But not only have I been planning a wedding, I've been doing far too many other things, like helping launch a company, living far away from Frenchy, dealing with green cards and shoulder surgery (for him) and wedding dresses and apartment setup (for me). It hasn't been easy, but I still find myself frustrated that I couldn't set aside just a few minutes each day to write down what has happened.
Maybe that's because each day is too full of stuff to write. Well I do plan to go back and jot it all down. It would be a disservice to myself not to, since most of it is so ridiculous and hilarious, I know I'll laugh about it later. For now, anyway, a few of the things that have happened in the past 3 months since I relocated to New York, in no particular order:
- 21 flights, 1 cancelled, 1 missed connection, 1 near missed connection, 5 more to go
- 34 trips to the airport
- 3 dress fittings
- 4 flights carrying a wedding dress and suit (best way to travel)
- 1 cake tasting
- 1 wedding (not ours)
- 4 countries
- 4 US states
- 1 bed delivered
- 0 sofas delivered
- 1 sofa needed
- 3+ months away from Frenchy
- 4 trips to Paris
- 1 mom's birthday
- 2 lobster burritos
- 2 trips to florist
- 1 bionic shoulder (for Frenchy)
- 2 haircuts
- 400 invitations sent
- 1 castle visited
- 1 refrigerator not stocked
- 1 cavity filled (boo)
- 36 rice cakes eaten
- 23 boxes opened
- 14 boxes still to open
- 1 move from Paris to New York
- 1 flight delayed due to vomit (not mine)
- 1 airport commotion due to large woman fainting
- 1 elevator out of service from 10pm to 7am (not good when you get home at 10:05 and live on the 8th floor)
- 746 flights climbed
- 1 wedding planned... almost
