Drama. Drama. Drama...

I am so guilty of not blogging in a while but so much has happened and turned my whole world as I know it upside down!

So a couple weeks ago I lost my salary, not my job, but my salary. What's the difference? I work in the interior decor/design field. As you can imagine, with the economy the way it is not a lot of people are redecorating their homes. It is most definitely a luxury item. Instead of a steady paycheck, I am now getting paid per project, which are few and far between lately. Not only did this send me in a bit of a panic, it changed everything.

My "Platinum on a Penny" wedding no longer exists. We had to cancel it. Without my salary there is no way we could afford to pay for it. We needed to sink every extra penny away to help pay fun things like the mortgage.

I am doing alright. It makes me sad of course because I was so looking forward to it. What makes it worse is that it is the third time I have had to cancel it. Don't worry, we are still getting married, just in a very, very different way.
