Craziness

I’m walking out the door in ten minutes to grab kids from school and head to airport for Las Vegas.  I’m a little bit nervous from all the last minute things to do.  I’m not a calm traveler until I hit the plane, and then I chill.  But I always stress a little about packing, getting to airport, parking, checking in, getting through security, boarding the plane…silly, but that’s me.

My crazy Ty Gurney headed off on his motorcycle last Friday for a solo trek to Vegas and has had quite an adventure.  He’s my guy.  Can’t quite believe that two people so opposite work so well, but we do.  People always say we have a fairy tale relationship and while I wouldn’t call it that, I do think its amazing that we found each other (remember, he was just the guy I interviewed for Kai in Flirting with Forty…he wasn’t supposed to be my real life guy!) and we’ve found a way to make it work, long distance and close distance.  I think humor helps.  And perspective.  Now that I’m older I know what’s important and have learned to pick my battles, too.

I will be sharing a link in the next day or so to the wedding chapel so you can watch the wedding live–or archived for a few days–if you feel like joining our festivities on Saturday!  The service with Elvis is at 5 pm PDT on Saturday.  I’ll get the link up via Lee.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone!  I’ll check in Monday once I’m home!

  6. Congrats, Jane! So happy for you!! It just shows you never know when or how you meet your “Mr. Right”! Many, many happy years ahead for you, Ty & your family. : )

  7. Congratulations again! I do believe when people say opposites attract. Me and my husband ore totally different and people said it wouldn’t work. but, 11 years later we still get along as good as the day we met. I know you and Ty will have a wonderful happily ever after marriage. I’m so happy you will share the wedding with us all. I hope it all goes smoothly for y’all.

  10. Awww, thank you for sharing this special moment in your lives with us. I’m sure a wonderful time will be had by all. Congratulations! Aloha to you and Ty and your families!

  11. I can’t believe your big day is here!!! So happy for you. And I agree with Janine above. Met my husband when I was 16 and he was 17. His family said it wouldn’t work. He is into skiing, scuba diving and used to play tennis. I like to travel, cook and read. Celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary this December. Luckily we have the same strong family values so I guess that’s what keeps us together along with the differences making life more interesting. Look forward to seeing the video of Jane and her handsome prince. Best wishes for a magical wedding day.

  12. Jane,

  13. You two have fun and CONGRATULATIONS!!! My son probably would have been on your flight if I would have figured out a way to get him a plane ticket! His baseball team was probably on your flight heading to a tournament there! See you when you get back Mrs. Ty Gurney!!! 🙂

  17. If your romance isn’t the stuff of fairytales, I don’t know what is! Sending you happy wedding wishes and enough love to last you two lifetimes.

  18. Hi Jane, keeping up with you is like a whirlwind, one I envy… (smiles warmly).
    The picture of Ty reminds me much of this past summer in BC, where typically here all bikers hit the roads and freeways come the good weather.
    That said? how damn exciting is it to marry a man with as many facets as Ty? beach-guy-to-biker! (faints)..
    Wonder if Ty can teach my husband to surf? (chuckles..)
    And how damn exciting is it for Ty to marry such a gorgeous woman who carry’s the ‘whole package?’
    Karma truly lives and so does destiny.

    I hope to see via the link of the wedding in the chapel. In fact? I wouldn’t miss it for the world:)
    Have a fabulous time.
    And *cheers from Canada*
