The Countdown

For the last oh I don’t know…50 or so days I have been a living breathing time clock. Every morning I wake up abruptly! I immediately grab my phone and check the date–Its July 22nd that means the wedding is in 16 days–eeeek!! Then I must double-check that is for sure in 16 days, on the count down Bed bath and Beyond has provided on our registry. Yup 16 days! Then I get up and get ready for work.

I try to talk about different things other than the wedding at work, because I’m sure people are sick of it. So Bob hows your dog doing? Jan are you excited to head back to school this summer? But really this is whats playing over over inside my head….

In TWO days we get our new apartment! THREE days it’s last day of work for a whole month!!  SEVEN days it will be my birthday!!! NINE days bachelorette party!!!! In SIXTEEN days it will be my wedding day!!!! SEVENTEEN days, Kaui for ten days!!!!!!!!!!

Every now in then I slip, OK fine, more than now and then…

When a customer will ask me how I am doing I will respond, automatically, quite rapidly, wide-eyed , without even breathing respond “GREAT!!!Im-getting-married-in-16-days!!!!!” It has gotten to the point that all the regulars just say “How many days?”every time they see me. Just the other day I was at Chipoltle and I ran into a customer,  from Starbucks, he yelled across the room “20 days!” With a thumbs up.

I would have never thought I could get all of Clark County counting down with me until the wedding day!
