Another day, another step closer to the wedding! But in this day, I had a very helpful friend by my side.
Tina came by today and we did my save-the dates. I really love them and I can't wait for everyone to see them! Eeek! And Tina did an AMAZING job. Seriously - wait until you see them ~ they're awesome.
So remember everyone - save the date!

RIP
I can't believe MJ is gone. I'm still in utter shock. He was such an icon for me.
The very first tape I ever got was Bad. I used to play it in my ghetto-blaster in the basement and dance and dance and sing as loud as I could. I loved it.
I can't believe it. Such shock.
And you know what else I can't believe? I can't believe the way people are insulting him and poking fun at his passing. Have some respect for the dead. Some people think they are so above him. I don't understand. He's an icon. He's MICHAEL JACKSON for crying out loud!
Who the hell do people think they are? I've blocked a few people from showing on my Facebook feed today just because they are being rude, arrogant asses.
And now the controversy has begun. Unless there's foul play, can't a man just go in peace?
RESPECT - people could learn a thing or two nowadays.

Latest in life
Hmm... what's been going on with me?
We picked up the new car yesterday, and it was wonderful. I really like the way it drives - I think we made a wonderful choice. I'm really happy with it. And I can't wait to sit in the passenger's seat! (hehe - luvvvooo)
Everyone knows about Jenn leaving, and I hate it too :( I'm going to miss her so much. It's so sad and I don't want her to go. I want to kidnap her and hide her in someone's lush (but secret) basement apartment.
Alice and Pascal are coming up for a wedding this weekend and will be sleeping over here. It'll be nice to see her.
Adam and I picked up all the things we need for our announcements/save the dates (except [postage - Adam.... we need the postage). I'm really excited to see how they turn out. I have to admit, I had no idea I could fins all things I needed at Staples.... I'm utterly impressed.
Rowan is in the hospital again. He was in most of last week, and they admitted him again today. I hate it. I want him and Maren here where I can be there to hold their hands and actually DO something and be there. I hate not being able to be there. It sucks.
I finished my last stats assignment tonight with Adam and Melissa. Thank goodness! Now I just have to survive the exam..... It might be a little stressful on Friday... what the heck am I saying? It's been stressing me out hardcore for weeks! Word to the wise: NEVER take an accelerated stats course. Never!
Saturday Adam and I had my family in from the valley for a little get together. Sabrina and the kids even made it! My mom and Sabrina came in and we went to the bridal store to see my dress. I was so happy to have Mom there and she loved the dress. Then Krystal's BF Mike went with Adam and I to check over the car (Chevy mechanic for 14 years ~ I love having connections). Then we came back here and had a potluck supper. We invited Adam's mom & her husband over and we all toasted, with a big bottle of champagne, our engagement. (We've been so busy these last couple of weeks we haven't had a chance to do any celebrating, it's a little disappointing actually).
Hey - it just occurred to me that a lot of peeps haven't seen the ring yet. WTF?
Dad was a complete ass while he was here. I don't really plan on talking to him for awhile. He's an adult and should know by now how to treat others with respect.
Anyway, at 2 am, it's time for bed.

I'm weird, yup. I know.
One day, a long time ago, I was in a high school English class (Mr Parrot's class), sitting with my friend Melissa. I'm not sure how the subject came up, but I asked her how she sees numbers - what pattern they are to her.
She thought I was cracked. Seriously cracked.
I tried to explain to her what I meant, and even drew her a diagram of how I see the calender year.
She thought I was cracked. And told me so :)
The thing is, I see the years, year, months, month, days, weeks, week, hours, numbers and alphabet in a certain pattern in my mind. It's the way it is. I thought everyone did. In fact, I was always curious what the pattern looked like for people who are super good at math, and I thought that if I could change mine, then I could be better at it. In a way, I still do.
Melissa thought I was crazy. I felt like an idiot. She told me she didn't visualize anything like that. It took me until this year to ask anyone else.
I asked Adam, a couple of months ago. He had no idea what I was talking about either.
Then, we saw a story on W5. Turns out, I'm not crazy. It's a condition where one part of the brain talks to the other. They think 1/23 people of it. It's called synethesia; it's a type of sensory confusion.
For some people, synethesia means seeing letters or numbers in color, or even tasting certain colors.
Question for you: what color is the letter R?
I feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one. And now I'm not scared to admit that I see things slightly differently.

Poo-ey
I love my Adam and my life. I love my relationship with the man of my dreams. I love that I get to marry my best friend and hang out with him every day of my life. I love him.
I love that we got a new(ish) car. I love that right now he's smiling at me. I love that Max is curled up asleep and being too cute for words.
He just blew me a kiss.
I love him.
But I don't love when life gets turned upside down. This has been happening a lot the last couple of weeks. And we got more bad news today.
But I get to marry Adam in 1 year and 2 months. And I can't wait to be his wife.

What a long freaking week this has been so far. So much is happening. Ugh. But the family is coming into town on Saturday, so hopefully it'll be a good time.
Long day tomorrow.
Going to be to curl up with my hunny now. Thank goodness.

Beautiful Hali Day
It was a beautiful day in Halifax today. Just lovely! The sun shone, and there was a light breeze and it was great.
I couldn't stand being indoors today, so I got in touch with Mindy to see if she wanted to go bridal shopping, and she already had a full day planned with Emily, so I joined the party and had a girly,
day of wedding stuff. It was a lot of fun, and I got to talk about all the details with another bride, which is great. We both agreed that most everyone is sick of hearing about it, and then we end up feeling guilty about being so excited we could burst , and then engagement guilt kicks in, then angst, then guilt....and it just perpetuates a horrible cycle. So yeah - good to talk to someone who doesn't zone out when the subject comes up.
On the super best side of the day, I found my dress at another boutique, nearly $100 cheaper than the original place. So - yay! And they told me it only takes 3 months to arrive, vs the 6 months everyone else tells you. So, this is really wonderful :) They have been encouraging me to wait until their tax free sale this winter, but I would rather just order it, own it, and have it. Then I don't have to worry about it. And I don't want to have to worry about anything this time next year. I don't want to be a stressed out bride.
BAD PART OF THE DAY
Rowen is in the hospital. He hasn't gained enough weight since he was born, so they are trying to find out why, and fix the problem. I really wish I was there, I hate them being so far away.
Love you Mar & Row Row
