Dear Friend's Marriage

So, one of my dearest friends is getting married!  Oh what a fun and exciting time in your life.  I should know, because Im experiencing it right now!  Mollie came into town today and we went to look at two wedding venues.  The first was the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art and the second was Moore's Mill Country Club.

Both were beautiful locations and really had a lot to offer space wise.  I am a little confused as to why Mollie and Josh are so dead set on Auburn when neither live here.  However, although our tastes and styles are polar opposites, I need to be the best friend, keep my mouth shut, support her, and only give my opinion when asked.....HA!  That is not easy for me to do....although I am trying my very best.  I tend to be one of those people who cannot hold their feelings inside, and must express how I feel about everything.  It is probably not the best quality I have, and therefore, I am working on it.

Mollie has been in my life and been one of my best friends since freshman year at Auburn.  We lived in the same apartment complex all through college, I have been there for her and she has been there for me.  It is so ironic that she is marrying a Josh whose mother happens to be named Cindy, when I am marrying a  Josh whose mother's name is Cindy!  What a COWINKYDINK!

I am truly happy for her and cannot wait to see how the next year pans out with her planning process and I told her I have no problem being the person to ask the awkward questions no one wants to ask because they don't want to come across rude.  I think every wedding can become tense and therefore, if she needs a tension breaker, I am her gal.  Currently she is living in Atlanta, and I miss her terribly and hope she moves back to Auburn for good, however Josh is in officer training for the military and the chances of them being here is very slim once his training is complete.

The house next door is close to being finished and we will get another set of neighbors.  Our neighborhood is booming and I am so glad we moved in when we did.  Our wedding invitations go out on Monday!  Can't wait to see who all responds back with no's and yes's.  The days are getting longer and the countdown is getting shorter.  I am so ready for warm weather as the days are beautiful just a little too chilly still for much activity outside.

Another topic I have been debating is whether or not to purchase a Kindle.  Anyone who knows me, knows I hate cell phones, I hardly ever answer mine.  I don't have a blackberry,which I insist on calling a blueberry for the mere fact you shouldn't name a phone after a fruit and I constantly argue that the reason people don't know how to RSVP to invitations or lack communication skills is because all communication is done via technology.  Anyway, you might wonder, for a person who doesn't like technology you seem to have a lengthy blog, but never the less I am considering buying a Kindle.

I love to read, however, I go through books so fast that I end up spending  fortune buying books and then my nightstand gets too full and I have to either sell or give away the books I have already read.  If I buy a Kindle I can buy books off Amazon and it stores close to 1000 or more at one time.  Does anyone have any thoughts on this?  If so, i'd love to hear them as I need to make a decision soon.  I went to Books A Million last night and spend $73.00 on books, half the price of a Kindle, and already read through one last night.

This is all for now, I am going to go crack open a beer and watch some NASCAR and wait to my beloved to come home.
