Since I may not be on much these next few days ...

It's time to write my goodbye!!!!

I really can't believe it's MY time. It feels like I've been waiting forever for this day to come, and all week, all last week, even when I imagine myself IN THE MOMENT, in my dress, walking down the aisle, greeting guests -- I feel like that moment will be months from now, not days.

Thanks to all the lovely ladies on this site (and to Ron and Liz for having it!!!), I know my wedding will be beautiful. I've learned a lot - about the things I wanted to do on my wedding day, things I didn't want to do, and about the kind of bride I wanted to be.

I've made excellent friends here - a few I have met and a lot I haven't! I hope to have the chance to meet all those I clicked with in a special way -maybe at the 08 newlywed GTG I said I was going to plan for January!

This past week has been a little crazier than I expected due to my grandmother's death - I never expected to be attending a wake tonight, let alone a funeral tomorrow But I know it was the best thing for her. She had diabetes, heart problems and dementia and her time had come.

Thanks to allll of you who offered your prayers and thoughts for me and my family. The gesture will not be forgotten any time soon. I haven't had much of a chance to talk to my real-life friends about this even, but you girls are always here and always listening.

On that note ........

I AM GETTING MARRIED THIS WEEKEND!!!!!
