As we start ramping up to the wedding it gets clearer. We now have a short list of Things That Must Be Done, and those things are not terribly complicated. Mostly they are just 'carry this over there', 'pay this amount of money', 'go get a haircut' sort of things. Nothing too serious.

We repacked Jen's boxes yesterday, she had quite a few things packed that either I already had, or that we'd never use (ie. "Banish Your Butt, Belly and Thighs" book). Today we are taking 9 boxes to UPS for shipping, each weighing between 30 and 80 pounds. It might be a slightly more expensive way to move, but it's quick, convenient, and done in one swell foop.

Tonight is our night to take her parents to dinner as a thank you for all they have done. They've been so excellent and helpful...her mother has done tons of work for the wedding. She's made the cakes, went down on her knees scrubbing the wedding location, setting everything up, etc. Jerry, her stepfather, has been a little under the weather, but he's been keeping up with everything and making jokes to keep everyone happy and on track.

We took Jerry and Debbie (Jen's mom) out to dinner to Judy's Stagecoach...was quite good. Jen and I had catfish. It definitely filled me up!

This afternoon we headed out to Sylacauga to ship Jen's stuff via UPS. Stupid office was only open from 5pm to 6pm Mon-Fri. We showed up at about 2pm. We piddled around, didn't do a whole lot of anything, bought some picture frames and wedding-night-boxing-shorts and stuff.

It's very nice when weddings aren't so intensely complicated that you can sit back and enjoy the process. I can't wait. :)
