As J and I start planning things, and others chime in with opinions I've been wondering something. Is having no pre-conceived notions of what I want a good thing or a bad thing? I mean, I've imagined aspects of my life, but my wedding was never one of them. I always imagined living in an apartment wih a roomie like in "friends." I imagined a good paying job so I could afford to travel. I still sometimes picture my dream car, but my wedding? Nah. I think one time back forever ago I was talking to someone and said something about what I'd like for my wedding and they asked "what if the groom doesn't want that?" Suddenly I realized that if I was getting married, I'd have to take a whole other person's ideas and assimilate them into my own. Or I could just not worry about anything wedding related until I had a fiancé. Guess which one I decided would be better? So when J brings up ideas, I agree if I like them. If I don't then he gets a "weeeeeell" or "how about, instead of that..." My man likes to do things cuz he finds them funny, which is great, but does mean I veto some of his more outlandish (and perhaps not TOTALLY wanted) ideas. Honestly, it's been fun. Between the 2 of us, we will have a wedding and reception that reflects who we are, what we like, and celebrates the start of our lives together. 😁 it's gonna be great. I friggin love that man.
A lot goes into a Catholic wedding, and I am sooooo grateful that he is willing to go thru the process with me. From what I remember when J and D were going thru it, there's some interesting stuff. Poor man is going to have to go thru all the NFP classes... human bodies are gross!! Lol. I think I'll feel better about the date once we meet with the priest and get their timeline, since all preparations will start with that. Gotta get some paperwork first tho... patience, I must have some patience!!!
We ended up hanging out at his place after we had lunch with his mom and went to At Home for clearanced Halloween stuff. So I tried to get really good pix of Ace.
He does NOT like bubbles. Poor thing was slightly traumatized.
I think he forgave me, tho.
I'm very grateful that J didn't mind going shopping with me looking for Halloween stuff... we actually ended up with a LOT more than I anticipated.
New glasses in their boxes, old ones from last year on display. 😁
Couldn't resist the mug, the ghostie is actually from Kroger. Hand towels, new soap dispenser to match the one I got last year, a wine tumbler for J and my own kitty cat! The new additions look great with the old ones. 😁
I cooked on Saturday before we went to the place we are planning in having our reception at. It was sooooooo good.
Hot italian sausage stuffed spaghetti squash with bread. 😋
We still need to figure out a photographer, meet with the priest (once the paperwork arrives), start our prep, and figure out save the dates and invitations. 😁 We also need to figure out what J is going to wear. Hehehe. We did go check out the venue we are thinking of for the reception. I think it's gonna be fun! So we'll have to meet with the lady who runs all of that, too. So little time, so much to do!
Sunday I got up and was super productive! I chopped, sautéed, and simmered my way to delicious chili 😋 This evening my older sis is coming into town, so J and I are planning to meet up with her for dinner. Should be a good time 😁
into chili!!! Thank goodness I remembered that I got a deeper chili pot. This would not fit in my usual sauce pot. Lol. Sooooo much yum. The yellow is butternut squash, btw.
Now I get to be lazy until I go to pet smart to pick up some stuff for my sister's pupper, then go to meet up with her. Leftovers for lunch all week, and bfast sammiches for dinner 😁
