This is crazy, this is crazy, this is crazy

Just dropped Kira off at the airport. She's off to Huntington Beach, California for a conference...until wednesday night. Then she's on the red eye, back in Philly thursday morning...I'm heading down after work on thursday afternoon to join forces with her (and anyone else who might want to stop by, pizza and beer for everyone) and finish off the packing. We're moving on friday. Yes, we're insane. Yes, we're stressed. But in one week, the move will be over, we'll be in Hoboken (where everyone is invited to come spend some time with us) and we can start really focusing on the next big deal, our WEDDING...
It's been a rough month, but it could have been so much worse. Being apart has been hard, but the weeks rolled by pretty quickly. Kira's hung in like a champ...she's just coming off the stress of a major project at work and she's been trying to keep things together in Philly while I've been in Hoboken during the week. We realize how fortunate we are that these are our problems, that things could in fact be far more difficult...but we're also human and we've had a few "moments" in the past few weeks where we broke down a bit. It's going to be so good to have all of us back together (Denali has been with my folks for the better part of a month, so we haven't all been together for quite a while).
We have managed to get a few more wedding things in order. I bought a suit this weekend, picked out shoes and a tie...I must admit, I've looked worse. Kira has been fitted for her dress, which is currently being altered. Erika finalized the invitation design and showed us an initial print last night (we had a wonderful dinner with Kira's mom last night at Citrus...everything was so good). We ordered the wine glasses and the mason jars for the flowers...decided on a menu for the rehearsal dinner...and started the process of registering for gifts.
We're moving along and looking forward to being in Hoboken, where we can really start coming to grips with the fact that we're getting married in 10 weeks! Hope everyone is doing well

You are both doing such an amazing job of keeping it all together. Kira told me that you pretty much have the apartment un-packed and set up. I can't wait to see it and visit in the new apartamento. Hope Luna quits her barking! little stinker. I'm loving the blog. Will visit more often for sure! I didn't know you had posted so much...I've been so busy printing :)
