Closer

The wedding is exactly 68 days away. 2 months and 8 days until I say, "I do". It's absolutely crazy. And crazy busy too. I've felt over-stressed; it's almost like I'm in a constant PMS state of mind, but for no reason. Poor Joey. :( The stress is definitely building. I'm constantly pressing Joe to start working on renovations. I'm still gathering details for the wedding itself. In the midst of all of that, I've forgotten that I'm starting another semester in a little over a month. Thankfully, I'm only taking 12 credits this semester, but as my future mother-in-law told me yesterday, that's still full time, and nothing to blink at when I'm in the midst of wedding prepping!

I'm also writing a lot more songs lately - songs that I can totally see getting on the demo Joe and I are doing this fall. It's like, my lyrics don't seem so KITSy/cheesy anymore. And they aren't just all about how I feel either. I feel like the Lord is really granting me the grace to write for Him in a way that's completely sincere and honest. I'm just not sure if I want the world to hear them because my heart and fears are totally in the songs. But I'm so excited to be collaborating with Joe! He's such an amazing drummer. And just in case you're curious as to what his drumming is/was like in his college days, here's a link to his ex-band's website (who he drummed for) - http://www.myspace.com/almostminorities! Almost Minorities also has a few songs on iTunes. Hopefully someday soon we'll be on iTunes too! :D

Later,
