Remiss

I've been terrible about writing this week...and there's so much that has happened!

I've been training for the Wichita Falls Sprint Tri (which happens this weekend) and the Dilloman (scheduled for the end of the month).

Step and I are taking semi-private swim lessons with Dan Lawson at St. Stephen's school.

I co-hosted a wedding shower for John and Shannan and got to spend quite a bit of time with them over the 4th of July weekend. I could go on and on here. I had a great time and wish we could see them more often. Step's ex-girlfriend was there as well and barely looked at us the whole afternoon. I got to see JenBen who left on Wednesday for 3 weeks of salsa teaching in Amsterdam. etc. etc.

Wedding stuff continues to stress me out (I was in a really bad mood last night). This week it's the invitations which should have been ordered last week and Stepan and I STILL don't agree on style, wording, font, or layout.

There's tons more, but I've got to hit the road. Mom is expecting me around 3:30pm and I just made a lunch date with my honey:-)

No no no, don't be stressed! Just remember, marriage is about compromise, and what better place to start than finding a acceptable compromise for the invitations? Whatever you end up with will be lovely, and in ten years you won't remember what you disagreed about anyway. It will all be okay.

I would suggest letting Step take the lead here. Give him an inch and you can take a mile. :) Besides he has done all that research on alignment and stuff with website building.

That's right, listen to your cousin and sister!
COMPROMISE = Letting Stepan have his way

Yeah, Jen, let Step pick out the invitation. You can choose the next car you buy or better yet the color of paint on the walls! However, do not listen to me...I after all have one failed marriage under my belt.

Jen, Pick your battles..............carefully. Permitting the other person to "win" builds a lot of credit when an issue is really important to you. This works whether or not you are married. So, I agree with your mother and I have no failed marriage under my belt!
