Lesson 4: It's the little things

It has truly been what I should probably view as a crappy week, but I'm in surprisingly good spirits. Why? Why indeed. I should think it was a crappy week because the car got broken into by some crackhead on Polk street, who took a few CDs and yet caused $3000 worth of damage. I should think it is a crappy week because I then had to drive to Sacramento with a broken window so that I could get to a compliance conference on time. I should think it is a crappy week because Byron lost his wallet last night.

I don't think it is a crappy week because someone found and returned Byron's wallet with everything still intact. It somewhat restored my faith in humanity. I also turned 33 this week, which in my eyes is a good thing. I feel somehow in control and ready to conquer this task of planning a wedding without killing anyone. That's a major step forward.

I'm also in a good mood because next weekend we are going to the Mendocino coast to look at places to get married. I've finally confirmed a handful of places and fingers crossed we move into May having narrowed down where we will be getting married. I suppose narrowed down isn't the appropriate word choice. We have nothing to narrow it down from.

All in all I am looking forward to actually looking at places. In fact, I was feeling so good this week that I bought a new wedding planner book. Oh yes...nothing like organization to get me excited.

Here's hoping the good mood continues and that after next weekend we are one step closer to setting the date.
