A Simple Day, A Good Feeling...

Today was a good day. We didn't do anything spectacular but Bill and I were able to just "be with each other." For once, we didn't have any responsibilities, no work at attend to, no chores to be done, no one we had to visit. We were able to enjoy each other's company.

We had "our breakfast" at Dunkin Donuts, went to Lowe's, Home Depot, Ikea, and Sams. We are trying to make improvements to our home and we got a lot of really great ideas today. I hope we are able to do the things we want, they will just take time, energy, and sweat. But we will get it done. It will definitely be an adventure.

You know it's funny, I was never one of these girls that "had to get married, have a kid and live happily ever after." But today as I looked at my life with Bill I'm thrilled that I'm married to him and I get to live happily ever after. It's so cool to have all these plans, and adventures to look forward to. Sure, we have our challenges with each other, but I wouldn't change that, I embrace the challenges.

The Perfect Gift

It always seems to me that Christmas is here and gone before you know it. Lots of preparation for the actual "Christmas Celebration" and then it's over before you know it. I actually like that about it though. It's like you stress out about getting all the stuff done before Christmas is here, then it's kind of relief when it's all over.
We had a nice Christmas though, we spent Christmas Eve with Bill's family and Christmas day with mine. It's always a nice time. Now, I look forward to a week of sking in Colorado. Bill and I are heading out to Keystone, CO for a much needed vacation. We will spend time with my sister in Denver, ski some mountains, and hopefully take some day trips.

As usual, I received lots of great gifts this year. However, one of my favorites was a bracelet given to me by my sister. Me, my mom, and my sister all have the same bracelet, it bonds us together. We all wear it and think of one another. I'm the most emotional of all of us, so if I'm missing my sister badly, I just look at it and think of her, it's corny I know, but it gets me through missing her.

Oh well, lots of stuff to get done today so I better head off...

Where has the year gone???

Wow, it's almost Christmas Eve...where has the time gone? As usual, I haven't written in this blog in forever. I am gonna make a concerted effort to write more in the new year. 2007 has been a good year for Bill and I. We got married in July. Celebrated with our family and friends in October. And the rest of the year has been relatively uneventful in the "big scheme" of things.

We are looking forward to 2008! Wishing you all the happiest of holiday seasons and health, happiness, and success in 2008.

A long time

Wow, seems like forever since I have written. Guess it has been awhile and I need to get back into the swing of writing more often. A lot has happened since I have last written. Got a new job, got back on track with Bill and have discovered a "new me."

Things are good with Bill and I right now, right where they should be and belong. I'm relieved that we have made the transitions appropriately and as smooth as possible. We still have challenges but I think that comes with the territory.

More to come later when I have a bit more time...

Changes....

Change is inevitable, changes are everywhere around us. Does how you respond to change define you as a person? I guess that's the million dollar question I have had to answer as of late. There are a lot of changes going on in my world right now. Change is a funny thing. Bill and I were going to move to Charlotte, NC at the beginning of April and build a new life together, however, things changed. The changes weren't good or bad, they were just changes. So now, we will change our plans and resume our life in Clermont, Florida. So as we endure these new changes I will definitely continue to wonder what our new life would have been like in Charlotte, NC but will also feel content that we have a great life in Clermont, Fl. Who knows, change may again engage us....

Until next time...
