When Push Comes to Shovel
March 31st, 2010 by     

I expected wedding planning to be hard, but I didn’t expect the drama that has sprung with each step closer we get to making our union official.

The title of this post comes from an energetic conversation my dude and I had last night in the car about all the chaos surrounding us.

As the days pass, the impact seems to lessen, but suffice it to say, the long standing issues between my FH and his younger brother (much younger… ie. 13 years younger!!) seem to be surfacing right in the middle of our pre-nuptial stresses.
