We're headed to NY for Nicole's brother's wedding - some tandem garbage truck flipped over so traffic has slowed to a crawl. I really just wanted an excuse to use the G1. Typing is odd with the thumbs, I'm used to doing it all with one thumb so getting thumbkin-2 in on the m.ix is a tad faster ;)

We got a late start due to some issues with Merek's vaccinations. We missed one by 2 days so they were all like no no!! And we were all like "we were just there!" But we got it straightened out, got an emergency shot squeezed in from the vet next door and got on our way, albeit an hour late.

Now add to that this traffic and we may just barely get to the rehersal on time, sorry Chris!

I heard this song a while back, I thought it was perfect but kept thinking we wouldn't be able to dance to it. It actually keeps a fairly slow beat, though it's a bit harder then normal mushy wedding songs.

I don't want this to be a normal mushy wedding though, cause I don't feel that way, I'm much more real in my feelings for Nicole.

I appreciate that she came along and I've changed my life quite a bit for the better because of her influence and support. I've grown a great deal since we met, she was able to help me see how I could be a better person.

Life is much more enjoyable now, I'm pleased with my progress towards my goals and it just wouldnt' feel the same if I didn't have someone to share that with.

Staind - "So Far Away"

this is my life
its not what it was before
all these feelings i've shared
and these are my dreams
that i'd never lived before
somebody shake me
'cause i
i must be sleeping

[chorus]
now that we're here,
it's so far away
all the struggle we thought was in vain
all the mistakes,
one life contained
they all finally start to go away
now that we're here its so far away
and i feel like i can face the day i can forgive
and i'm not ashamed to be the person that i am today

these are my words
that i've never said before
i think i'm doing okay
and this is the smile
that i've never shown before

somebody shake me 'cause i
i must be sleeping

[chorus]

i'm so afraid of waking
please don't shake me
afraid of waking
please don't shake me

[chorus]

So the opposite of not much happening has been happening - I'm wishing now I kept up on the posting. I'm going to have a hole in the whole "just got my first house" period. Most of the reason I keep a blog is for my own recollection. It's not very good on it's own, so throw a couple pictures and paragraphs together and I have a much better recollection.

Just this weekend:
- friday ~ I had off to get a tooth pulled. I actually had the gas/IV and it was awesome. It was considered "a luxery" by my insurance, and even at $225 for this "luxery" I don't think I'd recommend going without. I floated out of the office, but by the time we got back home, the novicain had worn off and it really began to hurt. I'm still a bit swolen a couple of days later but the 5mg of oxy are keeping me fine in the interim.
Later on we went furniture shopping, I was nice and fuzzy and feeling a bit stir crazy so figured why not... we went to a few local places to check out couches, chairs, and china cabinets. We've got our table and bar already picked out so we're looking for items to match. I think we found a china cabinet, but not buying just yet. We finally went to go look at matresses. We've got a bedroom picked out at Ikea, but still need a mattress. I heard about a sale at Sleepys so we looked there.
We were the only ones in the place so we got a lot of attention. They have a special bed you lay on and it gets your exact spine shape and determines the best mattress for you (and your sleep partner in our case). We found a good one, and as it turns out the sales girl was from Quaboag - so got employee pricing w/ free delivery and such to boot!

- saturday ~ Nicole's mom came out to visit for the shower on Sunday, I spent a bit of time hanging out and then headed out to Jay's to hang out for his b-day and Cinco de Mayo. It was fun, but interesting since I wasn't drinking. I had picked up Jay some XBox360 games as there was a sale on used games at EBGames. We had rented Rockstar table tennis a while back and it was awesome, when I saw it for $17 used I knew it was time. So we played that for most of the night. I also got him Prey and Tomb Raider. TR was just like the old ones - probably the best one yet. It played well and looked fabulous. I didn't get a chance to play Prey. It was ok when I played the demo for PC, and though I don't feel it would be worth full price, it was well worth it at <$20.
Mattress got delivered and dang... never knew what we were missing with a bunch of springs.

- sunday ~ Nicole's bridal shower, so now we've got lots of new stuff, appliances and such. No Wii yet, but we've got 4 controllers, at least 2 nunchucks, and Wii Play, so we'll at least have a lot of fun mini games to play with at least 4 people when we do get the Wii. The house is really coming together, and it was a great feeling to take all our old dingy towels, pans, and box everything up. Amazing what a bunch of new stuff will do ;)

We've finally got the invitations out, so you should be getting them shortly. Also we got a WAV of my nieces and nephews doing some practice for our wedding.
Take a listen!
