Well it is nineteen days
Well it is nineteen days until the wedding. We are doing well on wedding plans. K is down in Houston with her family. I will fly down on Thursday to spend Christmas with the family there. We have a list of things that need to be finished this week and while we are in Houston. I feel good about where we are with stuff.
I have these thoughts:
- We have a growing list of people we need to thank; I need to work to make sure I can thank them all.
- Things are going to go wrong; I know that, the one thing that matters is that K and I are married.
- If I had one thing I could change, I would have everyone I have ever known at the wedding. Any list of people in your life that you love is incomplete.
- I have always wanted strong family ties. It is one of my failing that I have not been willing to pay the cost of having them.
- For those of you, who will be there, I wish to say ‘thank you.’ Weddings are about people standing up and say we approve of these two being married.
- Getting married is $75 and a couple of signatures. It is all of you that make it a Wedding.
- There are people in our lives that do not have this right. They are our friends and loved ones. They want loving life long partnerships. It is the same goal I have. Do you want to be called a ‘Domestic Partner?’
P.S. I am sorry for the lack of updates. Jeff’s death hit me hard here. Every time I went back to post, I lost the heart for it.

From your friend who just recently took the leap, it doesn't have to be a bad thing if something isn't as planned. Allen and I prayed for no rain but when the mist started to fall on us, it only made the moment more special and so I am thrilled with how it turned out. However, I am now finding out of just how many of our friends jumped in and fixed things that I had no idea had gone wrong! The happiest day of your life is even richer when shared with the ones you love! Having you there to stand up with us made us even more blessed. Can't wait to be there when you and your Beauty become man and wife!

Dan, just got a call at the house from Mrs Swain ( Mark? Mike? mom ) wanting to wish you a happy New Year. She obviously hasn't spoken with you in a while if my number is the most recent she has for you! I didn't speak with her personally - it was a message left on the answering machine. Hey Dan, congratulations on the wedding. I just spoke with Josef and got the news. later, Chris
