answer...I went back to the Center...no one could see the bus becuase of the ambulance, so no one could come out. So I cart the girl around the entire hour long route.........at the first stop, I sent a message through the mother to the Center....and then there was a bee on the bus!!!! I killed it, superhero that I am. One girl wants to "swing from the chandleirs"...if the bus had them. Oh m...
