Hi, friends! So... I have news.

Hi, friends!  So... I have news.  I'm marrying Shaun on Wednesday, March 14th.  We know it's weird to do things like this in the middle of the week, but we don't care.  We do what we do.  LOL

I am not a very formal person and also not a big fan of tradition and ceremony, but we will be having a small, quick thing in Talladega at 5:30.  I have only really told the people who are super close to me about it, so if you haven't gotten a personal "Hey, do you want to watch me get married?" from me, then please don't feel offended.  Just shoot me a message and let me know if you'd like the address.

Since I have never done this before and since we live separately with two households worth of stuff, it never crossed my mind to have a registry where people could buy us things.  It's come up a few times, though, so we made a registry at Target (link below).  Admittedly, money is tight with Shaun supporting both households on one income while I finish school, so there are things we could use but that are not urgent enough for us to run out and buy.  I've marked the most important stuff, which you will notice is mainly things for the kids.

Which, speaking of the kids I want to make it clear that this day is not only about me and Shaun.  Yes, we have waited for this for a very long time, but there has always been more than the two of us involved here.  We are planning to do a commitment ceremony to Shadow and Kira, as well, which is why they are included on our registry.  Blood relation or not, we're a family and we want them both to feel that deep in their bones, especially as they are both entering the scary stage of young adulthood.

Anyway, I'm pretty excited to finally get to marry the love of my life.  He is my very best friend and I couldn't imagine my life without him.
