Approval to print

After an entire month of going back and forth with proofs and edits, I have finally given my approval to print the wedding invitations.  I have to say it was a bit of a challenge having to explain all the changes I wanted through email.  It would've been a whole lot easier to meet with the invitation people once and point out the changes in person.  But this is how their operation works so I guess they are willing to exchange 30+ emails with each client to obtain the final product.  As long as my invitations turn out exactly the way I want them, I'm not complaining.  I also have high confidence in the invitation people as their sample invitations look flawless and are superior in quality.  Trust me... I did my research!

The other day at dinner my dad said "Lynn, I woke up this morning and realized there are only 4 months left until you move out."  I can tell my dad gets sad thinking about it.  Double =(

It's starting to hit me that I will be leaving the house I grew up in for the past 18 years and the people I've woken up to for the past 27 years.  I have bittersweet feelings about it.  I'm going to miss this house, my room, my parents, my comfort zone and safety net.  However I'm extremely excited to live in a home I can call my own, filled with things only Steve and I have chosen.  I also can't wait to be Steve's roommate as he claims he is "fun to live with" and I'm sure he is, but I can really be the only one to determine this! 

While it seems my dad is slowly trying to let go, my mom is becoming over-protective and wants to make sure I have everything I need to survive in my new home.  So far she has bought me a non-stick frying pan, a roasting pan, a set of stainless steel cutlery, and a non-stick wok.  Very nice... too bad Steve and I don't cook!  LOL
