Big Day

In less than 48 hours, I will be someone's wife. I feel like the luckiest person to have found such a special and most perfect person to share the rest of my life with. When I think of "the rest of my life", I think of spending the winding down years with the one I love and learning and doing a whole bunch of new things with him.
The best thing is that we have many common interests, but at this time we have little time to explore them together- but in the years to come, it will happen. I am looking forward to traveling, new adventures, making the house our home, eventually becoming grandparents (hopefully not too soon!), and enjoying the company of each other and the one's we love.
Our families are coming together this weekend to share our day of commitment to each other-and I love the fact that everyone is so supportive and loving. I haven't seen or heard anything I haven't liked...that says so much.
I have completely given my life and love to him-
I hope he can see that, and know that our days left on this earth together are going to be wonderful because we have each other now.
I love you-

It's Time

Today I woke up and realized that we  only have a few days left before the wedding. I got a text from one friend reminding me "Only 4 days left!" and another friend calling me on my way into work to see if there is anything she can do for me at work while I am gone on my honeymoon. I have secretaries teasing me about taking a half day off the day before the wedding-wondering, "why would you do that?"  I have students trying to get used to calling me by my new last name, even though it's a little early...but it's all good.
I have been running for the last 3 weeks every day after school trying to get everything delivered, paid for, picked up, ordered and ok'd and reminders going out- on top of hockey tournaments, games, grades due, papers to check, and lesson plans to create and post on line, and assessments to administer. I feel that some of my endeavors are half hearted efforts, especially at work. I am so loaded-but who isn't?
I think every one of us is feeling the pressure, whether there are wedding plans or not! Our society is working us harder with very little perks to keep us going. It can be difficult to want to keep going at the rate we are, and be satisfied and happy.
I feel that this wedding is a new beginning-I believe I have said as such in past blogs...but it's true. I believe that we are on a new road, and our needs and wants are gong to be met, but in a way we might not have thought of all along...
My hopes and dreams of the Tea House is still on my mind for retirement, but I would like to wet my feet with starting up the catering idea, and my man is also looking forward to some changes in his life too. I feel with the kids being older, there is more opportunity for all of this.
We shall see!
November 5th, here we come!
I love you honey-

With that in mind-
Time for tea-
