Looking Ahead, Not Back....

Tonight I’m printing programs. Sometime this week I need to solve the mystery of printing vertical business cards to fill the place card holders. Together and via email we’re making a Santa-like RSVP list.

Sound like the tasks of the last 11 days before the wedding?! Who knew there was so much work!

(No joke, as I type, my iTunes on shuffle mode queues up “Eye of the Tiger.” What’s a guy to do?!)

All of this to say that Robin and I are focusing on the wonderful day in our near future. We both look forward to seeing friends and family, bringing everyone together, and most of all, publicly declaring our love for each other.

Keep an eye out here, because this will be your spot for photos. Robin & I will have our camera through the weekend, there will be disposables on every table, & a photographer too! Guess I need to clear some time in my schedule for sitting here posting things…

(iTunes has a real sense of humor tonight, now playing, Dr. Hook, “I’ve got a couple more years on you baby.” Sorry babe, but I’m thinking my old Gateway was sending that one out to you!)

More than likely, this is the last pre-wedding post. The next one will either be a celebration or a statement that she came to her senses. Keep your fingers crossed for me that she doesn’t.

(Final song for the posting time, Brooks & Dunn “More than a Margarita.” Not sure of the significance, but I had to keep the play by play going, I mean seriously, I couldn’t have made up the last two – or timed them better – if I tried.)

Again, no resolution

The stall tatics of the bad guys are well in play. Thank you to the many well wishes received today before, during, and after. I got the personal pleasure of two solid hours on the stand. We only had 2:30 of court time booked. We now have additional half days December 6th and 11th.

To those who Robin or I owed a call Wednesday night, our apologies, it wasn’t a night for long conversations or constant re-discussing it. More news to come obviously.

On a serious note....

Hello all -

Many of you know that Robin & I are apart due to more than just work and relocation issues. Firstly, I want to thank everyone for all of the positive thoughts, prayers, and kind words. I have definitely felt the positive energy that all of the above have created for us.

I’m confident that our actions have been just and honest at every step of the way over the last five months and we will be rewarded accordingly.

I do request a favor. Our court date is one week from today, Wednesday, October 10th. Your continued and amplified thoughts, prayers, and well wishes can only strengthen our cause.

The blessing that goes with all of this is that I’ll get five days with my family in the next week, and I do plan to make the most of this time.

I want to also let everyone know that I will post the verdict once it’s known. We do not expect to know something immediately, and minimal “how did it go?” questions would be appreciated.

I look forward to putting this behind us, focusing on the celebration that goes with our wedding 18 days after court, and all the last minute planning and re-planning that goes with it. :o)

Again, thank you all for your love and support.

(And, yes, Chris, I typed this from the living room, just because I could! Thanks for your help!!)


On a lighter note (no post is valid without at least one) – the Bears’ season may be over, but it’s ok, the Stars' first face off just happened, & the Cubs are in the playoffs, so I’m now fully distracted and need to sign off. More to come soon!
