Life can just get so... stressful sometimes.
I am really truly excited to get married. I love Sir, and I want to spend my life with him.
But wedding planning is a lot of work! I see why they have professional planners that get paid lots of money to do this.
We've done a lot in the planning department thus far, especially considering our wedding is not for over a year! We have the ceremony and reception locations, caterers, menu picked out (the tasting is next month!), officiant and DJ. Our invitations and Save-the-Dates are done (ready to be sent when we're ready to send them). Our wedding website is 90% done.
Between planning, the craziness at work (they sent me to Denver for training which was amazing, but exhausting), the holidays, my brother being gravely injured, and dealing with my mom... it is hard for me to make time to blog.
I like blogging, I like the time to process and connect and write. But when I let it get away from me, it snowballs and snowballs until I feel like I have to play catch up, and it's too much to catch up on, so I get overwhelmed and avoid it.
So I'm going to just get on here and write from time to time and try not to let the rest get to me (the catching up).
Denver was truly amazing. I'd never been out west before. The landscape was a real shock to me. The beauty. The mountains! I spent most of my time holed up in the hotel with classes and trainings and events, but we did have one day of field trips and they really crammed a lot into that one day (we went to a nature center, a zoo, a museum, and a mountain park!)
My brother is having surgery in two weeks. He was really hurt at work to the point that we're lucky he is alive, and not paralyzed. But he is and has been in a tremendous amount of pain, and will probably never work again. I'm going out there to be with him and the family. Fingers crossed it all goes all right!
I'm going away again on Wednesday for work. Another meeting. Another night away from Sir. At least work pays for these things. I feel so fancy sometimes with my business trips, ha!
In the meantime, now that it is cold, Sir has been thinking up ideas for a winter uniform. Can't have me going around in a white tank top and nothing else in this freezing weather!
... Well, I guess he COULD, but I am glad that he is electing to do something else.
Hope you're all staying warm (or cool as the case may be!) and having lovely holidays!

Hi Lea, so great to hear from you :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been busy! Well done on the wedding planning, it certainly is stressful. The trip to Denver sounded exhausting, but wonderful.
So sorry to hear about your brother. Sending positive, healing vibes.
Hugs

It does seem like you have a backlog of "stuff" going on. Just take a breath and do your best.....it's all anyone can expect.
ReplyDeleteGreat to here from you Lea, trust in God it will all be right in the end :)
ReplyDeleteThanks you guys! My brother came out all right from surgery. I was there to help him. Hopefully he can spend the next 8 weeks healing and then he should be able to walk again!!
