The final five

In five days I will be married woman. How weird is that? As I write I am surrounded by wedding stuff…it has taken over the entire condo. Luckily I have had not only my mom, but also my grandma, out here the past few days helping me prepare. Mostly they have been working on wedding stuff while I have gone to my big girl job to escape it all. I am so grateful for all of their hard work! There is still so much to do but I feel like they have tackled many of the big projects! I have the rest of the week off of work to prepare myself for marriage….and to run errands, make schedules, pack for the honeymoon, and pick up my friends from the airport!


I wanted to share some photos of the condo, but right now it looks like wedding threw up on it. So instead I’ll leave you with some cute faces to tide you over.

    Glad you had time for a blog note..I enjoy them. I think about you all the time….I know you are very busy but as I always tell you enjoy this special time in your life. If you can believe it I still remember the week before my wedding. Yesterday the biggest package ever arrived for you & Jon. I think it will take up the whole car when we bring it Friday. Can't wait to see you.

To manage stress, I try to take frequent breaks, remember to smile and laugh every day, carve out some alone time every morning, exercise daily, and turn to friends and other resources available to me if I need extra support.

Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle with my children. Gentle with my family. Gentle with myself. Gentle with those who believe differently than I do. Couldn’t we all use a little more gentleness? After 8 years of raising babies and a crazy 2020 it’s what my mind, body, and soul needs. And my kids and family need it from me too. Have you chosen a word for 2021? If so, let me know what it is! (and thank you @bluegrassred for the word inspo! I heard her talk about it a few times on @pantsuitpolitics and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Exactly what I need for this year!)
