Wedding planning has been interesting. I'm having a hard time keeping track of everything, so I think I'll be setting up a wedding blog to keep track of my thoughts, purchases, etc. Hopefully it will help and encourage me to post more often on here.
Not much else is really going on...Alex started injections and is looking absolutely amazing, Aaron (my minister) and his girlfriend Britney ran off to Vegas and got married...My sister is due in four weeks and Nadiya is very healthy. Kevin left for South Korea a few weeks ago and it seriously breaks all of our hearts. Fucking Army splitting up families and shit. Assholes.
Scott's classes got screwed up, but that might not be too bad. Hopefully it will mean he and I can take our trip to Abilene and possibly DC. I really want to meet his father before the wedding (he passed away while Scott was still a teenager from a blood clot in his brain, and he's buried at Arlington cemetery). In Abilene, I mostly want to see the acoustic jams and Mezamiz, for old time's sake. Maybe the spot at Elm Creek I used to hang around when I was feeling lonely. That'd be fitting.
I don't know how I feel about trying to go to my old church. It would certainly help my de-conversion process, but I don't think I'd want to run into anyone. I don't think I mentioned de-conversion yet. I'm reading a lot of ex-christian and ex-ex-gay stuff, and I've been realizing just how much stuff, mostly negative and neutral, the christian faith left in my subconscious. It's helping me feel a lot more confident about my disbelief.
For example, it's nice just to see all of the responses to my leaving the faith all listed on one web page. http://de-conversion.com/2008/03/27/convenient-categories/ followed by the real reasons a lot of people leave. http://de-conversion.com/2008/04/07/inconvenient-categories-the-really-real-reasons-de-cons-left-the-faith/#comment-33996 It just really puts everything in perspective.
So off I go to make my wedding blog. Oh yeah :) I got to ride my scooter!!! :) Now I just need to get it street legal and I'll be riding it everywhere!
