i spent over an hour mowing the lawn the other night. there is a LOT of grass out here to green up and get under control for wedding photos.

and did i mention that we have to figure out how to rid our wee farm of a smelly skunk in the next 64 days?

in the meantime, Brandon has adapted to our little routine nicely. he comes to the gym with my mom and i at 8am and enjoys the Y, except boys are apparently much messier than girls. we pack a lunch most mornings and hit the library right after the gym. by the time we get home in the evening, we’re both pretty exhausted for things like dinner and lawn mowing and family and Maddy and question banks and managerial accounting (thankfully, not for me) and laundry and bed.

but the sun is shining and spring seems to be finally admitting summer might be just around the corner. Brandon is here until early July and we’re both super nervous about our back-to-back exams. he writes on July 7th and my months and months of Step 1 prep finally end when i walk in the testing centre door at 930am on July 8th.

scary stuff.

oh yah, and we’re getting married. i think that’s “supposed” to be sorta scary, but it really isn’t. i feel nothing but peace and excitement and joy! joy! joy! (that one’s for you, Kristy) and a profound sense of destiny (that one’s for you, Dawn) when i think about joining my hopes, goals and wildest dreams with this wonderful man.

i know there are a few lucky ladies out there who know what i’m talking about. yes, i’m looking at you Darlene and Jenn and Christina and Brig and Pam! can’t wait to have you guys here!
