Medicals and wedding eve

Life has been very busy recently, so I haven't updated. Here's a summary.

We had our medicals on Thursday. This wasn't traumatic in itself, but both K and I are scared/phobic of needles. We were both dreading the blood tests. However, we purchased a self-hypnosis MP3 for dealing with phobias, and both of us had a listen before going to the surgery. We obviously should have been more prepared and listened to it more than once, but I still think it helped. I wasn't at all as nervous as I would normally be around a needle (the only other time I had a blood test, it took two nurses, one to comfort me while the other one did the deed), and K seemed to take it in his stride as well. I know neither of us enjoyed the experience, but we did get through it with relatively little trauma.

The general medical was an all-clear, and the blood tests are due back in ten days or so. We're hoping that we can submit our ITAs after that.

And, in other news, this is the eve of our wedding - we are getting married at 3pm tomorrow! Very exciting. I am so happy to be marrying such a wonderful man, and it makes our NZ plans even more fun than they would have been anyway. I can't wait!
