October 9th

So this weekend was quite eventful! :#3

I have some great news on many major fronts! My favorite is that Jinn and Troll are going to let us move in early and not make us pay rent!

This great news came last night at Sunday dinner at their house when Jinn told us that her and Troll had been talking and they were okay with us starting to move our stuff in and still not have to pay rent until November, which I have to confess was becoming a stressful thought for me because I was pretty sure we were going to have our hands pretty full with the wedding. They told us they know what it's like being newly married and wanted to help us out as soon as they find the key. I'm so excited to start moving in all of our furniture and have it all in one safe place so I don't have to mentally keep track of it anymore! We can start building our future home - early! And I'm super stoked! My mom (Fairy Queen) says that we can start taking trips to their house in the morning to slowly start taking all of it over and I'm so relieved. (I just hope they find the key!!)

Other than that fantastic news - I have more! Not only did we order and receive the bridesmaids headbands (I might've mentioned that before) but now the groomsmen ties are here! :D It's all coming together and it's such a nice feeling! I have finally solidified in my head a lot of where and what I want from the Abandoned City furniture, and all I have now is to ask and solidify requests for them from the kind women who are lending them. I'm actually starting to feel purposeless again since I'm running out of things to do regarding the wedding. (I know, I'm pathetic lol)

On Saturday - I had my first bridal shower! And it was way fun! My aunts came up with cute games - one was matching iconic movie couples to quotes from the movies (which I was terrible at) but the other one was adorable! It was a giant game of memory where half of them had candy bars and the other half had things that were supposed to match the candy bars. Like "Father of the Bride" was "Sugar Daddy" and "The Wedding Ring" was a Ring Pop and "The First Wedding Dance" was a Symphony. If anyone got one right, they got to keep the candy bar. It was super cute and super fun. Then we opened gifts. Many cool baking things, a couple practical things like sheets and space heaters. But one of the coolest gifts I got was from Atlantean's mom and sister, which was a big basket for our first Christmas together. It had Hot Cocoa and cinnamon candles, stockings, mugs, ornaments, tree skirts and was absolutely adorable. Then they asked me to tell them the complete story of how we met up until he proposed, and I cried and felt loved. Also, my aunt dropped off all of the foliage that she's letting us use for the Abandoned City decor, so that's another thing I have my thumb on top of.

In love with being in love,
