Man, nigahiga made the most hilarious video I had seen in a while: Bromance!
It's made me laugh for days.

This weekend was super busy, like every weekend tends to be these days.  Friday I thought I was going to get an evening to spend at home relaxing since Mike's party got canceled but nobody told poor Uzo so he wound up ringing my doorbell at 9pm. Jeremy and I were just goofing off so we decided to head out to a local chinese that we like and then to Applebees for some drinks.  I think I'll be going to Applebees after 10pm from here on out because their drinks and apps are half off! I ordered the potato appetizer and had two long islands for $8.50! Holy crap! That was awesome. Uzo had a bit too much so he came back home with us and spent some time on my floor cuddling my cats. Uzo should definitely get a cat. I love mine and they'd be perfect for a condo the size of his.

Saturday I had a little time in the morning to sleep in and try and get some cleaning done. Jeremy drove me over to my cousin's house for a party and I spent the night at my parents house after.  Sunday they took me to a bridal expo at the Renaissance Waverly and I saw a few more vendors. There was a beautiful dance floor that was all white and lit from below with small white leds, making it look like stars twinkling. I bet that's expensive. 

Everything is expensive. I mean, we did book the largest, most beautiful hotel in Atlanta. It's atrium is only outdone by the  Burj Al-Arab in Dubai.  I shouldn't pretend it's a surprise that everything is this expensive. It's alright. This is life. I only have one day to experience this myself. The next time I will be even as remotely involved is the marriage of my future children.

This will be a stunning event. It's the final seal on a story that has been written and has unfolded over 13 years. It is the pinnacle of our work together in our relationship, the work of our families to overcome cultural rifts, and the groundwork for what I hope to be an extraordinarily grateful life with an amazing partner in crime.

I'm blessed. 

I have my moments when planning this event gets to feel a bit overwhelming but the reality is that whatever I do, I want to strive to do it well. Despite my doubts, this will be the event of the year and a showcase of God's goodness in our lives. Without his hand in our family history for centuries, my family would not have survived all the hardship and I would not be here on this land, walking this soil, reaping these blessings.
