365 days in the majority of years, approximately 76 years in a lifetime.
We have 42 days (or approx 0.0015% of life) until the evening before the big day and everyone asks how things are going..... Those who are married usually ask with a look of knowing intimidation, those who are not married are probably going and just overwhelmingly excited - awesome.
We've also got a Birthday today. Corinne is now 25. A quarter century. There is applause in the air and I am thinking of inventive ways to celebrate, determined that a respectable cricket score is not lost in the build-up to the 28th of the Eleventh.
Corinne is also working every hour of the day, her routine at the moment is crippling and I'm carefully monitoring her frame of mind and physical condition, I'm working her hard. Any day that starts at 6am and does not physically stop until 10pm is asking a lot. It usually begins with her classes at Boston Latin. Her skills have turned her from an observer in the classroom to being requested by the kids within just two weeks and she's basically a full time teacher during her training. I delight in the stories she comes home with, telling me of her interactions with kids and staff alike - it reminds me how many social etiquettes are formulated in an educational environment and brings me back to my own fun times in school. It also reminds me how tough continual testing of knowledge can be on a student and the teacher.
Corinne is also working at an Orthodox Jewish School and has just as rich story from there. Completely different environment but all the same interactions - children are fascinating and I feel as though I am only just out of that age.
People have also been asking about our Registry and although link have been posted, they are a little older in the posts now.

More to follow on activities over the weekend of the 28th November but for those reading this and attending think of the following
Wedding, drinking, talking, eating, drinking, dancing, travelling, drinking, eating, talking - then we go to the after party ;-)
more soon.
