   One year, one month, one week, and one day.... I AM GOING NUTS!!!! I'm already done with most of my planning and have no desire to do the rest right now, so I'm taking a much deserved break. My Mom's on my back to get the rest of the details ironed out, but I keep pointing out to her that there are couples who haven't even…

   Thanks! Yeah, I hate my new job that flew me to London. I knew I was qualified for it and that I'd likely be hired, but I know that I'll hate every minute of the job. I have to call people and misrepresent myself (aka lie) to get information which we then pass on to their competitors. I just hate making phone calls all the…

   I can say that as someone who thought she was only a few days out and is now a month or two out, I want to hit things with other hard things. Also, I've defintely done the whole incredibly soul-sucking wants to take all your personal life job, and the only advice I can give on that is to try really hard to not bring it…

   Apparently we may be moving in a few weeks! There's an apartment that's available nearby for almost half what we're paying in rent. We'd have to give up quite a bit (washer/dryer, backyard, driveway, second bedroom, second bathroom, tons of cabinet space in the kitchen, walk in straight off the street vs. 3 floor walk up…

   Lots of mixed drinks.I feel like even the last few months have flown by. I'm sure the next year will. I'm a year maybe more out and I feel like the time is flying

   You hate your job? The one that flew you to London? I just enrolled my Dog into a new training class at our next station, which doesn't help you since you are not a pet person LoL. Since your FI will be back, I think you will be able to find things to do together that make time fly by. Just take it day by day.

   First of all, that job doesn't really sound like something I would want to do either, but at least it's a job! I'm betting that life will get better once your FI gets back, those last few days are always the hardest on me because I just get so ready to see him and I HATE waiting. As far as tips to get you through this next…

   Our original wedding date was going to be a year and 2 months from when we got engaged, and I didn't look into anything further than venues. We went to one bridal show to get some ideas, and picked our venues. But I planned on waiting a bit for everything else. Then we had to bump up the date by 5 months, so I was left…

   I'm sorry you hate your job but FWIW, I felt the exact same way when we were still a year out. But the time really seemed to pick up and before I knew it, it was our wedding day already! There were times when it felt like it was dragging and I wasn't doing anything with the planning because everything that could be done…
