As if there isn't enough stress...

It's been a big year for Derek and I. Things both wonderful and scary are happening.

In April we got a new roof that we're still paying for (steel shingles, so it'll pay for itself in the long run, but steel shingles, so holy hannah that bill....)

In June we started planning a wedding.

In July we told our families we were planning a wedding (way more stressful than just planning it, let me tell you. They're happy for us, but my side at least, has opinions. Derek's side are just pleased.)

And in the past week Derek's car died (quickly - transmission blew on the way to work), and I've gotten the word that Grandma won't make it to my wedding in November.

We've been told she has 4-6 weeks left - just enough time to show her my ring, hopefully my dress, and say goodbye. Hopefully, it's fast and relatively painless for her - it'll be very painful for all of us.

*hugs* It's always so much harder on those left behind. I'm sorry, hon. I'm glad you'll be able to share some of your joy with her just now though. It will hopefully bring both of you some peace.

Thanks Stephanie. She's doing pretty well so far, and mom and I will take my dress up to show her on the 20th when I get it.
