If I don't put it all on social media, does that make me anti-social? 🏳️‍🌈 👨‍❤️‍👨

Today was the last TX Ren Fest trip for @willbeason.bsky.social and I (at least as residents). I've gone every year since 2000....and many before that. Will and I have gone together every year since 2018. It was bittersweet and spent with dear friends. Another milestone checked off.

In a world of chaos, there is still much to be thankful for as well.

Five weeks. As I prep for our final Austin Thanksgiving, I realize that each week will hold some final milestone. I have to take a (paraphrased) lesson from Way of Kings -the future comes quickly, focus on the journey not the destination.

@willbeason.bsky.social is home for the week! Proof I need downtime: At airport to get Will. Stopped to grab him water. Exiting and someone was trying to come in the same door, I step to the side, so do they...we went back and forth a few times before I realized it was my reflection.

Motivation Monday...or maybe not. As my days at work before I take off for the wedding shrink, my focus on the holidays and wedding makes it so very difficult to care about work.

Partial wedding milestone reached...Book 1 of The Stormlight Archive completed. @willbeason.bsky.social is drawing from the first 3 books for his wedding vows. Now I just have to finish Books 2 & 3. Setting a goal of 88 pages a day.

The category is...... BOXES! One room completely full of wedding related boxes and items, another room with Christmas boxes. Both wedding prep and Christmas prep took major leaps forward today.

Christmas decorating is 10% done. That's enough for a Friday. And also......40 days! That's a whole Noah's Ark flood - but we won't forget the gay unicorns.

I've been waiting all week for the weekend. There are major wedding milestones to be knocked out this weekend. Six weeks will fly!

Days like today are the reason I am taking 4 weeks off spanning days before and after the wedding. I need to disconnect from office pettiness and condescension well before the wedding to make sure I joyfully immerse myself in the experience.

We pause our regularly scheduled wedding programming to begin Christmas decorating and culling.

While I have minimized use of Amazon for wedding things, quite frankly the convenience is a major factor right now. I'm sourcing some things locally, but time is moving swiftly - and there are also two holidays and a trip to Philadelphia before the wedding.

With the finalization of the guest list it means that so much more planning can move forward. Today alone multiple parts of the ceremony and decor came together. It is getting exciting!

Today is the deadline for wedding RSVPs. It appears that around 67% of invited guests have accepted, and, honestly, I'm not mad about that number.

How about a Fandom and music mash up. Both @willbeason.bsky.social and I are Doctor Who fans. One of the most incredible stories is that of River Song (I know the basics, but no spoilers). It made sense to add The Wedding of River Song to our preshow playlist.

Seven weeks. 13% of the year. We started planning almost 2 years ago when we booked the venue. Since then we have been so far ahead, but so much more is still to be done.

Putting the final touches on playlists before sending to the DJ. @willbeason.bsky.social loves instrumental music and Lindsey Stirling is a favorite. It was only natural to add her My Immortal cover to Will and Jay's Preshow.

One of my favorites books is "There's A Monster At The End Of This Book" as Grover becomes more and more frantic as the end approaches. Kinda like a countdown....

What to do when you are planning a wedding at the end of December? Begin putting up Christmas decorations, of course!

One advantage of being ahead on wedding planning is that when a groomsman's custom vest comes with the wrong lining, you have time to get a replacement made. I don't think this is "watercolor blue".

Today was my birthday, and @willbeason.bsky.social stayed to celebrate and took me to dinner - I take him to the airport at 4 am.

Tonight was a blue wave - a year too late, but it still gives hope. My birthday wish is for the momentum propel us through the midterms.

Now enjoy food pics.
