Sweetness was retained!

You didn't lose no sweetness. I don't know how much of a decision it really is, but I feel stupid for coming to the consideration of it so slowly. If we were married at the late-beginning of summer, Mid June or therabouts, we would have a full month of final preparations, without school if we did it in 2010, working 40 hours for two weeks and without work for two weeks if we did it in 2009, before the wedding date. We could go immediately from the wedding to the shore or somewhere on the east coast just to get our stuff together and repacked, and from there to Africa or Latin America or South Asia, far away from cities and terrorism, to spend a month of volunteer time helping women get proper pre-natal care, rebulding a monastery demolished during the Cold War, or teaching street kids to read and write english and to smile and think about trusting adults. We could go from there to Pompeii for two weeks in a rented house. We could go back to that house four years later, decide to buy it, and learn languages with our children on summers abroad.
Any thoughts?
Just in case it did't read as such, put a big old "I don't know, but what do you think about..." in front of all of this.
