This beach wedding photo may look familar to you. In July of last year I posted a similar picture when Keith and I had planned to get married on a beach in Maui. We should have been married in November of last year on our Hawaii cruise. Unfortunately, after planning everything and making down payments on various things, we were informed of a medical insurance problem I would be faced with if I married before I was 26. Since I require insurance to pay for my MS medication losing the coverage I have through my mom’s plan would have been bad. I’m covered on my mom’s plan as long as I remain a full time student and until I turn 26…unless I marry XD Since I am still a full time college art bum, trying to acquire my own insurance before I was 26 turned out to be a big hassle with no positive results. Pre-exisiting condition regulations and all that jazz. *RASPBERRY*!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOO! As of March of next year I will be free to marry and as of a few days ago it has been made official….WEDDING ON KAUAI IN JUNE OF 2010!!!!!!!! WWWOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT!

Just yesterday I put a down payment on a beautiful house called the Aloha Hawaiian Hibiscus Home in Poipu, Kauai. I haven’t set a final date yet (still looking through various wedding services) but the house is rented for June 13 through June 20 of next year! I already have the dress (the dress I got last year XD) and my Maid of Honor picked out so I’m told it’s all downhill from here Yays!

IN OTHER NEWS!

I will be spending lots of time on the road in the next few weeks! A LOT of time! The last week of June will see me driving up to Massachusetts for a two week visit with Keith’s family and a few days after returning from that trip I’ll be setting off for an even longer drive to Texas to visit my family. I may be in over my head, hehe.

I’m told not to get stressed out on account of stress being a trigger for MS relapses but I’m setting myself up for some rather strenuous trips. We’ll see how it goes. I am armed with prescription strength anti-anxiety meds and  Ambien so I think I’ll be fine I always get really excited about going on these kinds of trips but I’ve noticed that by the fifth or sixth day of family visiting I’m ready to hide…in a cave…with only cheese, chocolate, and penguins to keep me company. 

You know…I figure if I get tired of visiting I’ll just take an Ambien and then people can talk at me all they want. I might hear them…I might not. *Devil horns sprout up* Hehe!

Anywhos! Wish me luck and I’ll try to keep my blog posted with wedding plan updates!
