the beaver has landed

[sehkmet]

Well, after a lot of frenzied packing, running around like a lunatic, commuting about a hundred and twenty kilometres in a snowstorm with a loudly objecting cat, a Dodge Sprinter packed to the rafters and a GMC Safari van with yet more stuff

I trust you and Carl to use your admin skills to organize everything.
Don't forget the herd of cats at the wedding.

Also, welcome to America! Now send your weather back home. :D

[sehkmet]

Haha, no herd of cats. Mac is going to be staying safely at home away from crowds. ;)

As Carl says, we left the door open when we left Canada. My bad!

[sillyfox]

Congratulations on a successful move!

Now, take a deep breath and don't stress out over the wedding, okay? I'm sure you'll pull that together and things will be fine. :)

[sehkmet]

Thank you! :)

I'm trying not to stress about it, but I think there's a distinct dichotomy between myself and those around me as to what I want for this whole wedding thing, and it's hard for me to speak up and say anything without offending a whack of folks.

[sillyfox]

Remember - this is yours and Carl's wedding. Make it clear what you want to everyone else, and don't let yourself get talked into anything. Be nice, but firm about it. Tough, I know, but you guys deserve something you're happy with.

(I did go through some of that myself...I still have at least one relation that's unhappy that I married Jim at all. :P )

[sehkmet]

Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat. My family doesn't much like Carl, but they respect that I can make my own choices.

Also, planning a wedding across borders is enough to make saints drink. A lot.

Glad you made it safely! Let me know if you need any emergency supplies of KD, Maple Syrup, or what have you. I can do 'care package'. =)

[sehkmet]

Haha, thanks! We do have KD down here, but I'm sure I'll start jonesing for something in the future.

[ninjaweazel]

hey hey awriiiiight~! Glad to hear the move went well and you've got a new place. Even more glad to hear the new place is this side of the border!

[sehkmet]

What makes it best is that the new place is with Carl, finally. ;)

[ninjaweazel]

man now all I need is a job and some money and some vacation time and I can come dominate space on y'alls couch again. But yeah I am basically super-happy for you guys.

[sehkmet]

As soon as we get a couch, it's up for grabs. ;)

[degraine]

I'm really glad to hear you've finally made it. I look forward to hearing that you guys have finally tied the knot.

[sehkmet]

Well, the date is March 7th! After that, we should be married.

Provided everything goes according to plan. But Carl is involved, soooo...
