Change of Plans and A Milestone

OK...so the wedding plans have changed a bit, but I think for the better.

The original plan was for us to get married on Nov. 24th, with a small reception afterward, with just close family and friends. Well, the reception is still on for the 24th, that hasn't changed, but looking into officiants, it just costs so much and seeing as I am planning this on short notice, and it being a holiday weekend, there really isn't anyone available. And my dad thought of getting ordained online to perform the service, but then, who knows if all those sites out there where you can get ordained are legal, and what if we find out down the road that is wasn't.

So, we decided to do the simple way to get married, and head down to the Justice of the Peace. Really, we just want to get married and this is not only the most cost-effective way to do it, but to us, it doesn't matter where we get married, as long as we do. So I spoke to the women today, who seemed so nice and happy for us, and she put us on her calendar for Nov. 20th after 5pm. My parents will be there and I am going to ask her Monday when I call to confirm if it is OK if we want to say our own vows, since we each have some written. It may not be the way we originally wanted it, but we'll be married and that's all that matters. I'd marry him anywhere, anytime. What will be great is that we'll still have the reception on Nov. 24th with our family and friends, and seeing as we'll already be married, we'll be more relaxed to enjoy ourselves.

Now...what is this milestone I mentioned in the subject line?

We've hit the 1000 mark here at Kimbo Central, which means that my blog has been viewed 1000 times. The counter is at the top of the page, on the left hand side, and I believe as I write this the count is at 1020. I'm pretty excited! I seemed to have a group of readers, mainly family and friends, but still, it is really cool to me that you all come here and check out what is going on with my life. The whole concept of blogging is really great, I think, it is sort of like having a journal or a record of your life events, something you can always come back to and look at and reflect on how you've changed, or how life has changed. I read through some of my old blogs recently, blog upon blog of all the dating struggles I was once going through and how I developed the mentality that I was going to end up alone. Now, I am a month away from getting married to the man that I have been waiting and hoping for. I hope as my blog gets 1000 more hits, that my life will take me in more unexpected and wonderful places that I can share with all of you.
