Why can't my clock be fast too?!?

I have been a report-producing machine lately! Go me! It has been a very productive couple of weeks at work.

I have also recently purchased shares in the company, so I am officially a shareholder now. Very exciting. Of course, I didn’t have any extra money for this with the wedding expenses this year, so my grandmother gave me a loan (as long as I paid interest and provided her with a strict repayment schedule). I am very excited about this. We are coming up on the end of our first year as a new company, so after that, they are going to have another “valuation” done and then I’ll see whether my shares have increased in value. I’m sure they have, we’ve had a great first year.

Tonight, my grandmother is taking CT and me to Red Lobster for dinner. I am looking forward to it. I think my grandmother will be on her best behaviour if CT is there too. She is usually quite a critical woman, but I don’t think she’ll say too much in front of him. So, I think we’ll have a good time.

Tomorrow evening, CT and I are meeting with the pastor. Which I am somewhat nervous about. I just don’t want him to find out we’re living together before we’re married and refuse to perform the ceremony. I highly doubt that would happen, but I’m still worried. I guess if there were any “deal-breakers” for him, he should have asked us about it before he agreed to perform the service back in November. He told me that he wants to meet with us 3 times before the wedding. The first one is to discuss the ceremony (order of service, readings, vows, candles, etc.), and then the other two times are to discuss marriage and some situations that can cause problems in marriage and how to avoid them. So, I don’t think it will be too personal. Very different from when I was engaged the first time. My church had a different pastor back then and he made us fill out this huge questionnaire and go through pre-marital counseling (although we only made it through 2 sessions before the engagement ended). So, I guess it all depends on the pastor. I don't know this one very well since he's quite new at my church and CT and I haven't been attending much lately (we have been going to another church that we like the style of service of better).
