I have so much to write here that I don't even know where to start.
It's been just about the craziest two weeks of my life, and definitely the happiest. After months and months of planning and stressing out, everything went off perfectly and we had the best wedding I could have possibly imagined. Everything worked. Everyone had a great time and hey! I'm now a married lady. Hasn't really sunk in yet (I think it'll be a while) but a gigantic weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel so incredibly at peace now. I can actually plan ahead now! I don't have to pack bags and leave again! I finally get to stay here for good!

Anyway, I'm gonna try to write up a few entries here about the two weeks we've had. And I'll have photos. Lots and lots of photos. Pre-christmas, Christmas, pre-wedding, wedding, Galveston, New Year's, etc etc etc. As it'll still be some time before I have to seriously start looking for work (paperwork needs to be done, etc), I can spend the time really organizing photos and videos and share with everyone who couldn't be there.
As for now though, let me just wish everyone a happy new year, and may 2010 bring you oodles of good stuff and joyness and all that. Thank you all SO MUCH for the wonderful messages, cards, gifts, etc, etc, etc that you sent me and Graham. I'll thank you each individually when I can but for now I don't want you to think I don't appreciate everything. Because holy cow, I do. I love you guys, thanks for making 2009 so awesome :)

Transported
I'm in Dallas!
Keep meaning to post here updating and it just keeps...slipping. Too many things to do (not really, I lounge around while Graham's at work), people to see (Graham. Too cold to go outside), countries to conquer (true), etc.
Anyway, I'm here and it's awesome and I'm already starting to think about the future--something I haven't been able to do with any clarity for a very, very long time.
19 days to the wedding. eeee!

finally!
keep myself from going crazy trying to remember it all:
1) Get the invitations printed. I've already designed the invitations myself. But now I'm considering changing the colors to fit the season better. Need to find a nice place to print them and get them all mailed out ASAP.
2) Get the favors finished. The favors are gonna be awesome. We're having someone make them, and I need to give her the date so she can put it on the things. I won't tell you what they are. Bwah.
3) Guest Book. I want to make my own Guest Book, with some watercolor paintings. Need to get started on that TODAY. I was planning on buying a nice journal with textured paper, but so far I've been unable to find one. So I'll use my sketchbooks and hope it all turns out great.
4)Hairand veil. I have my dress, shoes, jewelry. I want to use my mom's old veil (she still has it!) but it needs to be fixed as it has a giant swathe of bright pink tulle on it . Oh, the 80s. And I need to figure out how to wear my hair. Harder said than done, as I hate my hair and can never get it to look good except on like, Sunday night before I go to bed.
5)Flights!. I just realized that it'll be for good this time. That's kind of terrifying. Turns out one-way trips are ridiculously expensive, so I'll figure something out and make the return a year from now. Maybe we can come here for next Christmas?
6)Pack up!. While I did take most of my room with me when I went off to college, this will be slightly different. I'm actually thinking of starting to ship things off before I leave, such as winter clothes or shoes that I won't be using here. And books. So many of those.
That's all I can think of for now. Oh, and of course on Monday I need to go to the Embassy and actually get the package and Visa. That'll be fun.
I also need to finish the Cannonball. I'm on Book #85, which means I need to read 15 by the end of this month. Eep!
I'll probably be editing more things into this. It's a lot, but yay! I'm so happy to finally be at the place where I can actually plan all of this.
