This is the part where my head explodes.

So we are planning the wedding among various other things, but more importantly we are getting a checklist together of everything we need to have and do for the spousal visa for Australia and can I just say, WHOA. My head is spinning and the sheer amount of things needed to be done is really overwhelming. This is where my obsessive list making comes in. This is also where Rick's obsessive nature for doing things thoroughly and early comes in very handy. We balance. I make lists, he makes sure it's all carried out.

We were really good about setting a date and finding the place and venue for the wedding and reception within a week of discussing it. Our original plans were to do something small both in America and Australia, but his family was more than willing to make the trip to the U.S. to see us married here so we just decided to do it.(I told him he's like the pink elephant because at the age of 37 they probably classified him as a confirmed bachelor. haha!)I am really surprised most of them are coming, and I'm super excited to see our families interact. For those not able to attend, we will just have a small dinner in OZ when I finally get to call it home.

It was a stressful week as we nailed down details and a TO DO list, but finally I feel organized. I just have to realize to take on one thing at a time and remember that at the end of all of this chaos is that I will get to be with the man I love, and honestly, life is good.
