Tomorrow I leave once again for GA. Besides this trip down there and the two I have planned to come here and pack, move and get Ryan, this should be the last trip back and forth, other than visits to my dad. I give him a year before he is packed up himself and right down the road from me.

Today I talked to my real sister on the phone, and she is really trying to work it out to come to the wedding. We talked about a lot of things, and how even though it would be somewhat awkward, it will be an experience I and she wants to have. I got to talk to my niece and nephew for the first time, and was just so warmed by how much she is wanting to let me into their life. She said both of my brothers want to come, but neither can afford it. No matter, just that she is trying to come means so much to me.

This coming week we have so much to do. Monday, I have to make a list of everything, from the final favors to get done to buying the bubbles or rice. I pick up my wedding dress on Monday also, and I cannot wait just to have it in my possession. I love this dress, it is just so pretty and simple. And on Monday both of my wedding night nighties should arrive...I will have to hide them to make sure I don't get tempted to wear them before hand.

PLUS...and here is the big thing...

We get to see Nookie again and meet Boo. Yippee!!! We are all going to dinner and to a Braves game. I am sure pictures will be taken, as he loves the camera.

My maid of honor told me that it is bad luck for us to be together at all that day, and that he should stay somewhere else. I know this, and we have talked about it, but I am being selfish...I want him with me...however, we decided he will stay at a friends and I will be at the house and we will figure out who is doing the setting up of the reception and who is doing the chapel.

Either way, I cannot wait for that day to come. I know I am going to cry, I will cry as soon as my dad gives me away. I will cry as we say our vows, and I will cry probably until the reception starts. I am just emotional that way.

I cannot believe that it is so close, that it is almost finally here. You know something else...I cannot wait to taste the cake!!! Vanilla cake with a strawberry filling, yummy...
