Monumentous Day.
Today, I packed up most of my earthly belongings. They now sit in boxes against the basement wall, taking up about half of the room. I never knew I could have accumulated so much over these 22 years of my life. Now, to combine my things with Austin's, we'll have a ball of a time trying to sort through it all. I will post pictures soon of this great event.

This Weekend
Today... in just a few moments, I get to see my beloved. I must make some gag with my sappyness, but it's been a month or so since we've seen each other, and I am SO excited! Austin and his parents drove through the night to get here with enough time so Austin and I could go to the courthouse to get our marriage license before it closes! Wow, only 2 weeks to go, and I am Mrs. Rampey.
Well, I have a huge list of things to do while he's here, like give him a haircut, pick out gifts, look for a mattress... fun, fun, fun. Hopefully, I won't wear him out too badly.
Now I just wait for he and his family to pull into the driveway!

So far... 97.
We are gathering response cards, and as they come in, entering them into a handy Excel sheet so we can count how many are coming. So far... 97. I sure hope that we get the 90 response cards that are still out there! Hint, Hint :)
Austin and I cannot believe that we have only 3 1/2 weeks until we will be married! Until we're in Hawaii! The best is yet to come, my friends.
