My weekend with Grant has come and gone. I had a fabulous time with him. We saw a movie, went shopping, ate out, made two great dinners, got some wedding stuff done and truly enjoyed each other's company. I miss him already! But as each weekend comes and goes we are that much closer to being together forever.
Grant and I got the tuxes all set up so the guys can go get measured anytime up until two weeks before the wedding. We also got some gifts for people. I've spoken to the organist and I am working on making appointments for dress alterations. My mom, aunt and I finally decided on a centerpiece idea and bought some stuff for that. It is all coming together. I just can't wait until May 28...it's now less than 100 days away.
The Gators have a big basketball game tonight against Tennessee. It should be a good one.

Car troubles
The past 12 days have been long - especially for my 99 Saturn. Two Sundays ago I was driving back from a great weekend in Atlanta and it began to rain...
I was in South Georgia.
It was just before dusk.
My windshield wipers stopped functioning.
I made it to Baldwin, Florida where I met up with my amazing Mother who picked me up and drove me the rest of the way home (about 45 minutes). We left my Saturn at the gas station. The next day my fabulous Father and Brother went to pick it up and get the wipers fixed. I also got an oil change, coolant flush and something else...I forget.
Then, this past Wednesday I went to get into my car for lunch and tried to start it and nothing...So my Dad and I jumped the car and took it to get fixed...again. Luckily, the shop called and it only needed a battery. They replaced it and I picked it up after work.
Then, this morning I asked my Dad to warm up the car at 6AM before I went to the gym. He came back and told me it wouldn't start...again. The car had to be towed to the shop because the battery was totally dead. The shop said that the battery they put in on Wednesday had only 8 volts of energy so they replaced it again for free.
I was supposed to go to Gainesville this weekend for the Inaugural Sports Business Forum at UF, but decided after I got my car back at 11:30 this morning that I shouldn't go. I wish I could have gone, but there were just too many problems that made me think I should just stay here.
I am desperately trying to hang onto my car until the wedding has passed...even though it has no air conditioning, the fabric is falling from the ceiling and the radio changes stations at it's own will. I am not sure how much longer I can take it.
On another note, the wedding is in 107 days and Grant is coming to see me in 7 days. I am very excited for both. We booked airline tickets to go to Vegas for our honeymoon. After all of the wedding planning I did not want to plan a vacation. I am looking forward to doing nothing for a week in Vegas. It's going to be great.
