Counting down.

The first thing our friend said to me at church Wednesday was, "52 days!!!"

Apparently, she's counting down for/with me. :)

So, it's official: We've got our wedding date set--March 28th.

And I do mean this March.

2009.

Yeah, most people are less like Candise ("52 days!!!") and more like... "52 days?!?!?!"

Sure, lots of folks think they need 52 weeks to pull off a wedding. But we simply don't buy that.

And we're probably a touch crazy.

Crazy in LoOoOoOovE.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist...)

Besides, why stress for a year (or a year and a half, or two years, or... more) when you can just stress for two months?

Things are coming together swimmingly. We know the where--at Oglesby Union Church, where so many prayers went up for me during my time in Sudan--and the when--soon! hooray! We're casting out invites next week to the who. And we certainly know the Why.

It should be mentioned, my mom has taken this on as her new fulltime job. And she really seems to enjoy it. Actually, I know she enjoys it. She told me so. When I called her while she was at a flower place, paging through book upon book of flower decorating ideas.

So, life is a bit insane right now, but insane in a really good way. I get to marry Eric. And not only that, I get to marry Eric in less than two months.

Fifty days (!!!!), today, to be exact.
