| Neil and I are now proud home owners. We will officially close on May 23rd. I am terrified. I can't believe I am about to put myself in debt for the next 30 years. It is a really cute house, and good for a first home, but I still can't believe we are really doing this. We looked at it for the first time a week ago, and we plan to move in two weeks from now. I am so nervous about everything. I have had this wonderful sense of freedom for the past four years. If I wanted to pick up and go anywhere else in the world, I only needed to give 30 days notice and I was gone. I could just leave. I had money that I could have lived off of for a year or two, and done something else, but now, all of that is gone. I just over a month, I will have a husband and a house of our own. I know that's the American dream and only guys are supposed to be afraid of commitment, but here I am, shaking in my boots.
Wedding stuff is rolling right along though. I just need to order the flowers, and get the programs taken care of. Not too much stuff left to do. In four more days, we will be able to pick up our license and get that taken care of.

| Whew! What a weekend! I feel like I have been going nonstop. Mostly, I feel that way because I have. Friday night, I hit the mall right after school for some tax free shopping. I got quite a few things before Neil and I met up to look at houses. We had a heck of a night. Most of the houses were decent, but not what we were looking for. One I really like, we had to leave because they left so many candles going that it made me sick. Another house we looked at was the filthiest thing I have ever been in. The smell of dog pee was overwhelming from the minute we opened the door. I couldn't believe how awful it was. Even Neil who can barely smell, was overcome.
Saturday, I judged a solo and ensemble festival. It was a really good day. I heard so many wonderful kids play. I tried to do more shopping after that. I got the blusher for my veil. Its finally done. I have ordered every single thing that I need to wear on my wedding day! I am so excited. I got a few things at some other places, but nothing too crazy. I had guests for our cookout at my house before I got home!!! We had a good night with steaks and friends. It had been way too long since we had seen everyone. A little TV and a little Guitar Hero makes for a fun time.
Today was Neil's best man's wedding shower. I have been so upset with them about this wedding for ages. I am glad that they are happy, but I wish they could have known each other a little longer before the wedding. Anyway, now I'm just starting to feel bad for them. They didn't have a lot of people there, and some of the ones who were there looked like they would rather be anywhere else. I think the madness may have finally subsided some. I just wish there was something I could do to make it disappear totally. I feel bad about putting Neil in such a difficult position. This guy is his best man, and I am his fiance. Its really not good to have those two people at odds with each other. Anyway, much work to do.

| I cannot believe that I am awake and ready to go to school 15 minutes before my alarm goes off. What is wrong with me??? I am having trouble sleeping again anyway, but this is silly. I guess this is what happens when you have all of this nervouse eneergy to burn off. Neil and I are going to look at houses tonight! I am so excited, but so nervous! Some of the house are a little above our price range and I hope I don't fall in love with one of those, but there's a strong likelihood of that. Life is moving right along with everything going on. Soon I'll be a married woman and possibly a home owner. When did I decide to grow up? 
We are moving right along with our wedding plans, too! Most of the invitations are out, and we are already getting a ton of responses. Its so exciting to hear Mom tell me how many arrived each day! I can't wait to sit down and plug them into the excel sheet next weekend. I am such a nerd. We've had a couple of showers so far. Its been unreal how generous people are. Neil's family absolutely went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Well, its time to be up and about. How am I gonna make it through a day of school when I am this excited about some thing else????

| Today is exactly two months until Neil and I get married. In honor of this wonderful occasion, I have place 155 wonderful invitations to our wedding in the post office's capable hands. Okay, that was beyond goofy. Its true, but silly. Even the thought of packing for the honeymoon seems daunting right now. How is that possible? 10 days in Hawaii calls for a daunting task???? That is when you are truly stressed out.
I did get a ton of things done today. That was good. I feel better tonight, but it seems to weird to be all stressed about something that is two months away. I can't wait to be married to Neil, and be passed this part of it.
