cutting our losses
we've decided to postpone our wedding. we've reserved our reception site's next available summer time slot - July 12, 2008 - about 11 months after our originally planned date. we're pretty sure we've made the right decision, especially in light of the fact that we don't even have any idea whether or not he will be back in time for our originally planned wedding. before we got too involved with caterers and the like, we just decided to move the date.
i'm definitely less stressed now about the whole thing. and while i'm kind of disappointed that it won't be this summer, my eagerness to marry him has now been way surpassed by my eagerness to see him at all. so i don't think i'm really that disappointed, just more relieved.
i wish someone in the powers that be could realize that these people they put through security checks are actually real people - people who have lives, who have fiancees, who have plans to get married. or rather, had plans.

There are still plans. Just different plans. You must feel like a boulder has been taken off your back.

I'm glad that this weight has been lifted for you. However, I still would really really like to get together with you and Shok this summer. I've been planning your shower gift for a few weeks now and I think it might kill me to not get something to you by the end of the summer :) I'm happy to come to wherever! Let's plan something girly and fun.

Not to invite myself or anything, but I should probably meet the world's cutest child and see what all the buzz about New Orleans is all about :)

Lacey was explaining this situation to me and I can't even imagine what you must be feeling. You will definately be included in our prayers.

Just reading this string of comments. Yes, New Orleans is good. The cutest child will be available for viewing to all admirers ;)
So when are you going to let us in on the good news, Meisa?

OK Meisa, it's been 2 weeks since you updated your blog -- it's time.
Don't you have some good news you want to share?
Or shall I spill the beans?
