Some of my experiences as a bride-to-be

Am I Crazy?!

Ever since we got the news that I got an offer from Under Armour my mind has been racing about the wedding. Figuring out where Jon and I were going to settle before/after the wedding was the biggest stressor in our lives up until 2 weeks ago and I think it was preventing me from getting excited about the wedding.  As the countdowns on our registries kept ticking away I wasn't feeling excited, I was feeling anxious - that September 10th was just this huge deadline in which one of us had to find a new job.  I was almost certain that as soon as we got the news that I had the job all that stress would melt away.  And it did, for a few days, and now I am starting to feel the pressure to pretty much complete all the wedding plans in the next week before I move to Baltimore.  My mind has been racing at work, at the gym,while I sleep,  you name it, and if I take a minute to think about the things I am stressing about I really think I am going crazy.

On Sunday, my mom and I picked out and bought all the candy for the candy bar (don't worry guests, it all has a shelf life of over 6 months) and I literally was tossing and turning all night dreaming about what we were going to do if the bowls don't get re-filled.  I actually lost sleep over half empty bowls of pink candy. 

Yesterday, I spent 3 HOURS thinking about how I was going to get Hokie Bird wine from Blacksburg to Pennsylvania.  I think I ran though 50 shipping/driving scenarios before I realized that I have a friend who is still in school and I will be seeing her next weekend.  I don't even want to know how much we would have spent on shipping cases of wine to someone that lives out of state (because its a law that you can't ship alcohol in Pennsylvania) and then driving to them to pick it up.  I am pretty sure it would have cost more than the actual wine. 

I think I am going to get an ulcer in my stomach trying to make a decision on plastic vs. glass glasses for beer and if people are going to think its tacky to have plastic cocktail plates.  I swear, my mom and I literally made a pro/con list on plastic vs. glass!  This is the problem when you have 2 people who both care too much about what other people will think. 

I have got to take a step back and try to think about some more important things.  Maybe once I get down to Baltimore and Jon and I have house/apartment hunting to focus on that will help!  I can only hope, or else I might have to invest in some Tylenol PM and wine.
