Home Stretch

I started a post before leaving home - here's what I'd written:

Tomorrow, we get on a plane and head to California.
Today, we look around at the disarray that is our apartment and try to remember everything we want to bring with us.
My dress and shoes have been shipped out to California, so at least I don't have to worry about forgetting those. Or wrangling the dress onto a plane. Listmaking is my friend, and I'm hoping it will keep me from leaving behind anything truly important.

Now I'm here and finally getting around to finishing a post and publishing it. Last night, I laid out everything I was bringing. It looked like this:

Um, how is this all going to fit?!

But in pretty short order, it ended up looking like this:

No problem.

Our flight was delayed, and it was rainy in San Francisco when we landed, but we're here! We got a quick look at the building we're going to be using for the reception, and it is AMAZING. So much hard work has been done on it and it has paid off in a big way. I can't wait till Saturday so that we can share it all with everyone.
