photographer, take 2

hello from the wee-sma's.  sleep has become my illusive friend once again, c'est la vie.  if you can't sleep, blog.

today is day 26. 
day 27 was a doozie.
my mom met with a florist (rosauers!) and we ordered flowers, i gave the caterer our final head count, we ordered wine from the venue, we solidified the bartender and i went back and forth with about 12 photographers within 24 hours.  wait...what?

the photographer that we'd had lined up for months informed us on saturday that she would not be able to shoot our wedding.  so the majority of this weekend my fingers were flying, contacting potential replacements.  we found a ton of skill avaliable (*note* if you plan on selecting your photographer within a month, get married on a sunday) but very zero with the same skill in our price range.  some actually wanted triple what we'd agreed to spend.  however, i believe we've found the one for us.  check out eugene michel on applebrides.com - gorgeous stuff.  he's sending the contract over today, upon which i will immediately pounce.  so the hope for day 26 - find a photographer!

i was struck today by how close it's getting.  wow.  it's been so easy and always seemed so far off, but now it's practically here.  we're nearing the threshold of our new life together, and it feels like for the first time, i'm close enough to see the wood grain on the door frame, the smooth stones on the steps, and the light streaming out from within. 

i can't wait to spend my life with paul.  and i can't wait to celebrate its commencement with you :)
