So as many of you know, I deal with stress by straightening things. I really, truly detest cleaning (like scrubbing anything--except, I love washing dishes IF they have been properly rinsed and are almost already clean). However, I love stacking things up or organizing file folders or reconfiguring closet space. Go figure. My very unhappy freshmen year at college was the neatest time of my life.
So the stress is heating up here in Room 401 of Skaptopara I. We'll be home in 25 days. We'll be moving shortly after that. We don't have jobs. We haven't reserved a moving van. We haven't unpacked a single of my dorm room boxes to get rid of my old stuff. It's weighing on me, but we have so few items with us that it is hard to compulsively organize them, so I've taken up organizing our internet bookmarks. No joke I just spent 30 minutes making virtual folders and doing virtual tidying up. Am I crazy or what?
As a side note, for some reason this week Nathan and I keep remembering how much fun stuff is waiting for us at home. It's so exciting--it is like re-opening all of our wedding gifts in our minds! Like....polka dot accent plates from the Francises, the summer tablecloth and cloth napkins from Nathan's mom, our pitcher from Steve and Vicky, our plate that was my grandparents' from my aunts, our monogrammed towels from Nathan's grandmother, all of our kitchen utensils from Nathan's aunt, our pots from Nathan's parents, our cake plate and china from my parents...I could go on and on, but I won't. The point is, we've been thinking a lot about all of you. Oh...and our tea kettle from the Linkes and knives from the Davidsons.
Anyway. It is very exciting. Perhaps I'll do a pre-wedding party picture post to relive those fun memories?

It's good to have a constructive way to deal with stress, dear. We will have fun going through all our old stuff together, and prepare for our new beginnings.
HOORAY! I can comment at last!
Guess who else obsesses about internet bookmark tidiness? What a surprise, right? I was beginning to think you and I would never have anything in common...
Also, in keeping with the internet anonymity, I love the picture of that crazy-expressive blonde girl in the shower picture. You know, actually, she looks a little like a cartoon character... Maybe she should pursue a career as a professional Disney-animated icon.
I can't wait to have pictures of our ridiculous expressions at MY wedding festivities!
love, the Princess
Princess--
Nathan made fun of me because ALL of his bookmarks (some of which were already in folders) were all put into a folder labeled "Random Nathan." Apparently, it is unbelievably anal to folder existing folders simply because you:
a. didn't create them yourself, and
b. don't like what they're named.
