Stress, Weddings, and Relief

Lately, I have been so busy looking for a job and planning a wedding.  Have you ever tried to plan a wedding in your hometown from the other side of the world??  I have and there is no helpful articles in Bride, etc.  There are tons on planning a destination wedding and on how to deal with relatives, but none on planning your wedding from overseas.  Maybe, I should lead the frontier of weddings planned this way and start writing articles to contribute to these magazines.  Nah...no one wants to read what I write anyway, except for Uncle Shan (*Shout Out*).

Anyway, the wedding plans are coming to an end, I hope.  Luckily, my mother has been a saint as far as running around to venues, but secretly I know she enjoys finally marrying off one of her daughters.  I'm happy I got the first wedding.  I don't know if she'll be so gung-ho with the next one, and with my slight disadvantage, that would be horrible.

Phillip and I are taking the summer off, which is a much needed relief, but that means finding a job with an August or September start.  I'm a ball of stress and Phillip is always calm and collected.  I had to pick the one profession where everyone is so laid back and last minute.  I'm a planner with a hint of OCD in certain moods.  I need to know I'll have a job in a few months!!!  I need it!!

So to avoid such stress, I've started sketching and this blog.  I pulled my camera out and dusted it off.  I'm going to remain calm and learn patience if it's the last thing I do.  Also, the weather is getting warmer.  That means more bike rides, more late nights sitting outside convenience stores, and I'm hoping some swimming soon and maybe a trip to some islands around Korea.
