I have decided that I want to elope.

I know that these are familiar feelings and I feel a bit guilty because my family tries so hard to ‘be good’.

However, I just wish that there was a little respect for my timetable. This it has to be done this second mentality is going to kill me if it doesn’t end. As my roommate put it, I was the angriest he had ever seen me in two years of being my friend.

On a lighter note, it’s oddly comforting that there is, in fact, something that can upset me more than church bruhaha. I decided that Laryssa was more important than church drama, and I’m glad to know that our wedding is more important.

Other than that, things are going very well – Laryssa’s dad has been wonderful in helping my dad find a place to stay and find a place for the reheresal dinner. Mom has offered to pay for the flowers. The location is set, the groomsman and bridesmaids are set, the men’s clothes are set; everything is going along pretty well.

Next weekend (Labor Day) we are going to the Minnesota Ren Fair, and that will be most fun. We need to get a couple of things for the wedding, but also get away and have a good time. I really look forward to it.

Gotta go for now, work calls.
