Invites

Today was the day I needed to get back on the horse, so to speak.  Since the end of my relationship I have avoided a lot of the wedding related things I had been doing.  No more wedding TV, no more wedding blogs, no more working on invitations.

I feel badly about some of these things.  I didn't jump at the opportunity to help my sister make baby announcements and I feel terrible about that.

In the last month or so I started reading the wedding blogs that I subscribe to.  I certainly don't read them as thoroughly or with as much scrutiny, but I started reading them.  I keep an eye out for things that inspire me, one way or another.  Someday I hope to have a need to read them closely again.

This weekend, my second cousin (whom I feel closer to than that - more like cousins) finally chose a date to get married.  He asked me to make their invitations.  He had asked me over a year ago when they first got engaged and now I have three weeks.

I appreciate my family's worry about me.  They weren't sure I would still want to do it, or that I would be comfortable doing it.

The truth is I kind of want to.  I know it will be hard in some ways, but I also will appreciate a project for a couple of weeks.

So here we go... officially trying to resurface into my life in one more way.
