:: the time has come ::

11.17.08 {adieu... for now! ♥}

“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–
Of cabbages–and kings–
And why the sea is boiling hot–
And whether pigs have wings.”

The time has come, my dear friends, to bid you farewell for a short spell! This weekend I’ll be standing next to the man I love, joined by our family and friends to celebrate our marriage. It’s still hard to believe that my life is about ready to take one of those “big plunges”… lol! Then I’ll be off to sunny Florida right after, with all our stuff (er… most of it being mine–eeek!) for the Big Move. Nesting and general domesticity are sure to follow, and by then I’ll hopefully be back online and able to show y’all some photos from the wedding!

I just want to say a big thank you to all the emails, advice, stories and tips you have shared with me since I announced L. and I were getting married! It’s been such a blessing to have a lovely group of friends who can offer help. Thank you all so much!

To all my fellow U.S. readers: wishing you an early, happy Thanksgiving! (I’ll be unpacking that day… lol!) See you all in a few weeks!

Congratulations, Casey! Every bit of your wedding plans that you’ve shared has been inspiring, and I’m sure it’s going to be a wonderful day!
