First off, let's preface this by saying this has probably been the worst month EVER! I (Allison) was involved in a pretty intense car accident on Oct 29th on the way to an in-service meeting resulting in the center divider beating the 2001 corolla four times. My neck is being horribly mean, I looked like I was in a bar fight, and the insurance/workman's compensation people are being complete jerkos. To top it all off, today a car backed into my BRAND new 2010 corolla that doesn't even have the plates. UGH. Not a good month.
So, in order to help myself cope with the anxiety and horrible people surrounding me in the insurance business and drivers, I do wedding stuff. It makes me happy. EXTREMELY happy. As it should. So, the day after the accident as I sat at home in excruciating pain, I was on Zazzle.com, where we got our Save the Dates, and looked for "the perfect invite". Thank god, I found it! It was absolutely perfect and it tied in the Save the Dates. I LOVE it but not as much as I love Tylason.
Anyway, after waiting to see if we could get better deals, we got an email saying we could get 50% off and free shipping. Of course, I jumped on it. So we ordered 100 invites, RSVPS, pink return envelopes and 10 additional save the dates because we didn't order enough the first time around. I opened the first box with Casey because I wanted something to make me happy as I had a bad day with the insurance agencies only to notice they weren't our names. UGH. I told myself to relax and opened the second box. There were our invites!!!!!!!! and the Save the Dates :) Made my day. They're so beautiful and wonderful and almost perfect. I had thought there was an actual ribbon on the invite and when I saw there wasn't, I got a little sad but it works. I still love them and Tyler loved them when I brought them home.
As I sit here writing this while Tyler watches some movie with naked men (Apocalypse?) and I am icing my neck after a WONDERFUL massage from Regina Seaman, I am thankful for my soon to be hubby. He has been through me with this entire fiasco and has always been there to make me feel better. To be honest, some of the days I got up because of him. He's one of the reasons to wake up in the morning and I can't thank him enough for that. Granted, my students also get me up in the morning but on the weekends, he's there...pushing me to keep strong and keep fighting. He keeps me strong. He is Tyler. He is everything to me and I am so glad that God allowed us to spend some more time together and share our lives some more.
John Tyler Schrey - I love you. I thank you for everything you are.
