Lately, my bf and I have been discussing moving to MA. He is from there, and it is 2000 miles from where I have lived all my life. We are looking to live on the cape, and have looked atsome places. I am just so excited.
I am going to have an enormous garden. A witch's garden. What a beautiful place I will create. I will plant trees, flowers, lots of roses, herbs, and vegetables. The air is so wet there, so I am really fortunate in that regard. I can't wait to find the house we are going to buy, so I can plan it all out.
Additionally, we are going to be located in a very artistic community. That makes me so happy I can barely stand it. I can do my pottery, painting, and other forms of art. I might be able to sell some of it. One of the places we are looking at is near the beach, so maybe I could ride my bike there with my art supplies. My bf's gma loves to paint, so I have to have her over to do art. We can have her over for a month. She can stay as long as she wants, bc she is very nice!
Since we are going to live near the beach I can take my dog for walks on the beach. That excites the crap out of me. I love the beach so much. I love the mountains, but maybe it is time for me to move on and experience other ways of life. Maybe that's why I broke my leg, and why I have such horrible anxiety when I go snowboarding (well, unless my friend comes). Maybe I can finally learn to surf.
I can't wait to have my family come out and visit. We can go to the beach, and hang out in my magical garden. I want to get some stone benches. I think I will also have a special place for the bench I am going to make out of my snowboards. It is time for me to get a new snowboard anyway. The one I use is the one I was using when I broke my leg. I'm over it. It will make a special place to sit. My family can come for a lobster bake. We can have cod too. I love lobster, but most people would say I will get sick of it. I disagree. I eat it when I want now. I don't see it being any different.
I am thinking of having our wedding out there. I was thinking at a lighthouse, and have the reception at our house. We can rent tents with those windows to set up in the back yard. If the weather is nice we can pull the sides up. I was thinking of having a lobster bake and steak for the reception. I don't plan on having a very large wedding. My family will have to fly out, so not everyone will be there. I think a lot of my family will come though. My bf's family will come, but he has a small family. I would say that having 25 people would be reasonable. If we do everything ourselves it won't cost too much. My bf is very concerned about me spending too much. I won't spend too much. It will all be spent on my dress and flowers. The food will cost some money, but there aren't going to be that many people, so we can make it nice. I want to have cheeses and salami with fruit and crackers. The cake will be what it is. I am sure it will be very basic and beautiful. I think I want the colors to be a very pale pink and white. I would like accents of red roses at the reception only. The flowers I want for my bouquet are calalillies. That's what my grandmother had and it was beautiful. The men will wear authentic Scottish garb. My dress is period theme. My maid of honor will wear some kind of period wear, but she can pick it out. It just has to be light pink. The mothers shall wear light pink and white (not stark white, but a creme color).










Word to the wise...honey don't do so much yourself that you are worn to a frazzle for the big day. Delegate to friends who want to help...that can be their gift...
I hope your wedding is the doorway for a wonderful life with your fiancee...hugs, Norma
