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.

Peace and Harmony

So as it sit here on the couch, and should be reviewing my last physical therapy practice test, I cannot help but want to document the calm and harmony I feel at this moment. Although I miss my love horribly, this past month in Maine has been a blessing for healing old wounds, organizing myself and of course studying as many facts for my Physical Therapy boards prior to taking it. I still anticipate being hit by a bus, possibly in the form of failing my exam, but I hope this does not happen. For if it doesn't, I get to spend my time moving in with my fiance (i just love that word ;) ), unpacking and making that apartment a little more of my home, preparing for a career and WEDDING PLANNING. So my peace felt on this calm cool night is so nice, as I look forward to all the happy things to come.

Missing You

"Pride can stand a thousand trials
The strong will never fall
But watching stars without you
My soul cries

Heaving heart is full of pain
Oooh, oooh, the aching
'Cause I'm missing you,
I'm missing you

Touch me deep, pure and true
Give to me forever
'Cause I'm missing you,
I'm missing you..."

Because my phone might explode with all the randomness....

My attempt at Thai lettuce wraps and playing with my camera's focus.
More playing with the camera. Can you find what doesn't belong?

And further randomness...

To explain...My mother likes chocolate babies. They are tootsie roll like candy in the shape of babies. Of the chocolate babies...
Mom "Which one should I eat next, this one is small."
Me "Its a premie, eat it!"

Mom "The babies melted when I left them in the car!"
Dad "I'm calling DYFUS."

How to Spell Cleveland

So I drove the 7 hours to come and visit my Boo. Its been a nice visit, relaxing, catching up, eating lots, visiting the zoo and shopping. Since clinic has ended, this summer has been a hodgepodge and will continue to be so until I settle down in September. Still, traveling around spending time with friend and family has been a good time and so hopefully this will continue. :)
