With six months to the day left, I have a few things to be thankful for, I got a new phone yesterday - finally the “Dukes of Hazzard” theme song that was my last ringtone can die. Sure, it’s a catchy tune, but do you really want people to hear “Just the good ol’ boys, never meaning no harm…” on the bus? Yeah, me neither.

Also, my MOH is starting to come through. Her idea of a dress perfectly coincides with my ideas for her dress, and she’s shopping while I type! She’s also helping with the favors, we’re going to go the uber common route of truffles - but we’re using See’s Candy rather than Godiva or Leonidas. Unfortunately (for him), Mr. Kiwi’s favorite is raspberry, which the MOH (also his sister) already had at her wedding. Good thing (for me), because I want chocolate chip truffles! Generously, MOH has offered to pay for them herself. It’s so good to have people who care for you and know when you just don’t have the money for something like that. Had she not offered, we’d be getting jordan almonds - which I love. Either way we’d be happy.

The third great thing - I booked my tasting with the Torrance Bakery yesterday. They’re booked for Saturdays until June 2nd, which gives me plenty of time to think about what I want. Getting the information about Torrance Bakery had me speaking to our new wedding coordinator. We’re going to meet soon, and hash out a few more details- like no more gold tablecloths.

Fourth great thing, we have our flower girl dress. It’s adorable! I just need to find a gold sash, and she’ll be stylin’. The dress was completely searched for and bought by my Aunt Sharon - grandmother of the flowergirl - and it’s perfect. A gold and ivory tea length sleeveless dress, with a frickin’ cute sash. Can’t wait.

Even though some details are now a little hazy (some things transpired that I can’t talk about - sorry), with a possibility of them not working out, I have things to be glad for.

Do you ever just stop and think about the things you have gotten done, and feel proud?
