Whirlwind

This week has been busy.  I have been to Provo, then to West Valley, over to Bountiful, into Salt Lake, back to Provo, north again to Bountiful, around to West Valley, then finally back in Provo this evening.  I can only give a humble "thank you" to those who have been so accommodating with my crazy, random, unscheduled schedule.  I have such a wonderful family!!

Britta and I made a ton of progress on her wedding, including finding the dress.  We've also had success in purchasing dresses and shoes for her bridesmaids, negotiating rooms with the venue, and working through some of the details.  Britt thinks we still have PLENTY of time, since the wedding is still so far away (cough, cough), but I'm a little more {uptight}, since I will have limited time in Utah from here on out.  Not to mention celebrating Thanksgiving (2-1/2 weeks away!), Christmas (7 weeks away!), and Taylor's wedding (7-1/2 weeks away!) in between.

Taylor and Lynnea were able to meet up in Utah this weekend for engagement photos, so it was a fun and unique experience to have three engaged couples (Tay/Lynnea, Austin/Britt, and Josh/Kayla) hanging out at my mom's house.  We attended church with my parents in the Joseph Smith Memorial Bldg, where the chapel is the precisely same room that my Senior Ball was held in, 25+ years ago.  So not only a successful trip, a fun and memorable trip.

After taking Tay to the airport today, Britt and I will meet up for her dress fitting, and will {hopefully} figure out flowers and centerpieces.  Then I will hit the Provo airport tomorrow morning to fly back to my fam (miss you guys), and whirlwind myself around in the frenzy of holiday/wedding preparations.

I can't decide if the constant flow of impending big events will be a help (keeping my adrenaline at a consistently high level), or a hindrance (stress-inducing enough to cause a nuclear-level meltdown).  Hmmmm...  let's hope it's a help.
