• Pastor K

  We had a wonderful meeting with Pastor K last night - sat on the couches at the church and talked for about 2 hours.  At the end he told us that he truly enjoyed spending time with us this evening as we are two bright people.  He feels that we have great communication skills and are rational - though we still have some things to learn about each other and how we communicate.

  One thing he said last night that I never had thought of was about John telling me what I want to hear.  That perhaps John takes longer to process how he's feeling or whatever and so he's telling me something immediately because he knows I have that need to have an answer right away - but he's still figuring out what he's really thinking.  That I'm more of an outward thinker - hearing myself think something through by talking to someone else is important.  That John needs to tell me he needs more time to think about it, instead of just giving me a filler answer.  That was a great item to learn - hopefully we can put those two things into practice.

  He is checking into sending us a link to take the Prepare survey online so that the results would likely come faster.  I'm really looking forward to continuing counseling with him.  I wish there was a way to get him involved in my ceremony - but he'll hopefully be able to attend and that would be wonderful.

  I need to check in with my Uncle Tony and verify that he has been licensed in MN and if not, figure out what needs to be done to make that happen.  I've been awaiting his response to my email regarding Unity Sand instead of the candle - but he hasn't written me back yet.  Perhaps he's at a conference right now, I'm not sure.  Maybe I should just give him a call tonight.

  Do you know how many calls I seem to have to make these days?  I also need to verify with mom that she even called the seamstress - she was going to set up a time for me to take the dress and get the bustle sewn in.  I bet she didn't do it though because she found her own dress to wear.  Hmmpf.  People tell me I need to designate things - but sometimes I guess you just can't.

  John & I were "treated" for our Grains "Allergy" at the Chiropractor last night - so that means until 6:30 pm today, we're not supposed to consume or touch whole grains/pastas/rice/bread etc.  I don't have tons of fruit in the house - so I just ate plain hotdogs for breakfast.  lol

  I'm waiting on Paul to call and tell me he's ready for work so we can head over.  I got a new property yesterday and have to transition my old "easier" one to another accountant on my team.  This month end will be interesting.  Yikes!

  I have created a new wedding website - I will post the link here when I get a chance, actually I might just send out a message so that it's not public.

  Getting the guest list finalized and invitations put together this weekend - I hope!

  I think I'm out for the day, have a great one!
