ONE MONTH. ONE MONTH. ONE MONTH!

Well, we're almost here. And I should probably put a warning label on: I'm sorry for anyone who has to talk to me, socialize with me, or work with me for the next 28 days. Josh and my mom have already gotten the short stick on a few things, and I do feel like I'm starting to feel the pressure. I won't lie though - I am SO happy and blessed that so many people have stepped up and helped throughout this whole thing and the only thing left is simple/easy things to take care. However, between the wedding, getting assignments done for my Master's before we leave, teaching, learning a new grade book (mid-terms are next week!), grading papers, Standards Based Grading, Homecoming next week, I've just been a little on edge. It just all seems to be crashing down at this point in time and I'm starting to get on edge. I have a good list of things on the "to-do" list, but they're easy things that we can tackle. Then it'll be time to just sit back, relax, and enjoy a life as Mr. & Mrs. :)

As I stated above, those are all the things I've been busy with. Next weekend I'm heading to Omaha to have a bridal shower, so it seems like that will take a weekend away from doing some wedding things. I know that the next month will FLY by, so I'm trying to savor it. Weird to think that in a month I won't be "Rachel KAUER" any more, but "Rachel Meckley". It kind of changes your identity a bit. I've been staring at my signature on my checks a little bit longer and longingly looking at "R.L.K." I'll always be Rachel Kauer, but it is a weird thing to think about.

I really don't have much other to report on, other than the upcoming wedding. The weather cooled off today, after an entire week of early outs due to heat, and then an extra one last week. Right now the Accuweather report says 71 and sunny on the day of the wedding! Can't wait! xoxo
