Hyper-Planner

So this is probably the only time that I would describe myself as "hyper".

My coworker looked at me last week and said, "I can't imagine you being peppy". It's true, I adhere to a more cool, calm, and collected walk in life. Subdued even. Some check if I'm still breathing. Well, I don't get overly excited. I think it just takes too much energy. I like to get excited about things that actually matter, or I feel strongly for.

Anyway, back to the hyper-planner thing. Since we got engaged 3 weeks ago, I've been on hyper-mode to get things done. I started sending out emails and quote requests to vendors for receptions sites, photographers, and DJs. I want to get the big things squared away by this summer, so that the other details are just extras.

In that effort, I am taking a day off next week in order to view the potential reception sites. Luckily, I know where there ceremony will be -- my church in good, old Union City. Challenge #1 has been finding a reception site that is nice, but doesn't break the bank or cause us to start married life in poverty. I have a few contenders.

I'm hoping that after we see everything, we will be able to narrow down the choices, so that when Cent comes to visit he can see the candidates. I figure it would be a nice thing if he got to see where we would have the reception. I care. His opinion counts. I am a hyper planner, or as Cent says "Super Planner". I think that by July, I should have the big things booked. We'll see how it unfolds.
