The Joys of January

First Thing:
I bought my tickets for Aruba today! For some reason I got really nervous before I actually clicked submit but once I did, it was really exciting. That means we're actually going to spend a week relaxing and enjoying the sun at the end of June. I also got a pretty good deal on the tickets. After checking up on ticket prices daily, I decided I was going to check prices on every airline's website, every travel website, search coupon codes, etc. Finally I found the best deal and despite having to spend roughly 5 hours at the USO in the St. Louis airport, I think it'll be an enjoyable travel experience. Did I mention I'm excited?

Second Thing:
I booked a caterer today. Steak is on the menu. Although I'm dying to have barbecue, because let me tell you Eddelmons barbecue is delicious, I'm having steak. Why? Because a certain Nate Norton loves steak and I figure it's the least I can do. Besides, it's actually quite delicious, so I'm not complaining. That means I have yet another thing crossed off my list. And it feels great. However, there is one thing I'm still nervous about. I'm almost afraid to call about it because what if i don't like the answer I'm given and what if my fear comes true? I'm almost positive I'd rather just wait until my wedding to find out because that day I'm pretty sure it'll be the last thing on my mind. I'm kind of at a loss for what to do and what to find out. Maybe I'll just wait it our or maybe I'll call and risk being upset for the next 6 months about it. Needless to say, I wanted the stockyards. That's all.

Third Thing:
I know, I know. I only have two things but if I can count to two, I can certainly count to three. Our truck does not exist anymore. It's funny to think that because my mom and sister are okay, the thing that concerns us most is that we don't have the truck anymore. If they weren't okay, we'd be more concerned with them than the truck. It kind of seems like a dream (probably because this isn't where I live most of the time) and that the truck really is in our driveway.

Goodbye Truck

Fourth Thing:
Game over. Roll Tide.

Fifth Thing:
I know, I know. This is getting ridiculous and long. I just want to comment on how I often want what I can't have. I can't be content with what I get because I just want more, or the opposite.
I just want to talk to Nate. For real. But I am loving this email tag game we've created. The question is, which one do I love more? The emails. Definitely the emails.

Lots and lots of things tonight, but today's been one of those days.
