There are 17 days left until the wedding! And I feel like I'm insane for scheduling the wedding the weekend of finals week! Gahh! Every day I feel like I am losing my mind and forgetting something important. Good thing Mom is there to tell me I'm not crazy...
As far as I know this semester, I have an A in everything. Of course finals are a big part of the final grade in some classes, so that could change, but I know for a fact I'm gonna do pretty well. I can't wait until the honeymoon so my brain can take a break though.
I got a surprise birthday present: I'm a member of a Texas fishing forum, and they're hosting a catfishing tournament/fish fry on Saturday. The guy responsible for organizing the event has been helping me out with fishing tips, and he invited Brandon and I out on his boat to do some scouting for the tournament! Unfortunately Brandon has to work, but I get to spend my day off tomorrow fishing on a BOAT for once, instead of traipsing through mud. I'm going to the tourney on Saturday too, just to learn and eat delicious catfish. Happy birthday to me!
Anyway, it's back to the grind!

I lied.
There's one more thing I want for my wedding/birthday that I can use on my honeymoon:
...this FANTASTIC Esther Williams swimsuit. WANT WANT WANT! At $70 it's more than I'd spend on swimsuits normally, but reviewers say it's a super quality suit. Yum!

(Mostly) Unrelated
Okay, so this is about wedding stuff, right? Well, I've decided the only item I really want for my birthday/wedding is Red Dead Redemption. And, it comes out on May 18. This means we can bring the PS3 on our honeymoon, and after a long day of kayaking, stay up all night playing it! (We just need to make sure there's a store in Broken Bow that sells games, I suppose.)
What's so awesome about this game?
If you have a poor internet connection and/or can't watch the video (looking at you, Mom), here's a synopsis:
Red Dead Redemption is a sandbox game (this means a completely open world--go where you want and do what you want). It's also a Western. Not only is it the first Western game for any recent consoles, it looks freaking beautiful. You play as Generic Western Tough Guy, roaming the West (from what looks like Colorado all the way to Mexico) doing whatever deeds strike your fancy. You can be evil or good; you can gamble, rescue stranded folks, capture criminals, steal horses, hijack stagecoaches, whatever. You can hunt in the wild and sell skins. You can capture and break wild horses. You can fight in the Mexican Civil War. Basically, you can do anything you want to do, and the vastness of the game seems unprecedented. And after many years of complaining about how the horses in games never move correctly, I'm awfully happy about how much effort the developers put into the physics of the horses.
I know it has almost nothing to do with the wedding, but I just can't wait for this!

Honeymoon plans
We originally planned to stay at a lovely bed and breakfast in Broken Bow, Oklahoma for a few days, relaxing and taking bubble baths and doing other honeymoon-ish things. BUT! I thought it might be more fun if it were a little more adventurous. I found a riverside cabin in the same area for the same price per night!
It has a deck with river access (hello trout fishing), full use of kayaks, an outdoor fire pit (to cook our trout on!), a flat screen TV, full kitchen, and jacuzzi tub. It has the best of everything, except for internet. Luckily, Brandon's got a company data plan on his phone...
It's also within a few miles of a trail riding company that does half day rides in the nearby hills plus a meal. It's by reservation only, so it'd just be us and a guide/cook. How fun! Broken Bow itself looks like there isn't much there, but that's okay. All we need is a place to get a fishing license and some groceries.
The cabin is $200 per night, and Brandon successfully got time off. I want him to be able to have a day off at home before going back to work, so we'd be there 5 days and 4 nights. The ride is a bit overpriced at $90 per person, but it includes what looks like a really fun meal, and I figure we deserve that after all the Ramen!
I'm so excited!
