Under Pressure....

My job is one of ebbs and flows. In general the summer is slower, but the school year is sort of crazy. This year will be extra interesting because of a new program our parish is starting that I am heading up called Arise. There is a lot of coordination on my part. Ordinarily this would be fine. This year, when trying to coordinate wedding planning as well, it will get a little crazy.

Sacraments begin soon and I just realized that my craziest time (February) will be the projected time that the next round of Visa paperwork will be happening. It is funny but for me, thinking about the stress is often as stressful if not more so, then when the time actually comes and the real stress happens.

Adding to my stress today, I sent out reminder emails to all of the vendors we decided to meet with this coming weekend in Chicago. Well, the videographer we had lined up wrote me back and informed me that he had another commitment and was hoping we could reschedule for another time. I got extremely annoyed, because if I had not written him, Jim and I would have went all the way out to where he was. I think it is best to pass on this videographer.So the hunt is on for another one.

I have been feeling overwhelmed as of late with all the things that will need to happen before the wedding. Luckily, time spent with Jim (like this past weekend) reminds me of what we are working toward. A marriage. All the crazy wedding planning and visa process is so we can start a life together. I need to keep my mind focused on that! In the end, it will all be worth it!
