No Snow

Well, last night the weather forecast said snow from midnight to 5 am, but alas, all it did was rain. It must have warmed up too much for snow to fall, and that makes me sad. 🙁 There have been several days so far this year that snow was in the forecast, but I have yet to actually see any snow. Last year, the big snow occurred when I was in Georgia awaiting the birth of my beautiful niece. G took pictures for me, but by the time I got home, all that was left was a tiny dirty ice…

Non-Stop Dreams

Wow, talk about dreams! G and I both woke up this morning exhausted from dreaming all night. Why have we been dreaming so much lately? It’s been so many nights over the past week or two that we have both felt that we dreamed a lot and didn’t get much rest. Last night, my dreams were about Vegas, I think. Except in my dream it was a foreign country and I was there with a friend of mine from college who I haven’t thought about in a very long time. We ordered bananas and coffee from some guy that brought…

A Common Cold

Having a cold sucks. It’s torture, really. Slow, agonizing, torture. Aside from swallowing what is essentially snot all day, your throat burns and you have a constant desire to cough, which then burns. Not to mention the fact that you’re tired and run down and can never really breathe through both nostrils at once. This week, I have a cold. Just a common cold, I guess. Probably unrelated to the flu-like symptoms of last week. (And I’ll take cold over flu any day.) In some ways, it’s like my body said, “Wait, the wedding is over? And you’re back to…

The Importance of Goals

I know I’ve talked about Goals before, but the topic has been on my mind a lot lately. I guess it’s just that time of year, isn’t it? Most people call them “resolutions”, but basically that’s the same thing as a goal. In the end, it’s all about change. Changing something we do or say in order to obtain or reach something we want most in life. But how many times have we set the same new year’s resolutions year after year? How many times have we set the same goals only to look back a year or so later…

New Year, New Name, New Goals

A beautiful wedding, a fun honeymoon, and a happy trip home to Georgia for the holidays put an end to a decade that was full of hard times and heartbreaks. Of course, it wasn’t all bad, but any decade that brings two devastating housefires, a number of difficult relationship endings, and a physical assault that will haunt forever is a bad decade overall. It feels amazing to be letting that go and stepping forward into a new year, a new decade, and a new name. A new life with the right man. A new me with renewed confidence and real…

Leaving Tomorrow!

I can’t believe the time has finally arrived! Tomorrow morning at 8:05, G and I will leave for Las Vegas! Today is all about finishing the packing and double checking to make sure we have everything we need for the wedding. We were both up so late last night while I was frantically working on a bustle for the train of my dress. Yikes! I hope it looks okay! I still have some work to do on the hem. What was I thinking doing the alterations myself? I just have to sit back and remind myself that by doing that,…
