![cordial-5.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNoEz4PuPuQcRjdHLySyoXWoji7yu4gXePQgTezRVCZYF/cordial-5.png) Truth be told, I should be writing my vows right now, but instead I'm trying to squeeze out one last post for this series. Let me tell you right now, this one is going to be raw, short and unfiltered. This wasn't the series I had hoped to write, but this is what I came up with. A "labor of love" doesn't even begin to describe it. Well... I guess not in the figurative sense. In less than 24 hours, I would be married to the love of my life. Words cannot begin to describe how I feel. But, words *can* describe how I feel at this moment. I feel **spent**. It has been such a trying 10-month voyage in this 5-year adventure we've been on. There were lots of ups and downs, but it's been one hell of a ride. We tried to do a lot in such a short time, and we ended uo getting frustrated about a lot of stuff. Now that the finish line is in sight, we're trying to just let stuff go. It's out of our hands. Let the chips fall as they may, so to speak. Trying to finish this post before I run out of juice. Big day tomorrow. Thanks for letting me vent. _{I've been campaigning for @lukestokes witness account @lukestokes.mhth for months now because I knew him way before Steemit. I can vouch that he's an awesome individual who has nothing but the best intentions for this platform. As I mentioned, my share of the expenses have been [mostly from my last remaining savings from working for FoxyCart](https://steemit.com/writing/@jedau/cordial-chronicles-1-an-introduction-the-abcs-of-getting-married). Even though my contract has ended for a couple of years now, I would forever hold fond memories of my time there. Please do consider voting for him as a witness!} --- _{Join me in my [Year of Resilience](https://steemit.com/writing/@jedau/another-day-in-the-clouds-1514395103-8583865)!}
