Time sure flies

I don't know how so much time has passed since my last post...

Life has gotten pretty stressful over the past few weeks. I don't think I really acknowledged it until this weekend. Aside from being pregnant, Matt's company is most likely going out of business so he needs to find a new job, we weren't able to rent our house in VA for like 3 months so we decided to just sell it and take the loss (which is actually more stressful, but for a shorter period of time), and I've been told repeatedly in the past few weeks that I need to find a daycare ASAP as they all have 6 month to 1 year waiting lists. I'm currently "transitioning" into my new job at work, but my old boss refuses to come up with a gameplan for my old projects. And I know that isn't technically something I should be stressed about, but I am, because in the end it means my coworkers are going to get screwed, and I feel that reflects badly on me.

Now, this could just be the hormones kicking in and all that good stuff, but I think that anyone else with these things on their plate would feel overwhelmed. The GREAT news is that in 4 days I will be kicking back on a cruise ship with my sisters and forgetting all about this for 5 gloriously tropical days. "You boys like Mex-i-co? WOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

    Ha! Ha! You are going on a cruise and can't even have a fun fruity drink?! That would stress me out more than the other.

    Seriously, you do have a lot on your plate, and even more hormones raging through your body right now. Try to stay calm. I feel your pain with the Hampton house. We were right where you are, and it was no fun at the time, but ended fine.

    Sending prayers up for Matt to find a wonderful job quickly.

    Miss you!

Deliberate. The adjective, not the verb.

I'm getting so excited for our move.  SO EXCITED!  I'm going to finally spend adult time with my parents (which I'm sure will be infuriating and full of unintended consequences, but also awesome.)  They will be a daily (or maybe weekly) part of our lives for as long as we have them.  This is a deliberate choice, maybe a crazy choice, but one that I embrace with the little knowledge I have of the actuality of it.  I may miss the weather, but life is about people to me, not things. I'm going to live 0.4 miles away from my best friend, and 3.7 miles away from my sister.  I'm going to do real estate.  Matt is going to do a business adventure with his best friend.  This is a deliberate move.  This is a deliberate life.  This is a rebuttal to all the times people say, "I wish I could... but I can't."  Because the thing is, "There's enough time in  your life for everything important."  You are given only one life on this plane...

The Perfect Social Media Life

Watching a little Gary Vee this morning and his rant on caring about what other people think.  (Everything he does is a rant.  But an awesome rant.  I As intended, it caused me to reflect on my social media persona and think about why I post.  Honestly, I post because it's a bit of a yearbook for me.  I love documenting the great stuff, because my brain forgets (in about 0.2 seconds), and I especially love when Facebook reminds me of my memories.  I'm not trying to convince the world that I have the perfect life - I DO have the perfect life.  It's full of family and friends and experiences.  Shelter and safety and amazing food.  In fact, sometimes I DON'T post because I don't want people to compare their lives and feel lacking.  I just want to remember this amazingness for the days when it's not amazing.  Gary Vee posits that we post fantastic stuff because we crave other peoples' validation on our daily lives.  But I know eve...

All sorts of congratulations

We'll start with family... The event of the season! Lisa and Tom's wedding was this past weekend and I'm exhausted, but in a good way. My family (God bless 'em) can be so tiring... :) The wedding itself though was a phenomenal success. We got everything set up in time, the key players all showed up for the ceremony (though my parents were almost late because Colby threw a massive temper tantrum about putting on his suit), and the weather was perfect. They did a tropical/bbq type theme at an old estate (Joanna Furnace) with an accordian playing DJ. He was actually pretty good :) Saturday morning we girls went to get our hair/makeup/lives done, and Shakes was nice enough to accompany us and take pictures. Link is on the top left :) We made it to the church about a half hour before the ceremony to change and hang out, only to realize that by putting our dresses in the dryer to de-wrinkle, they had been almost ruined by a wayward dryer sheet. Other women would have panicked...
