Love Weekend

 
  So it's my friend Molly's wedding weekend :) I get to be one of her bridesmaids. It was so fun to have a friend-bride, so we could chat up details, frustration, excitement.. and I'm so happy for her! I'm glad my own wedding isn't here yet.. so I can plan.. yet I can't hardly wait! Hey guys, I'm in love <3
 Happy Weekend to all!

March week!

Happy Monday and happy new week!  We have two catering meetings this week, Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, and blooming trees. My daily thought email was "For every minutes you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness." - Ralph Waldo Emerson. If I was told that when I was frustrated, it would probably just make me more annoyed. But unaffected, I appreciate the reminder of making our moments as happy as they can be. And wisdom from Albert Einstein "I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." So fear not pursing something that makes you happy today :)

Hey fiance..

Marriage is a miracle - Two people with a past become one with a future.

... just in case I haven't told you enough recently, I love you. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you by my side, and to  spend yours with you. 

Quiet

So I'm a thinker, I make lists of lists in my head. I forget things, they resurface. My thoughts swirl. I think about places I want to go, about work things that need to get done, whether I'll ever be friends with my new manager..

I think about wedding things, about whether my timeline and my budget are correct, about not forgetting details when it comes the detail planning part, about finding bridesmaids dresses that aren't too expensive, about finding out where the honeymoon will be, about planning out a fun but true to us engagement session, about making the process fun and making sure I let others be a part of it.

I also think about not thinking about the wedding, about getting books read so I can transport them from my bookshelf to my future bookshelf, about things I want to learn like cooking and yoga, about things I need to get done, like taxes, about making time for hang out time and for dates and for being friendships, and I think about trying to get my hair to grow long like Olivia's,and planning to make sure it doesn't get too dry as summer comes, about using up nail polishes while also enjoying having them. I think about new outfits I'd like to try, about how to remember them. I think about getting another puppy and whether I'm forcing the idea on my fiance, and whether in general I'm too pushy, or too wishy-washy. Oh, and are any holidays coming up? Then I think about not thinking about things directly related to myself, and pray for others, and thinking about how I should really have a better organization of writing them down.. etc. I could go on. The point is, my mind is like never quiet. I love being a multi-tasker, but I see the value in being quiet. I just suck at doing it. I went on a long run on Wednesday night, and ran too far for my hip, simply because it was the first time my mind had been quiet for weeks. I want to enjoy the processes (reading, work, wedding, engagement, etc.) by including time being quiet and trusting.  Productivity, pleasant attitude, and pure fun!

Verse of the Week

16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
-2 Corinthians 4:16-18
