Housewifery

I wonder if there is an all encompassing term for the act of being a housewife? Although its pretty sweet not to have a bedtime and to be the person in the couple who can be flexible and tries to just make life easier for their significant other, I must say, its becoming tedious. I mean, I have a laundry routine, and I do at least one load of laundry a day. I remember times where I had not done laundry for 2 or 3 weeks and was forced to launder my clothes for a lack of panties. Now I find myself digging in the bottom of my undies drawer because I feel like I wear the same 2 pairs. There are also the things you VOWED would NEVER bother you, that I now find myself doing. Who would have thought I would get on my hands and knees each day and hand sweep all of the hairs off the white tile floor in our entrance hallway and bathroom? I guess we really do turn into our parents as we age. I even clean with windex sometimes because it smells so clean. I still love having a clean home, but really, its time to start a job. When you start to wonder how socks keep magically appearing at the end of your bed, when you swear you just washed the same pair, you obviously have too much time on your hands. I suppose I should consider diving a bit deeper into wedding planning, but the final details, such as finding a bartender and a limo are so not appealing to me that I have no desire to take these projects on with a whole heart.

Still, I really have absolutely no reason to complain. I'm marrying a wonderful man who makes me happier and happier each day. We spent yesterday hanging out and accidently creating the beginnings of a bridal registry and I think this fun and company of those last three days spoiled me for the rest of the week to be spent entertaining myself....

Its Official...

Our wedding date is set for 5/15/10. :) I continue the chronicles of a housewife, with wedding planning. I've been quite productive as far as planning. We have the following: a place, food, hopefully a photographer and an officiant. In the works are also hotel accommodations for wedding guests, a shuttle, a and limo :/. I am working on the preliminary research for invitations, decorations, cakes, flowers, hair, make-up, etc. Other than that, there is the daily tidy-ing up. I have been trying to do one productive project a day that has a measurable beginning and end. This past weekend Brian's friends came down, which was lots of fun :) We ate a lot and played wiffle ball and my time in peds must have paid off because I was not as horrible as usual! And so, life continues to be a wondeful thing and I certainly hope I continue to be blessed with such good fortune and happiness.

Birthday Happiness

So this year was probably the best birthday I could ever have. I moved in with Brian on friday which was lots of fun. Then on Saturday, we slept late, went to breakfast and then drove up to Stasia and Brad's wedding with Sheena and Abe. One the ride up, my dad called to wish me a happy birthday and tell me the results of my PT boards. I passed with an 89% :) Stefanie and Dennis made me yummy funfetti cupcakes. Sheena did my hair in a cool french twist/bun. We saw the beautful ceremony and ate so much good food. The next day we brought Brian's little brother home for the start of school :( We then stopped to visit with my parents. My mom made delicious ribs and we played Monopoly for a few hours. On monday we went and looked at a Clubhouse which we have decided to use for our wedding! The paperwork is in, so hopefully we will offically have set the date soon.
