Family

This week has been a loooong one and it is only Wednesday. It is restaurant week and I agreed to help out at the Mint Restaurant due to restaurant week so I have been getting to my day job at 7:45am then leaving at 4:30 and going straight to 2nd job and then getting home about 10:30 so I have not seen David or the kitties but it all WORTH IT. I make a little extra cash for our family trip to CT tomorrow. We are planning on driving a nd leaving about 1:30. David has never been with me to CT and I am very excited to take him to my hometown. We plan on spending the day with Nana and Aunt Bonnie on Friday and having a great dinner with Sean and Betsey included then Saturday we are headed to spend the day with my BFF Cristina and her squeeze Mark.

I moved from CT to NC 16 years ago but so much of me still thinks of it as home. I enjoy going back to visit even though I don't get there as often as I used to. Nana is getting older and I know she will not be around forever and it's a scary thought and I know visiting won't be the same without her being there. I hope that one day when David and I have children that they will develop a close bond with both our parents. The relastionship I have with my Grandmother is unexplainable, I feel I have a part of her with me always.

I am Lucky

Some people call it blessed but I prefer the word "lucky". I am lucky to have a wonderful husband, I am lucky to have an awesome family that is now larger due to my wonderful husband,I am lucky to have an amazing group of friends, some that I have known for 10+ years and others only for 3+. I am lucky that I get to wake up every day in a beautiful house that is ours and even luckier that I get to spend every day at a job (whether I "love" it all the time or not). I have had so much luck in my life and it gets better every day.

Monday not so fun day

Mondays seriously depress me, usually because I have had such a fabulous weekend and I think about how fast it ALWAYS goes, but then again life starts speeding by faster and faster after your teenage years.  This week brings day job and night job Monday,Tuesday & Wednesday and then Thursday afternoon we head to CT. I am really looking forward to seeing family as well as one of my best friends,Cristina.

Now I must get.back.to.work.ugh.

Favorite

Christopher,one of my closest and dearest friends was teh photographer at our wedding. "Capturing the moment" is truly something he has ALWAYS done incredibly...Out of hundreds of AWESOME pictures, this one is truly my absolute favorite, it's when we are walking up the aisle right after saying I DO.

Amazed

I have had a bit of an obsession lately reading blogs. I find it absolutely amazing and somewhat fascinating how people carry on with blogs, truly like they are trained professionals. David and I have been talking about babes alot lately and I am truly excited about when that time comes in our life so in preparation I have been reading, A LOT! I have stumbpled upon some super great baby blogs. I told David I was going to have to start a notebook just to write down some of this valuable information on products and websites and advice OH MY! It does give me the inspiration to continue this blog and hopefully take care of it more and not leaving it out in the cold wondering what is happening this day or the next.

I am surprised my blog is still talking to me

WOW, it's August 2010, I have been married for 5 months, we bought a house 17 months ago and I have not posted about any of that. I don't know if anyone even reads this thing but I have been doing a lot of "blog reading" lately and it has definitely given me more of a nudge to get back in to writing mine.

Let's see...

The house. There will always be a project that has to be done but it's what keeps it exciting. We did a huge kitchen/downstairs remodel as soon as we closed and it turned out phenomenal. We recently just finished a master bath remodel and David has been building a shed (or should I say small house) with his Dad. In the fall we are hoping to start on a patio/firepit project but I think we are due a little break from the stress of remodeling.

The cats. A couple months after moving in I convinced David we had to get a kitten. David grew up with dogs and I grew up with cats and nothing against dogs but cats are just more independent and with as much as we are away it wouldn't be fair to a dog...within a day of deciding we were going to get our first pet we got an email from a neighbor of David's parents and they had twin kittins, serously identical. We have had them for over a year now and just started being able to tell them apart and that's only because one is larger than the other! We named them Carter and Finley (Which they share with the NC State stadium). These cats have brought us so much laughter and we just absolutely love their personalities and how friendly and welcoming they are to everyone.

The wedding. I will most likely have to do a seperate post just for he wedding, because it was just so darn AWESOME. In a nutshell it was a perfect, the whole weekend. The ONLY thing I would have changed would be to not fracture my foot at the rehearsal dinner (yes that happened). Luckily I have awesome friends and family and they were all there to help and of course a silly fracture didn't prevent me from dancing on chairs by the end of teh night.

The honeymoon. Absolutely Incredible!

The life. The adjustment period in to being married was a litle stressful and we argued for at least a month straight but we are better than ever. It's like this lttle tiny switch gets flipped when you say I do and something shifts. Luckily David and I talk about anything and everything and we were able to nip all that "stress" in the butt and now it's back to flowers,rainbows and unicorns...well kinda.

Dear blog,sorry for neglecting you.
