I Should Be Asleep

I'm not usually one who has a problem sleeping in when I can but this week I can't even sleep until my alarm goes off. It doesn't matter what time I was planning on getting up, either. Yesterday we were going to be up by 7 AM so we'd have plenty of time to get ready and get to the County Clerk's office. I was wide awake at 6:30. Today we were thinking we'd have a bit of a relaxed morning with breakfast at the hotel so 8 or 8:30 would be ok. Yep, 7:15 I was cuddled next to Branden trying to doze off again and 7:30 I gave up.

Branden doesn't seem to share my sleep troubles. Then again, Branden is very good at sleeping in and even better at putting things out of his mind to do so. Even when he does wake up earlier than he wishes to get out of bed, he can usually manage to roll over and drift away again... And if I'm in bed at that time I usually get a bit of cuddling and an early "I love you" out of his brief moment of wakefulness. :)

I don't feel like I'm extra stressed right now. I really feel out of the loop. I'm here and I haven't had a real chance to sit down with my sisters and find out what's going on. My mom and I have had a chance to talk, I tried on my dress with her and there are just a few things we need to get done. Branden's mom, Mary Jo, jumped right in and helped with the boutonnieres and had them under control in no time. I had a fun chat with Stacy while she dyed my hair and it was great to see two of her kids. Katie brought all the girls together at her house for an evening of food, talking and laughter. Chantelle gave me lots of hugs and made sure our room was ready for us. Of course, Rick'n'Abby gave us a warm welcome our first night and Rick showed me my cake toppers... They are both adorable so I'll be displaying both of them. I've had a lot of fun but I still am not sure exactly how ready we are for tomorrow.

Feeling out of the loop is no reason to be awake early so I have to think that I'm more stressed than I feel. I'm getting married tomorrow... Maybe I'm just too excited to sleep. It feels unreal and thrilling at the same time. After all this time, I'm getting married tomorrow. :)
