oh, hello dear

Harper is sick. We don’t know if he ate something or caught something or what. Whatever it is, Travis and I got very little sleep last night.

We moved dad the last two weekends. While it was stressful (his ability to collect “stuff” is mind boggling), I am glad he moved. I feel like it’s a fresh start for our family.

Wedding stuff is ramping up. Between getting stuff done for the wedding and family obligations (oh and harper’s bad puppy training), we’re booked almost every weekend until the end of the year. But then we get to get married, which keeps me going during all this stress.

Half marathon training is going well. I never thought I would say this, but I look forward to running. It’s my chance to escape from everything else that’s going on.

Life is good/busy/stressful/wonderful/draining/beautiful — all wrapped up with a bow.

things have been a bit crazy around here. between work, my sister graduating, my cousin getting married and our own wedding planning — there hasn’t been a lot of extra time.

things we are looking forward to:
– fourth of july down in galveston
– seattle in one month!
– when it is not 105 degrees every day (in texas that means late september)

wedding updates:
– florist, photographer, caterer, venue booked
– save the dates designs by the fabulous &Kathleen will be mailed out mid july
– {the perfect} wedding dress has been purchased. it was a totally random find and was just what i was looking for.
– a beautiful wedding sash made by IHOD arrived last week. it is so so pretty with my dress, i love it.

this is my baby sister
she turns eighteen today, i still can’t believe it.

time flies, i tell you.

love you LC!

this week is a busy one.  there’s…
work, work and more work.
finding that balance between work and life {yes, still trying}
attempting to cook real meals instead of having cereal for dinner {which i am definitely having tonight, dangit}
my sister’s 18th birthday on friday !! {travis and i are heading to houston after work on friday, i’m so excited}

this week is going to be a marvelous one! {being more positive every day was on my list of goals for the year, i’m succeeding already! ;)}

I think I’m finally starting to find that balance between work life and life life.
I knew I’d get there. I just need to keep reminding myself that there are many aspects in my life, and not just one defines me. Together they create a definition for me.
