The wedding is in less than two months and, fortunately, I've become only more confident that we're making the right decision. I was never uncertain, really, but planning a wedding is stressful: it had the potential to cause conflict or to bring us closer. It's done the latter. Neither of us wanted it to be a big event. Neither wanted something very expensive. Both wanted it to be secular. And we're achieving all of those goals without argument.
In just over a week I start a new job. It's still within our library system, but in a new capacity. I'm very excited--I think my previous experience in the branch and in education will make me a good fit--but I'm also sad about leaving my current location. My coworkers are kind, considerate, and hilarious. I'll miss them terribly.
Planning the wedding and preparing for the job interview have dominated the past few weeks of my life; writing has taken a back seat. I'll be able to take public transportation to the new job, which will be over 30 minutes each way, and I feel like I've been given the gift of time: time to read, to write, or simply to stare out the window!
