As I have spent a good portion of the last three hours looking at cakes on the internet, this chapter really hits close to home, lol. Real-life wedding in 154 days!! Meep!

Chapter Thirty-Four--Frenzy of Planning
Sarah POV

( Chapter! )

We told you chapters would be coming faster. So here's the newest update, chapter 33. Please review. It kind of feels like only one or two people are even reading anymore. :(


Chapter Thirty-Three--Picnicking and Planning
Shelly POV
( Chapter! )

So yes, real life seems to be encroaching on me. However, I just started a new job--and that's making MORE time for me, not LESS. Time spent sending out résumés and going on interviews is now spent at my client's bedside. All night. While she sleeps. Lucky for me the bosses okayed me having my laptop at work, yay! So now I actually have time to write--and have to stay awake somehow, anyway. =D So yeah, the chapters should be speeding up now. ^_^ Enjoy.

Chapter Thirty-Two--Citizens
Sarah POV

( Chapter! )

All right, I know it's been awhile. Real life has intruded upon our own Sarah, so I can make no promises about how quickly chapters will come. Planning a wedding is time consuming, but hopefully Sarah and I will be quicker with the next chapters. In the meantime, enjoy chapter thirty-one and don't forget to review. Shelly

( Where is home, again? )

Well, to say the least, I wasn't kidding when I said that chapters might be coming slower--real life is just so...so. Lol. I think it's incredibly appropriate that I'm posting this chapter right now, because somewhere in between Thanksgiving and Christmas (okay, December fourth) I got engaged! (And I feel bad because just two chapters ago I was all "ZOMG I have a bf!!") We're getting married near the end of the year--11-10-09. =D I figured we'd be done with this story before that happened, lol, but I'm not complaining. And yeah, I'm already planning stuff. Me being OCD like I am, the first step was to buy a wedding binder for all the papers, lol.

This is gonna sound cheesy, but when I was writing all this Frodo-and-Sarah stuff, I always kind of thought to myself that it might be a bit idealistic, but that's how relationships should work. And I have to say that for the most part, that's how things are with my Knight In Shining Armor. =)

Okay, okay, I'll shut up now. I know none of you care what's going on IRL, you just want to read the new chapter. ^_- Enjoy!

Chapter Thirty--Now Is Forever
Sarah POV

( Chapter! )

Hey guys, here's a new chapter. I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter Twenty-Nine--Is It Love?
Shelly POV

( Chapter! )

So I thought that maybe you fans might want to see a picture of Sarah and I in RL at my wedding. Keep reading you guys. I promise you'll enjoy it.
Post again soon,
Shelly

Well, folks, here it is. Sorry it took so long, but I just haven't been much of one for the computer lately, and when I am, it's usually because I'm conversing with my boyfriend. ^_- I finally have one, lol. We've been together for five-and-a-half weeks now, and I've never been so happy. Ironically, his name is Cody, lol--though he's NOT the one that the Cody in this story is based one. (I'll admit, I'm so besotted I didn't even make that connection until today, lol.) So it might mean slower chapters, but on the bright side, it'll mean higher-quality mush, now that I actually know how to kiss. XD

Chapter Twenty-Eight--Always Knew
Sarah POV

( Chapter! )

so here's another chapter. Probably the last new one for a few weeks as I'm GETTING MARRIED in 3 days. OMG, I'm getting married in 3 days...that just seems so unbelievable. sarah and I have been writing this story for four or five years. I didn't even know the man I am marrying when we started. That is just so crazy. Well I hope you guys enjoy this and remember to review. We love all of you, but our reviews are dropping off. Just let us know you're reading even if you don't have any comments. Thanks. Shelly


Chapter Twenty-Seven--Just Friends
Shelly POV

( Chapter! )

Other people own the song contained herein. =) (Specifically, it's called I Swear, the original country version is by John Michael Montgomery, and there's a pop mix by All 4 One.)

Chapter Twenty-Six--In Which Things Begin to Work Out
Sarah POV

( Chapter! )

So i know it's been awhile, but RL gets in the way of our writing too often now. Don't expect too much more for the next little while. I'm getting married in two weeks and then RL will really assert itself for awhile. Don't forget to leave us a review!
