In case you didn’t know yet, Justine Corcorran and I are getting married on August 4, 2007 in Blaine, Washington.

Neither of us has talked much about the wedding on our own blogs, and I guess it’s high-time for me to start (considering I’m sitting on the front porch of her parent’s house, while inside and on the back yard Justine’s bridal shower is going off). That, and there’s only 28 days remaining until the big day.

Am I nervous? Have I only slept an hour or two a night? Am I constantly popping ibuprofin and using a hot towel to soothe my sore jawbone from clenching my teeth so much lately? Yes to all would be appropriate.

Of course I’m nervous, anxious, worried about the planning coming together, money, work, the fact that I’m about to get married and will be with this one woman, side by side, better or worse, for the rest of our lives. At the same time I’m very excited. I can’t wait to share with the world the new wonder-duo that we are. We are an amazing team that has proven over the years to be damn-near indestructible.

Over the next three weeks I’ll do my best to keep an updated log of activities, feelings, and the buildup to our wedding.

July 7, 2007

It’s just under a month now before the wedding. I’m sitting on the front porch at Justine’s parent’s house using Justine’s laptop to make this post. I started with the photo (I wanted to do a little more with it, but I figured ‘if I try to do more, it won’t get done’); it got me thinking: what’s changed over four years? Sure, our faces are a little rounder, we don’t get as much time to focus on our hair or tans (you should see my arms in the left photo - woo!). That cosmetic stuff aside, there’s a lot of growth, and lot of learning, and a lot to look forward to. I’m ecstatic that for all Justine and I have been through, after four years we’re still exciting people to each other.

Maybe it’s the fact that I’m surrounded by wedding reminders today (I’m just outside the wedding shower, remember?), or the lack of food in my belly (I arrived just in time to see many, many trays of sandwiches being laid out) that’s causing my sudden feelings of joy and revelry. Either way, I’ll take it. It’s a good day, and those are precious.
