So, tonight we have to go to one of those meetings where they assess your 'readiness for marriage.' I'm somewhat torn on this issue. Fiance has a bit of a history, but I've never been this close to actually telling someone officially that I want to spend the rest of my life with them and them alone, so the enormity of that decision makes me a little nervous. What if they say we aren't prepared? Argh! And I'm definitely hormonal, which always makes me a little melancholy. All in all I am starting to understand why people elope.
We did find a very nice photographer, though, and she has really reasonable package deals. Nothing's set yet, but she's at the top of the list so far. We haven't even started looking for a DJ, and the caterer situation is only just starting to come into focus. The seamstress, who has been great thus far, is being very patient with my current turtle-like speed of communication, but that has to start happening again, too. So much to keep track of!
I wonder what this would be like if I weren't in grad school and working 4 full days a week....
Mini Phal in Bloom
Though we lost the leaves to crown rot on this orchid, the roots were healthy enough that it is sprouting anew. Will keep updates coming! I didn't know it was possible for a phal to keiki from only roots!
My Office Orchid: Oncda. Flaming Pole 'Kalapana'
This is a picture I found on the net, but it's the same as mine. Pretty, no? It also smells quite nice when in flower.
