Like it.

Yesterday all the gifts from the shower arrived. We had to make a lot of room and think very Euro as far as storage goes, cause we have... like... no storage. We spent the afternoon together unpacking the gifts, it was nice spending that time talking and laughing. I came across this picture and I really love this rack with all those colorful plates. Maybe John will build one for me someday.

I'M 50...days away from the wedding!!

I'm officially 50 days away from THE BIG DAY.
Less than two months. I am so excited and so overwhelmed. The list of little details gets longer and longer. I get a little bit more and more crazed everyday. Some days it all feels very surreal than the pink post cards arrive and I say yup, people are coming. We really can't wait, I keep having these day dreams of when I see him for the first time at the foot of the church, and I just keep praying that I will keep it together. Just wanted to say a quick Hi! Have a good weekend all!

My daily Happy break!

I've been in New Mexico for the past week babysitting. I am exhausted mentally, physically and emotionally. This week was difficult, and I probably cried to myself and over the phone to John at least five times. Not only were the hours long and the children a bit difficult, but I really missed John. I know people say it will change but I hope it doesn't ever, I hope I always want him close. As hard as this week was it was a real eye opener as well. My problems are minor compared to others every day battles to do something I take for granted on an every day basis. I am not ill, I have family and friends who love me and I have the ability to smile. Still sometimes its easy to fall into a slump. Do you do something everyday that makes you smile? Well you should, everyday at least 15 minutes a day. I realized I was so upset because, the past week I didn't have my daily walk with John and Juju. My skin looked different, my body felt different, my confidence was down. I saw my two favorite people, I realized... I missed my Happy Break! So today I took a Super Happy break with John and Juju as soon as I got back from the airport, and I was right back on the Happy track...choo choo!
