all roads come to an end
and begin in a new direction.

on to more interesting adventures,
where laundry meets the highway.

i am eating gummi army guys
as if nothing unusual has happened.
another day
another dollar,
right, kids?

[peoples' legs sticking out of your mouth
is definitely out of the ordinary.]

so now my primary focus
is to be a good wife,
not one of those evil ones
who are always stealing the covers.

her spice is all around me.
sometimes you forget the wonderful way
your friends smell.
[i even forgot caleb.]

the wedding dress is done.
done, done, done.
it's even more beautiful than i am.
come to think of it,
that's not hard.

3.

charity is here.

i biked to my house
and my dad yelled lines to me
from the jabberwocky
and i called back to him, filling in the blanks.
like nonsense.
beautiful loud, meaningful nonsense.

my cousins are coming tomorrow.
and that means we are painting!
[Lord willing.]

my last normal saturday at home.
so many lasts right now,
and so many firsts to come.

thank you for all the fun last night.
illegal photographs
invading boys
and beautiful stir-fry!

7.

my last day at work.
and the night of our bachelor parties.

[why do we feel the need
to set aside a special time
to say good bye to singleness,
that 'disease' people are always
trying to get rid of?
is it for us,
or are we treating our friends
to one last night out alone?]

from here on out,
time is going to fly.

8.

marriage license!

nathan said i did a good job mudding the walls!
and that they are about ready to paint.
i am so glad i did something right.
