First, you need to know that I don't do well with change. New things stress me out and it takes me a long time to get comfortable in new situations. With that said, Beau's bro (Adii) has moved in with us for three months until he graduates from college. This is a major stress in my life right now, even though I know it shouldn't be. He is actually a very good roommate - clean, quite, mostly keeps to himself actually - but the mere fact that he is there causes me mental distress.
Adii's moving in has presented another problem. My best friend D has been planning an engagement party for Beau. I have very little interest in having one, but she is moving to Turkey in August and will not be able to attend my shower or bachelorette parties, so I'm very happy (and humbled) that she would want to put this together for me, Beau and our families. We decided on Memorial Day weekend back in January and spread the word to family and friends so that they could keep it in mind. How does this relate to Adii's moving in? Well Beau put Adii's graduation (slash move out date) on the calendar, and it is of course Memorial Day weekend... Clearly, we cannot have the engagement party that weekend. D was very chill about it (way more chill than I was), and we decided on a new date in June, only to discover that its the tentative date for Beau's sister's bridal shower! Ugh! I love his sister and feel horrendous asking her to change the date, but there is really no other weekend that works for the engagement party. The more I think about the engagement party, the more I know its superfluous, but the more I feel like I need to have this one wedding related event with D. I know its stupid because she will be at the wedding, and that is most important, but I just always expected her to be with me throughout the entire process. I really don't know what to do. I guess I'll have to suck it up and talk to Beau's sis and mom to see if we can work it out.
The final new stress in my life is that based on the pictures, my mom and sister have decided that they really don't like my wedding dress. Also stupid since its my dress and it doesn't matter if my mom likes is as long as I do - blah, blah, blah... but, I want my mommy to like my dress.
Sorry that was really negative and stupid post, but I needed to get some of that out, so I'm not a psycho person at home.
Here is a pretty picture of the Mediterranean Sea from a beach near Tel Aviv, Israel (photo by me). I can't wait until I get to visit this spot with Beau on our honeymoon!
Deep, calming breaths... ohm...

Life has many chapters, I suppose. And how much overlap will there be, really, between the shower and the engagement party? I think it would be kind of sweet to have both on one day - shower at lunchtime, engagement party at dinnertime. I suppose they're taking place in two separate cities, though...
Don't worry, you can sell the dress, and probably make a profit! Things always look better in the morning.
