What happened? Life.
Not that I'm one to complain (okay, I kind of am) but life is hard. I have a lot going on. I have my first 10 km race of the season on July 25 in Toronto, so I am training like a crazy person. I am finishing up my PhD (actually, swear, almost done!). I am doing wedding stuff (finishing save-the-dates, booking rehearsal dinner venues, designing invites). I am working part-time (morning and night) at my university cafeteria. I am doing everything around the house (dishes, cooking, cleaning).
I am running a one-woman show. What, where is my FH you ask? Well, see, here's the thing....it's like this....

He's a ghost. Not in the Sam Wheat from Ghost kind of way, but close.
You see, my FH has an amazing career in which he synthesizes drugs that detect cancer. He's saving lives! The problem is the nature of these drugs requires that he start his work day at 2am. Which means he wakes up at midnight to get ready and then tackle the hour long commute. He then works between 9-11 hours, drives an hour, and arrives home between 12-2 pm. He's in bed by 5, which is when I get home.
So, we rarely see each other. Normally we can deal with this, but the wedding has made our complicated schedule tough to handle. We can't visit with vendors, because FH is sleeping. We can't work on invites because FH is sleeping. We can't choose music because FH is sleeping. I can't work on wedding stuff because I have to do laundry, clean, cook, etc. because FH is sleeping!
And, to top it all off, the majority of our weekends this summer are filled with friends' weddings (3 of 'em), stag and does (3 of 'em), wedding showers, birthdays, and bachelorette parties.
So, I haven't really been blogging. Nor have I really been wedding planning. But I will try, I promise.
Do you ever wonder where time goes? Should it really be this hard to plan a wedding with your FH?
