2x infinity is still infinity

It is a little under 2 months to the wedding but for the last month, the wedding has taken a back seat. Since March and April, Nate and I have embarked on the other two most stressful events in life, namely changing jobs and moving.

Nate got a new job about 30 miles from where we live now. Great job and I'm glad he's fulfilling his dream. The result of that however is that we decided to buy a house and move closer to where he works. As you may recall, I went house hunting last summer with my girlfriend and bought a place with her. This year, exactly a year later, I'm house hunting with Nate and consequently selling my old place.

Talk about stress.

Over the weekend, we found a place we both like... albeit small. It was affordable and in a neighborhood we love. Every other house on the street is way over our price range. Our house though, is an ugly duckling, but we think it has inherent beauty. Unfortunately, no one else sees it that way except for us. This weekend was filled with angst as we heard "after the fact" objections to the house.

Talk about more stress...

Ironically, the wedding has provided lots of solace. It's way way less stressful than looking for a house. I made Nate go shopping for his suit on Saturday. We had a lot of fun. I thought he was absolutely handsome and gorgeous. Next Saturday, we are going shopping for dresses for the flower girls. I'm excited about that too! It's a lot easier than shopping for a house.

People keep asking us why we want to put ourselves through all this stress. I mean, we could put some of this off until after the wedding. Nate had a great way of putting it. He said, "we're already infinitely stressed. 2 * infinity is still inifinity... so why not"

I liked that explanation. But I reserve the right to get massage therapy in case the crap hits the fan.
