Oh my, where does the time go??? I should probably blog more often to be considered an actual blogger. There have been so many things going on and I've been so busy with planning.......OUR WEDDING! We are so excited. Less than 3 months away, June 16th is when the big day will be. I'm so excited to have a ton of fun, dance, and for a super special day all in celebration of the love between me and Justin. Oh my gosh how exciting is this??!!! ...and at the same time it's kinda weird to think that after 32 years (not 32 yet, but soon) I'll be changing my last name, I'm going to be a new family member to all of Justin's aunts and uncles and cousins....and he will be a new family member to mine. I'll be.....gulp....married. For quite a long time I was so okay with being single then our years together I was good with this companionship where we co-lived, yet we were individuals. And soon, we'll be so much more, we'll be one! Is it always this much of a rush of feelings? The excitement, the anxiety, the rush of love, the nervousness, the experience, the awkwardness, the freaking out in hopes that it'll be perfect, I love it all......I love the crazy feelings, the fluttering in my heart, the certainty of it all and most of all, I love Justin so much! Ahhhhh, so pumped!
Who knew that planning a wedding meant that there's not a day that goes by that you don't think of it until the day of. On top of all of that thinking...life still goes on. My job is going good. It's not perfect, but is there any perfect job? I love what I do, there's no denying that, I just wish that I could deliver it my way vs the assembly line way.......touché. There's been a change (for the good) that my schedule is changing to four 10s and I'll have every Friday off. A 3-day weekend every weekend, save money on daycare, save money on gas, but my most favorite part...and extra day with my Rory and Gwenyth!
Rory and Gwenyth. Rory isn't the type of infant that gets around by rolling across the floor from point A to point B like Gwenyth did. He does get his way around, though...he spins around and pushes and pulls. It's fun to watch him grow...and grow he is doing! He eats 3 meals a day plus his milkies, he talks and talks, he observes and explores and he LOVES LOVES LOVES his sister! Gwenyth is the most amazing big sister that Rory could ever wish for. She plays with him and she makes him laugh, she'll even change a diaper (she thinks it's fun). Gwenyth is also doing amazing in school. For "I Love to Read" month she won 2 parts of a competition that they had in school which was the girl that read the most books and the girl with the most points (for the quizzes that they take after reading). She was glowing when she came home with her awards. Not even a week later she came home with another award for being Star Student in the 2nd grade for PhyEd. I love seeing her succeed, it's the best feeling in the world to see your child happy.
So we've been busy, we've been good. In the past 3 months, there have been times of laughter, tears, frustration, joy....just as any family may go through. And here's to future months of changes and planning and successes to report (next time not 3 months later).
