This is Frightening...Almost TOO Easy

Okay, so today marks one month since I became an engaged woman. So far this is what's already lined up:
.
1) the church
2) the hall
3) the entertainment for the reception
4) the photographer
5) my dress, veil and tiara
6) a limo is in the works, we are shopping around for prices
.
Am I crazy or does this seem a little TOO easy? Both of us have agreed on all choices (except my attire because we are keeping with tradition and he doesn't get to see it until the Big Day) and have found some great deals (my dress was bought at a boutique that was closing down so the dresses were all 50% off!!!). We have been able to keep within budget and have not argued over any of the details we have already taken care of. Maybe I should look at this as a sign that things are meant to be rather than some sort of quiet disaster hiding in the shadows ready to ambush us when we least expect it. Maybe we should look into being wedding planners after this...lol...talk about organized! Even my own mother is surprised at how quickly we have lined all our ducks up. I have always been the type to get things done when I set my mind to it, but geez...
.
We'll just have to wait and see how the rest of the time leading up to our actual wedding day goes. Here's to hoping it keeps to the smooth path...

My Kinda Sound


So, who out there saw any of last season's American Idol? And who also thought that Chris Daughtry was quite the rocker? I must admit that I gravitate to rocker types as that is the music I love. I was bummed when he got the boot, but has he ever proven people wrong! Last night I was listening to the radio and heard a song for the first time that automatically caught my attention. As luck would have it I never got to hear the artist's name (but I could've sworn it sounded eerily like Chris Daughtry's voice). Well, Lady Luck was smiling on me because I heard it again tonight and decided that the title must be "It's Not Over" after hearing the chorus. I came home and did a search on Google and lo and behold, the song is by a group called....Daughtry! Guess who the lead singer is...Yup, my ears did not deceive me. I should've known that there would not be anyone else with that distinct vibrato while singing in the rock world. I must say that this first release has made an impression on me. I hope that the rest of the band's music is as good as this song promises. To think that the group Fuel (another of my favorites) had approached Chris to front the band and he actually decided to venture out on his own. That could've been really dumb, but turned out to be pretty gutsy on his part. Quick sidenote: my favorite song by Fuel, which I can listen to over and over again is "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)"...kinda like the Daughtry song...If you get a chance, give it a listen and let me know what you think...I am always looking for new rock music...
