Singleton Farewells


This is my last day as a Misses. These are my last few hours as a singleton. Tomorrow I will be a Mrs. and life as I know it will change. I found out just a couple weeks ago that Veteran's day parade will be marching downtown the same time we are saying our vows and taking our first kiss. As Christina optimistically pointed out - there's a chance we'll hear the marching bands pass by. Personally, I'm hoping for bagpipes if something is going to be distracting. I'd like to take my chances and run out into the parade as it marches down Tejon, after the ceremony... have a real wedding march. My dad suggested we follow some old tradition and have Matt push me around in a wheel barrow... not sure about that one.
I'm feeling pretty calm right now - maybe I'll be a gusher on the day. Time will tell. I can't wait to be his wife - so no matter what happens tomorrow, as long as we're hitched, I'll be happy.

Wish us well. I'll be excited to share stories from the other side!

Lasts...

Today I attended my last service as a single at the church I have attended for 14 years! Matt and I will be going to his church in Denver...which is an entirely different kind of scene. I marked my little attendance card as "Miss" and checked the box for "single" (I then forgot to put it in the offering so the whole dramatic affect was really just for me).
Here is the final load up to Denver. I thought I'd just have a couple things to throw in the jeep for the ride up....

I had a really difficult time trying to figure out what to keep down here for this last week!

I said good-bye to my co-workers on Thursday. I was oddly emotional when the Chief asked for a hug and after I tripped and almost took a co-worker out at happy hour.

I meet my new co-workers on Monday...and Tuesday...before the time off for wedding. I have no idea what kind of work I'll be doing with this transfer to the Denver office. I am very fortunate to have slipped in right before the hiring freeze.

We'll see if I chicken out and drive in to work and pay ridiculously expensive parking prices for the first day, or if I brave it and ride the light rail in.


Big city livin' here I come!
