1:15 AM - The Morning OF!

Poor Jackie was worn out so he's gone to bed. Me? Heading that way soon. Still trying to process today's events AND wind down.

As I sit here in the living room listening to "The Golden Girls" in the background (Hallmark Channel), trying to wipe my mind clean in preparation for tomorrow, I thought....why not Blawg about it? That way, I can "purge" and still have the memories HERE!

I am simply overwhelmed from the support and help we've received from our friends, family, and the Greeneville community! There is NO WAY we could have done this like we are without the help we've received.

I am in total SHOCK that we have not had ONE major snafu in this whole process. NONE!! Either we planned really well, it was in the stars, or someone's been watching over us, but this whole process has been MIND BLOWING!! And there are PROFESSIONAL WEDDING PLANNERS?? Really???? Do drugs much?

As I look ahead to the next 20 hours or so, all that is in my mind is WHY we are doing this. We love each other - dearly. After 20+ years and STILL together? Yeah, we got this! And it's time to celebrate this. IT IS TIME!! We are no longer afraid what others' think. And more specifically, we don't care if someone disapproves. It's not about THEM...it's about US.

It's always about LOVE. Always has been....always will be.

And I do love him. He grounds me. Because...well, y'all KNOW how I am. He keeps me "grown-up". And I am the type person that SOOOO needs that!

..............

Sadly, this will be my next-to-last "blawg" in this format. But I'll be super-focused on something else soon and kick-start this bad-boy up!

Thanks to EACH OF YOU that have followed our journey here! I've "liberated" myself by doing this. Some of these updates, after reading through a few, really brought back memories.....memories of little details that I'd already forgotten. So I will NEVER give up this blog.

Until tomorrow's update......Love you all.
