16 days waiting

Getting in today's post early as Alli and I are headed to Ohio as soon as she gets off work. I have a lot to do today but right now all I'm doing is holding down this couch from floating away. I'm a little worried about getting in all my NaBlo posts while I'm up there, but I'm pretty sure I can swing it.

So here's what's on tap for our five days in Ohio.

• Getting a tattoo added to my ever-growing Celtic 3/4 sleeve
• Having lunch with my buddy Chip
• Meeting our prospective wedding photographer
• Partying it up with some great friends
• Going over other wedding plans with Alli's Mom
• Dinner with our dearest friends, Mike & Ginny
• Picking up special-order tires for my GTI that I ordered back in May
• And not to mention a nine hour drive to get there and another nine hour drive home

This will be our only trip home for quite a few months, so we are happy for the opportunity even if it will only be for a few days. Since the trip is shorter than originally planned, the trip to see my own Mom isn't going to happen, which sucks, but I'm sure she understands. I grew up living pretty far away from my Grandparents (her parents) so this is nothing new; just a part of life, I guess. Still, I'm so excited to be going home.

Alright, I'm off to clean up and pack.
