counting down

a month ago we decided to officiate this thing we love. well. say some words anyway. observe with friends kinda thing. ya know, have a little fire. maybe put on lipstick. buy new shirts. simple. for a month i've answered the what's and when's and how's and bla bla blas with a smile and a "it'll come together. we know who will be there - we know where it'll take place. what more is there to do?" and then "aahhhhhh" and "ohhhhh"... tonight we made a list. on a little ol piece of scrap. a little list for a little wedding. OH MY. "we have soooo much to dooooo!"

10 days. counting down begins. time to make some plans. solidify the whatnots. ideas we've had. but plans not. work has been done on the land. i do have a dress. sorta kinda dress.
my hair is done. we've invited who we want - the day is set - the time has yet. to be set. sunset-ish... yes. it should be lovely. unless. it rains. and then it will be a mud fest. a red clay slip and slide mud ball. i do love the smell of rain out there. in the desert. yes. it'll be beautiful.
