Hormones?

This weekend was one of those times when, for really no definable reason (ergo it must be hormones), I was incredibly sad. I mean, we had a great party on Friday, but I just wasn't able to muster up the "I'm happy to be sober" attitude necessary to embrace such an event. Saturday night Matt and I went to the BU hockey game using free tickets obtained from my boss, which was definitely the highlight of the weekend. But again, we got home from the game at around 10 and I just kept thinking about all my friends out partying it up and having an awesome St. Patty's day weekend. Then Sunday was the Ras Race in Davis Square, and that brought home the fact that Spring is coming, I can't train for any races (although I think I probably could have ran/walked the Ras), and I can't celebrate in the bars afterwards. It left me feeling like I was surrounded by friends, but still completely lonely. Even going to Church didn't make me feel better. If anything, it just brought home the fact that I have nothing really to be upset about, but I was anyway.

Today is better. Maybe because it's a work week and I have other things to occupy my mind. Or maybe because my fabulous husband did everything he could think of to make me feel better yesterday. And next weekend I'll be at home for Easter, where we will once again insist that my parents hide Easter eggs for their 30-something year old children...

:) The things you do for love!

    The answer is yes! You are experiencing the dreaded pregnancy hormones that make you sad when you should be happy, giddy when you should be sleeping, and mad when you should be thanking God that you have such a wonderful husband. Or at least that is what they do for me...

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...

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...
