I just want winter to be over. I will never get to like being cold, scraping the car, wearing big boots (and a hat and mittens and a scarf), static in my hair, and all the other stupid things that come along with this long season. I also want it to be spring so I can go to Edmonton and get this wedding planning stuff on the go. I have so many things to get and I can't get any of them here ... Michael tux, shoes, favours etc. So I sit here freezing my butt off waiting for winter to be over.
Even with winter happening, my life has been non-stop. Well, it did stop for a while around Christmas when I kind of didn't leave the house much. People came over, which was awesome, but I didn't get out much. I was happy when it was January and I could leave the house again. Then of course, work got busy in a slow kind of way, and all I am doing now is sports it seems. I am proud of how things are going. I am happy with how the paper is now, with some changes we've made. We submitted tons of stuff for awards and I really feel like we can win some. And I am proud of myself because I've gotten some amazingly positive feedback lately. So no matter what some people say, no matter how many mistakes I/we make, I know that we are doing great. I will continue to strive to be better and I will continue to get better because of it.
I am going to be married in less than 7 months. I realized last night that August 8, 2003 was a Friday. Five years ago when I met Michael. I can't believe it's been five years. I am going to be Mrs. Blake! I am so excited. I may not talk about it constantly. I may not be going crazy with wedding plans and making sure everything is planned down to the detail, but I am excited.
I am tired from having eight seven year olds hanging off me for two hours (Brownies) and I have a lot of work to do tomorrow. Think I might get a bath. Or read a book. Or do anything that will make me stop just for a minute. We all need to just stop sometimes. It feels good :)
