I've Got Momentum, Baby!

What a weekend! We booked all the hotels for our honeymoon, went to our last NFP class, planned out all the prayers and readings for the wedding ceremony, and cleaned out the storage closet and moved all of Landon's clothes into it (to make room for mine in the bedroom pretty soon! ;)) And that was just Saturday!


Sunday his family came over, rolled up their sleeves, and cleaned, organized, and moved things until everyone dropped. They put in the new (to us) stove, moved over a few of my furniture pieces, took over a truck load of things to store until our spring yard sale, and did an overhaul of the bedroom, bathroom, and living room.

I think that getting everything done is possible!

Phew!

Yesterday I worked on the DJ contract, the registry, table linen rentals, and finding jewelry for me and my girls.

Tonight I will take a nap. ;)

Yay. Two months and one day and I'm the little Mrs.

Amazing

Blessed to be in this field...I have so much to learn!

Music makes me smile

Firework by Katy Perry

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag

Drifting throught the wind

Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin

Like a house of cards

One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep

Six feet under scream

But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there’s still a chance for you

Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light

And let it shine

Just own the night

Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what your worth

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

As you shoot across the sky

Baby you're a firework

Come on let your colors burst

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space

You're original, cannot be replaced

If you only knew what the future holds

After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed

Is so you can open one that leads you to the perfect road

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow

And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light

And let it shine

Just own the night

Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what your worth

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework

Come on slet your colors burst

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

Boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

It's always been inside of you, you, you

And now it's time to let it through

Merry Christmas To Me!

From my love. Happy, stylish sigh. Now I'm really for my Italian Honeymoon!! :)

The Future is Here

It was a long weekend of self-reflection, inspiration, and decision making. Nothing changes if nothing changes, as they say. So what needs to change? And why?

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,

and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined,

he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

                                                            ~ Henry David Thoreau

So what are my dreams? What am I moving towards it? It is a goal, or a wish? Where will I be in a year or five or ten if I don’t change anything I’m doing now? It seems like a rather daunting thing to begin to worry about, but truthfully, why wait to think about it? The longer I wait, the longer it will be until I’m my very best self. I’ve been thinking about why I want to work on myself. My self esteem is a big part of it. I don’t want to be constantly bombarded by thoughts of self doubt, loneliness, disappointment, and stress. There is so much good in me, but I can’t notice it because I am habitually focusing on all these negatives. For now, the knowledge that a happier, more confident woman of strength is in my future is enough for me to push forward!

Today is a good day.

Moving along...the wedding!! It was a productive week. We sent out the straggling invites and have begun to get them back. I planned out about 80% of the music for the ceremony and got some of the decor for the church and reception hall ordered. Worked on the honeymoon a bit, too. Things are falling into place and little by little the list is getting shorter. Thank goodness for my Man. He’s helping. J

AND…..Here is something for the wish list!! J

Life is Like a Box of Chocolates

"The indispensable first step to getting

the things you want out of life is this:

decide what you want."

Happy 2011. This is the year I get married. :)

Christmas week was spent in Virginia with family and wedding venders. Big strides were made in the areas of the website, food, decorations, dresses, cake, and invitations. I was even able to take a few deep breathes and sit doing nothing for over two seconds. It was wonderful.

I have the very best man. Unfortunately my very best man has been moved to second shift at work. Boo. Adjusting my mindset on “normal, daily life.” We’ll work it out.

My big plan for the weekend is to Dream Big. I’m rather excited about that.
