The fantastic dress


My dress was a big hit.

Wedding-A little drama but no bloodshed.


It went pretty well. It is kind of a blur to me right now. I just want to post pictures and write later!

So four more days

Well its almost the big day. I have been consumed with wedding preparations and haven't kept up with my blog. Why does it take so long to coordinate an event that only lasts an afternoon?
Each wedding is a unique expression of the personality of the bride. The groom has an effect on the wedding planning but he really just sits back and waits til his cue.
It is so emotional for everyone involved because it is a huge life changing event. So all the participants and guests are kind of raw from the thought of it.
I am a bit raw from it. But I am officially declaring that my fun time has begun. I have planned every detail. I have tip toed and plowed through personality-crushing conflicts. I am ready to let it all play out gracefully. I am now going to join Dean and just show up and get married.

Good-bye Indigo

Indigo never came home. We have tried everything to find him. I keep dreaming that he is with me then I wake up and he is gone. So which reality is the nightmare?
I raised the kitten after he was found with his littermates in the back of a PSNC Energy truck. He was tiny and just weaned. He grew into a large rambunctious cat with an extraordinarily long tail. He had so much energy and such a huge personality that it is almost impossible for me to understand that he is gone. He may not just be "gone", he may be dead.
Unfortunately, I have to deal with this and accept what is before me and move on. I can't keep holding onto my exquisite sadness because it is so hard to live that way.
Prolonged grief is so destructive to my ability to function. I need to not only function but to feel good and happy. There are so many reasons to be happy--Dean, Seamus, Shelby and Elvis. My home, my job, my health and my upcoming wedding.
So, Indigo--my precious, sweet cat. I will hold you in my heart forever and will always miss you. I am so happy I had you for as long as I did. Thank-you. I love you. Good-bye.
