Ok. I''m 3 days from leaving, 6 days from getting married, have tons of stuff to do, and no motivation to do any of it. How are you guys doing? LTS?

Gah! Haha, trying to stay calm in the midst of having lots of actual work to do at work, yet having lots of things still on my to-do list for the wedding. It''s all mostly small things now, but those are usually what turn into the most time-consuming and drawn out things. We''re leaving on Wednesday evening to head up there, so I have tonight and tomorrow night to do all the errand-running, packing, remainder of the printing, etc. I can''t BELIEVE this week is here already. Feels like it''s been coming at me full force with NO slowing down, and I''m sure Friday will fly by. My goal is to make sure I sit back and ENJOY it all.
