16 days before the wedding...

who started this whole counting-down thingie?? why is my head counting through months and weeks and days since i got engaged?
it reminds me a lot of my childhood, when i listened to christmas-charols in summer, because i was looking forward to the presents so much...
i guess i do this because it helps me to prepare for this new phase, to get used to the thought of changing my status, my name, my living situation, to get a grip on the fact that i will be a married person in 2 weeks time. a wife!
i bet my parents generation didn't make such a big fuzz about the whole wedding-topic as i do! they got married. period.

i really like this phase of the preparation process though: my to-do-list is much shorter now, and the things that are still to do are more practical...i get really excited and i'm happy about the outcome of the preparations, looking forward to a great party and to seeing all the dear friends and family that will come to our big day!
and i'm so happy to marry Flo! he's been such a stable rock in my emotional chaos over the last few months! i'm looking forward to our next 50 years together...it will only get better i hear! ;-)
